From that point onward Ena mewled pretty much constantly, since she was uncertain about what would be the best course of action in the given situation. Betraying her friend, her family, or the Dynasty? Since no matter what she'd choose it'd either displease Kaya or deprive one family or the other of a potent scion. This became worse as the three of them departed and Jet proved to be a partner in Kayas shenanigans. She was used to the Air Aspect's quirky nature but her antics became much too unbearable for her when her flames of chaos were fanned by Jet egging her on.
“A-Are twins usually this lively?”
“Nah. Jet and I just get along better than others.”
Kaya said as she tried to hit her brother with a small hand-sized sack of beans but ended up striking Ena instead.
“Whoops. Sorry.”
“I’ve sometimes seen patrician and plebeian siblings behave in similar manners to us. So I believe this is just what happens when siblings are allowed to interact more than once per month.”
Jet responds and Kaya begins nodding in agreement.
“Yeah! Sadly the Houses perceive such attachments as weakness. But I’ve never once found someone who said that and whose teeth I couldn’t kick in. Speaking of which… Jet. Get in the back.”
The two Dragon-blooded looked far ahead in front of them, as if their eyes caught a glimpse of something far out of view. Jet did not budge and instead looked at his sister.
“What is it?”
“Some people just hid on the road ahead. I think we’re about to be ambushed by a bunch of bandits. We’ll handle it.”
Ena started rummaging around in her belongings and withdrew a device, which she handed over to her husband.
“Are you familiar with these?”
“A firewand?”
“It’s loaded. And here’s some more powder. Be very careful with it, and use it in case one of them gets close.”
“Are you going to fight as well?”
“Of course, husband. I am a dynast after all.”
Jet took the armament and looked at it closely. He always wanted one of these. Firewands were a fascinating and exotic weapon that shot jets of flame produced by firedust, pure fire that coalesced into a powder through unknown magics in the South. Unfortunately the rarity and difficulty of transport makes it prohibitively expensive for all but the most wealthy aristocrats. Even members of the Dynasty eschewed its use in favor of the much cheaper, and much more elementally harmonious bows. He had never fired one before but he was confident he could, and that hitting something with it would be just as easy as with a bow. The question was, did he want to?
