Scar- "What? No!"

Emily- "Nice try but I've seen it all before."

Scar- "All i want to know is why your running frantically on my boss's horse? And why you think I'm a soldier."

Emily- "By boss you mean the Old woman."

Scar- "Yea. so how do you two know eachother."

Emily- "Ahhhaaah, see your a soldier."

Scar- "No! I'm a Earth Warrior... my father taught me how to fight,"

Emily- "So, your going to fight me are you?"

Scar- "I don't want to...,I just want like some answers."

Scar- "Your from the Village of the Ice God."

Emily- runs and attacks "Hyaaah!"

Scar- "Who knows what you could find out here...flowers, water, animals, people,"

Soldier- "Your right, have you seen any people come through here?"

Scar- "I don't think so."

Soldier- "you don't think so, thats pretty unsure there boy, you could be arrested for suspision of helping her get away."

Scar- "Oh so its a she your looking for."

Soldier jumps off of horse and walks toward Scar "Lets make this easy, Have you seen her or not?"
