[Roa_Aoife]

The rain poured on the blaze, aiding th eitred workers. Roa stopped and lifted her over heated face to the sky, letting the cool drops drench her. Her arm began to sting again as the water hit it. A little ways away, a commotion had started. Apparently a young man, perhaps only a year or two younger than Roa, had accused another of starting the fire in the bushes. Arson would explain how the fire got here, but how could he know who started it? Roa left her position and walked over. She recognized one of the women as her kin, though she could not place the name. As she listened to the boy and whatched the older man, Roa became convinced of the the bearded one's guilt. Still, the others were right- this was not the time nor the place to handle this.

"Perhaps," she spoke up, "we should have them both detianed by the sheriff untill a more suitable time. We can figure this out later. Or better yet, have them put to work under the eyes of a few guards." She didn't know if nay would listen to her, but she hoped that her kinwoman would trust her words. This was not a time for rash actions, Even though the rain was helping, therre was still a fire. And after the fire, they would need to begin repairs. All of this was better not dealt with now. Roa turned to the young man. "You must wait, young master, till this be settled fairly. We cannot have people taking such extreme measures of their own judgement. That would create chaos." She used the same voice when calming a wild horse. Roa hoped he could see that she believed his words and convictions. She didknow what else to do.
