After getting into some trouble for fighting she had more or less requested to go north into Zena and work on her anger issues. Her "brother" was making a trip so she got to tag along. Of course half way to their destination Valek had decided to scold her for not acting very lady like. Riya rolled her eyes at him before she finally had enough and hopped off the moving cart to walk away. "Shut up Valek." She called over her shoulder.
Trudging through the snow was a welcome feeling but she would soon end up walking a lot faster. The pure ice boy that she called her brother had stopped the merchant caravan to get off the wagon and come after her. He was yelling at her to get back there and sit down. As well as something about being grounded. Riya scooped up some snow and rolled it into a ball before she tossed it at him. "Leave me alone!" When she figure out that he wasn't going to go away she turned and started to run from him. In her eyes, she had made it to Zena and that was enough. "Stop following me! You're being a creeper!" Anything to insult Valek and get him to leave her be. Of course she didn't know they were close to a village or that anyone would be able to hear her yell at him.

The morning had started out rough at home, so Ergon had taken an early lunch at the tavern. As he grew, he found himself more willing to talk to those who attempted conversation with him. It did make it easier to let go of the problems at home when someone else was telling lighthearted stories.
He was actually heading home in a rather decent mood when he heard the screaming. Following me? Creeper? He looked around, but everyone else was busy with their own affairs. ...He was old enough now! He should at least go make sure things were okay. So, he headed for the yelling on his own, gripping the small dagger in his pocket that his father insisted he carry around.
Slipping through the trees, he first spotted the girl running, and then the boy following her. The guy was creeping on the girl? Well, he wouldn't stand for that behavior from a Zenan! "Hey! Enough of that!" he shouted firmly, clearing one of the tree trunks to glare at the other male. "What kind of behavior is that for a Zenan to display?"

When she heard someone else chime in she stopped her running and looked around. When she saw Ergon come from behind some trees she blinked a few times. Riya hadn't known they were so close to people. Turning her head she looked toward Valek and stuck her tongue out at him in a "I win" kind of way. "Yeah, Valek, is that any way for a Zenan to behave?"
She was met with a stern look from her "brother" as he got closer and closer. The older boy looked at Ergon and gave a small nod of acknowledgement. There was a look that told the boy to stay out of it then he reached out to take Iriyana's arm. "Come on, I don't have time for this Riya."
Riya instantly tried to pull away from Valek. "Stop it. I told you already I can walk on my own." Then she glared at the older boy. "I'll scream." To say she was acting like a brat to someone she considered family was an understatement.

Ergon's gaze switched between the two repeatedly. Okay, the guy wasn't stopping... what now? He knew what a look like that meant, but he couldn't simply ignore the situation now. The grabbing of the girl's arm did put him on edge though.
"I said that's enough!" he said with more force, glaring hard at the young man. "Release her, or I will get the authorities! Or I will stop you myself!" He pulled out his dagger, but kept it pointed down to the ground alongside his leg. He had no idea how to use the thing, but he didn't need to tell them that. He tried to look as firm and confident as possible, eyes locked with the girl's 'tormentor'.

Valek looked at the boy and sighed. The boy was clearly fooled by Riya's show so he stood where he was and glared at the boy, even though it wasn't really his fault.
Iriyana thought she had won! Until she heard the threat and turned to look at the boy. It wasn't until she noticed the dagger that she started to get a bit more defensive. "What in Chi's name do you think you're doing?" Her hands went to her hips and she huffed slightly. "Do I look like a damsel?" She seemed to be more upset with the fact that this boy assumed she couldn't handle her own. Never mind that he was more or less willing to cut someone she called family.
So she waved her hand in the air slightly. "Valek isn't going to hurt me. He's practically my brother. I'm just tired of listening to him scold me for getting into a fight." Her eyes rolled and she gave her attention to the older ice boy.

Ergonheld his position, glaring right back until the girl started up. He looked at her with clear confusion. "Your.. brother?" So.. this was a spat between siblings? Huffing sharply, he shoved his dagger back into his pocket. "Well, by the gods, if you don't think you're in danger, don't run around screaming as though you are!" His own eyes rolled as he started to turn away. "You are going to attract the attention of someone less patient than I if you keep it up."

Riya narrowed her eyes at the boy as he seemed to yell at her for arguing with her own family. "Oh yeah, right, I'm sorry I wasn't in any real danger so you could play at being the hero." She rolled her eyes at him. With a rueful grin she leaned down and rolled up some snow before launching it at the boy's back.
"You could always mind your own business, pipsqueak." Because she was so much older than him. (Sarcasm) Wearing a smile that said she was the clear victor in all of this she put one hip out with some sass.
Valek went wide eyed as he watched Riya throw a snowball at the boy. "Iriyana!" But he was too late to stop her. With a groan he leaned his head back and threw his arms up. "Chi hates me.." With a shake of his head he turned away and started back toward the caravan. He needed to at least get it out of the main roadway before someone robbed it.

Ergon chewed on his lip with irritation. "Yes. I only came to your screams in order to be a hero. That is exactly what my intentions were," he grumbled sharply. Absolutely infuriating!
The impact at his back made him spin around. "Wait a moment. You're mad at me for trying to help?" Bending down, he scooped up his own ball. "When you scream your head off like a damsel, it is you who makes it other people's business." Chucking the ball, he glanced over at the retreating brother. Now where was that guy off to? "Someone else could have answered your wailing. They may have attacked first and asked questions later. Give your brother some consideration."

Despite facing forward she got hit in the chest with the snowball that the boy threw at her. Riya hadn't thought he would really throw it at her. Now that she had a new focus for her irritation she took a step forward and scooped up more snow. She flung it at him after packing it tightly and quickly went for another. "I can argue with him if I want to you stupid Icicle!" With the launch of her second snowball she had taken another few steps forward.
"I wouldn't have let anyone hurt Valek to begin with! He's family!" Why she was shouting at him now, she had no idea but it was helping her to release some of her anger so she kept doing it. "Not like some weak armed little kid like you could do anything anyways."

This time, Ergon was able to dodge the ball, grabbing up a new one of his own in the process. "You shouldn't if it risks his life, you brat!" This was what his mother wanted him to find?! This must be one of those she said was unequal to him...
"You underestimate Zenan hunters," he warned, chucking the snowball. "He would probably have been dead before you could do anything, seeing as you were so distracted yelling about everything!" Right away, he bent to scoop up another. "You should go on with him and keep yourself out of trouble."

Brat!? Iriyana gritted her teeth. Only her family could call her that! When he chucked more snow at her she moved out of the way then ran full speed at the boy. "I am a Zenan hunter!" Or, she would be. Since Ergon was busy scooping up more snow she took that opportunity to tackle him. If she succeeded in knocking him to the ground then she might just start to pound her fists into him. For now she would settle for pinning him to the ground and showing him just how weak he was!

Looking up sharply, Ergon just barely had time to react to the girl's charge. He got his upper half out of the way, but his hips and legs were hit full force. It went against everything he'd been taught to be in physical combat with a woman... but this was no woman! This was a good old wrestling match! ..Not that he'd been in one in quite some time, but that was not important!
"Oh yeah? A hunter of what? People who will put up with you being such a pain?" he snarled, reaching to try grappling with Riya's arms, as she was currently on top of his legs.

Not what she wanted but at least she'd gotten him to the ground! Riya wasn't at all happy that he had managed to avoid a full on tackle. That would have knocked the wind out of him and made him shut up. However, when he started to grapple with her she used her body weight and strength to lean forward. Angling her body slightly she aimed her shoulder for his chest. "Shut your big mouth you powder puff! A light snow has more strength than you do!" Riya wasn't even really sure why she was fighting with the boy.
It was more or less he was there at the wrong time. Her muscles needed the workout. So she made sure to keep the top position by straddling his legs and digging her knees into his hips. "I don't need poeple! I have my brothers and my best friend!" And that was all she needed. Right?

"Big mouth? Take a look at your own, sometime!" Ergon writhed around, trying to free his legs and keep his arms free at the same time. The girl seemed to be smothering him though! "You're putting up quite a fight against a puff of snow!"
Wincing at the knees digging into his hips, he relented and reached to grab her ear. "Those are still people, and you're going to chase them off eventually with this kind of attitude!"

With him grabbing her ear she winced, closing one eye in pain, but used her now free hand to grab a handful of his hair. Riya pulled just enough to tilt his head back. "I don't have this attitude with them." Though if the boy pulled too hard on her ear she would need to find a way to get him to let go. For now she settled for shimmying up so that her knees reached his ribs. It brought her closer and created slack so that her ear wasn't pulled so much. "Let go of my ear!" With nothing else to really do she squeezed her thighs around his waist, or what little bit it she could get, in an attempt to get him to be short on breath. "Don't you know when a wrestling match is over? You're pinned! I win."
