Chapter 8 (Part 2)

"Well, of course we can!" Evanz exclaims, genuinely excited to talk more about their world, friends, and experiences. "Right guys?"
Rage and Hollow nod in agreement; Fluke honestly just agrees with whatever Evanz says.
The boy's too cute for anyone to say 'no' to, despite the excessive teasing he receives from the crew.
"But when we're done, you folks will have to do the same!" He continues, smiling politely.

"I'm fine with that!" Armen replies, feeling just as cheerful.
"Yeah, I think all of us are good with those terms." Drake agrees, looking at the two blondes who give gestures signaling they're 100% okay with this.

Seeing that no one has disagreed, Hollow speaks up. "So, who wants to start us off?"

"Well, is that even a question?" Rage asks, grinning as he straigtens his posture.
The blue-nette rolls his eyes. "Of course. Go ahead then, you egotistical maniac."

"Oh be quiet, ya crazy bastard." The dark-haired Brit retorts, earning him a shove.
"Ouch! In any case, as you all know very well, Hollow here is a Water Elemental."
"Elemental? Wha-" Mia was about to ask, but gets cut off.
"AP AP AP, SAVE QUESTIONS TIL THE END OF THE DISCUSSION MISSY." Rage cuts in sassily.

"But-"

"NNNNOPE BACK ON TRACK. GET YOUR ASS BACK ONTO THE TRAIN OF THOUGHT."
With a huff, Mia gets her ass back onto the train of thought.

"As I was saying, as you know-"

"Get on with it!" Fluke yells out, smiling chesirely when the action earns him a look of annoyance from Rage.

"AS I WAS SAYING...Hollow's a Water Elemental. So, as the world has made it to be, i'm the complete opposite of his element. I'm-"

"He's a Fire Elemental, controls fire, lava, all the sorts. Yeah, you don't have to give such a profound speech just to tell us that." Rage turns to Hollow, who just shrugs.

"Prick."

"Twat."

You can practically see the steam burning off the two, even before they could go off into their worse 'nicknames' for each other.

"OKAY WE ARE NOT HAVING ANOTHER FIGHT I ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT THESE GUYS HAVE TO SAY." Evanz yells aloud, glaring at the two until they scooted away from eachother on their shared log.

"Babies." Fluke adds, rolling his eyes as he faces the four adventurers, waiting for a response.

"Hah, I kinda figured Rage was a Fire Elemental." Grayson says, smiling awkwardly.
"Oh? Is it because of the way he sprouted fire from his fingers and shot out a ball of it onto the logs?" Armen asks.

"No, it's because he seemed so.... hot-headed..?"

Rage burst out laughing, surprising everyone. "A-Are you joking?"
"I- huh?" Grayson looked at the other in confusion.

"Pff- Dude, wait check this out." In an instant, the dark-haired Brit gets off the log and stands away from anything flammable.
Everyone watches as Rage closes his eyes. He concentrates on anything and everything that's pissed him off. From Horror Games, to Timothy, to Hollow (but he still loves him of course).
---------
FWOOSH!

Within a few seconds, Rage's hair goes aflame, spiking with fury.

"OH MY GOD." Drake yells out, almost falling off the log.
Thankfully, Grayson helps steady his friend.
Armen, however, isn't so lucky as he slips off the log he shared with Mia. "ACK-"
"DUDE YOUR HEAD IS FLAMING." Mia exclaims, eyes widened as the flames only got brighter.

She looks over at the other Crew members. They looked just as surprised as everyone else.

"WAIT SINCE WHEN DID YOU LEARN HOW TO DO THAT?!" Fluke exclaims, smiling slightly.
"YOU LOOK LIKE YOU CAME OUT OF AN ANIME." Evanz says, laughing at what he just said.

"Thank you, thank you, you're all far too kind." Rage bows, similar to how Hollow had done after his water trick.

In a few moments his hair flattened down, turning back into it's normal shade of black as he sits back on the log.
He looks over at Hollow. "How's that for a cool trick?"
"I have to say, that was pretty impressive." The blue-haired Brit replies, smiling genuinely.
This surprises Rage, making the boy blush lightly as he smiles back. "Ah, thanks dude."

"Oooo~ Is that pink cheeks I see, Rage?" Fluke cooed, teasing the Brit.
This worsened poor Rage's blush, as his face tints red.
"Oh, go kiss a sheep!" He exclaims, flipping the blonde off.
"Not like he'll mind!" The blonde grins slyly, not noticing the flushed look on the Welsh's face.
"So! What are you guys' stories?" Evanz suddenly asks, eager to change the subject.
---------
The four adventurers looked at their new companions and then to each other, all having a question of their own considering both Rage and Hollow's relationship as well as Evanz and Fluke's. But, being the polite people they are, they kept their mouths shut.

Because nothing's more awkward than sharing crushes to both your best friends and a bunch of people you litereally just met not too long ago.

"Uh anyways, before we tell you our stories, we still don't know what you and Fluke control, Evanz!" Armen adds on to the conversation, earning a subtle nod of thanks from the Welsh.

"Oh whoops! Sorry lads, seemed to have slipped our minds!" Fluke answers, laughing to ease the short-lived tension. "I'm an Electric Elemental, bend lightning to my will and all that fun stuff. I also do some tinkering every once in a while!"
"And i'm, ah, not really like the other three. I can lift objects and such with my mind, as well as enter people's dreams." Evanz continues, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

He was never really sure what he was, but it's not like he minds his powers. They are certainly very fun to use on the rest of the Crew.

"Hmm, I know what you could be but the word's slipped out of my mind." Drake replies, trying his hardest to remember the term used for those with such powers.

"It's alright, Drake! The term'll come to mind eventually!" The Welsh assures him. "In any case, it's your turn to tell your stories to us, right? I'm sure it's quite interesting!"

The four look over at each other knowingly.

Their story is more than just interesting, that's for sure.
