"No!" That cam out a bit more harsh then she intended. "No, doctor, or hospitals. Nothing like that." They would find her faster that way. And what are people going to say. "I'll be fine."

Amber’s eye brows raised in surprise when the girl exclaimed like that. Maybe this girl was crazy. She huffed, nodding her head slowly. “Okay, whatever.. Do you want an ice pack or something..?” She asked.

"S-sure." Xira was glad the girl didn't ask any questions. Honestly, she felt really uncomfortable here. Maybe it was a bad idea to come here. Anxiety struck and she fiddled with her hands to try and calm down. Her eyes never left the floor.

“I’ll be right back,” Amber said, stepping out of the room and heading across the hall to the kitchen. She looked in the fridge for a moment before taking out an ice pack, heading back into the bedroom afterwards. “Here, that should help with the swelling,” she said as she handed it to the girl.

"Yeah.." The ice pack felt nice on her knee and it helped her relax. "So, um, my name is Xira." She though she'll be staying the night she might as well introduce herself. It would be rude not too. "And you are?"

“Ambrosia, but you can call me Amber,” she said, her hands going to her hips. “Xira.. That’s an interesting name,” she commented, her lips pursed. She glanced Xira over slowly, seemingly trying to figure her out.

"So is Ambrosia." She replied. Xira didn't think that her name was weird. She saw that Amber was looking her over. "Do you need something?" If she had questions she might as well ask. Xira eyed her just as much as Amber was eyeing Xira.

“Mm, no, not really,” Amber hummed, looking away and down at her nails for a moment. “What about those bad people you were talking about before? Were they cops? Because if you have drugs or something I can not get caught with those in my house again.”

"No I don't have drugs." Xira also looked away. "Can you seriously not tell that I'm not human? I mean I don't look like to very much." Her kind has been known to control one of the four elements. Some can use air while others earth. Xira on the other hand can control water. "Those people want me for," Xira wasn't sure if she should tell Amber the reason they actually want her. "For reasons I'd rather not answer."
(Is it cool if she can control water? Or should I change it?)

(Yeah, she can, no need to change it.)

“You look human enough,” Amber responded with a shrug. She thought that this girl was absolutely crazy, so she would humor her for now. “Well, you’re staying under my roof, so I would like to know why the evil people want you,” she said, an edge in her tone.

Xira sighed a stood up. "Where's the bathroom?" It would be easier to show her then to just tell her. Amber is only human after all, she wouldn't understand. "If you really want you know, then I'll show you." Xira was a bit frustrated with her, but she made a good point about her staying here. So, it was only right that she showed Amber.

“There’s one right across the hall,” Amber answered with pursed lips. “I don’t know how a bathroom is going to prove anything, anyways. Do you need help getting there?” She asked, mumbling the first part more to herself then to Xira.

"No I've got it." Xira swayed a bit as she stood trying to find her balance, as soon as she did she limped to the bathroom. Turning on the faucet, she took a deep breath before bending the water to her will. She shaped it into a whale and had it swim in the air around them. "Do you understand a little better now?" She glanced over at Amber.

Amber was fully expecting nothing to happen, but her eyes widened and jaw dropped when Xira actually did something. “What the fuck?!” she just about screamed, not sure if she was more freaked out or amazed.

Xira closed her hands into fists and opened them again, turning the water into mist. "Imagine if some high authority person had the power to control the four elements." She moved to the edge of the tub to sit. Amber's reaction amused Xira very much, she wasn't expecting it, but now Amber knew why she was on the run. "I can only do water, but my people have the power to do one. So, if they have me, all they would have to do is find the other three."

“And those-.. those people you were running from want to try and control all of that,” Amber asked, motioning to the lingering mist that was on the bathroom mirror. She couldn’t believe this was happening to her. All she wanted was a quick smoke, and now she had to deal with some magic girl.

"That's just a theory, but it's the most logical one." Xira took the last of the water in the air and on the mirror and put it in the sink so that it wouldn't leave a mess. "So I won't be staying here long. You would be in danger if I did." Xira looked down at her knee. It looked better, but was still not healed enough to run. "All I need from you is a place to stay for the night, then I'll be out of your hair in the morning."

Amber covered her face with her hands for a moment, her shimmering, long false nails standing out against her very pale skin. “Alright, okay,” she said after a moment. “You can stay. God, you are so lucky you are hot,” she said, muttering the last part more to herself.

Relief was all she felt in this moment, it was nice to know not everyone was bad. Xira leaned forward and smiled. "Thank you." She'll have to leave at some point but for now she'll stay. Plus her house was nice and felt comfortable. "I'll help around the house or something, to make up for me staying here." Xira would have to blend in a bit more. Maybe dying my white hair will help, I could possibly pass my marks as just tattoos. Her awful pale skin she couldn't do much about that.

“You’re joking, right? This place is pretty spotless, a maid comes about every other day to make sure it’s kept that way,” Amber explained. “Besides, your knee is completely fucked up. You just need to go and lay down,” she added, motioning to Xira’s knee with a long, pointed nail.

"It will heal in no time." Amber was right, this place was so clean that it was scary. Maybe she could get a job and pay rent or something, it just didn't feel right not helping somehow. She stood and hobbled her way back to the bed. It was soft and felt nice on her back. It was nice to sleep on a good bed. "Thank you again."

Amber had followed Xira back across the hall to the guest room. She had paused before leaving the bathroom, wiping off a bit of the mist that had formed on the mirror with her finger. This seemed so impossible. Once back in the bedroom, she lingered in the space in front of the doorway, her nails tapping on a wooden dresser. “Yeah, no problem. Hungry or anything like that?”

Xira shook her head. All she wanted was sleep, food could wait for in the morning. "I'm fine." She crawled further on the bed and got under the covers. It was nice and warm, unlike outside. "I think I just need some sleep." Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and fully relaxed.
