(I modified!)
Nancy looked around with her neck and pressed her hand into her wound on her arm, then tried to stand. Forgetting that her foot was broken, as soon as she reached her full heigth, she wobbled and fell helplessly to the ground. She sighed, annoyed with herself. She found a piece of spare material in one of her pockets and wrapped it around her foot like a cast. She tried to stand again, and this time managed to. She took a step, then another. It hurt her incredibly, but she kept trying, fighting the pain. Nancy grimaced and tried to head towards the entrance, then stopped herself. It would be rather rude to just leave after someone rescued her and might be looking to find someone who could help her.
She eased herself back to the ground, quite exhausted after such a tedious exercise and fell back asleep. A low buzz filled her ears, but she did not notice anything. She cared only for her dreams of her family she had left back at home and the girl who had saved her life. She slept like there wasn't another care in the world and she was happy. She wondered when her rescuer would return.

Roughly twenty minutes later the fox demon returned, finding the girl either asleep or unconscious and Sal... "Sal..! What are you doing in.. in..." She stuttered, a mix of anger and panic in her golden eyes. The being that was previously a large crow was now a man maybe in his late twenties, leaning back against a stack of hay with a strand of it sticking out of his mouth. His hands were behind his head relaxedly, his legs sprawled out before him. His skin was pale, especially in contrast to the fully black, Asian-looking suit he wore. His hair was straight and long, flowing a few inches past his shoulders, and a beautiful silvery-white. He almost looked like he was sleeping, until a chillingly cold, nearly white blue-grey eye opened to glance at the fox demon.
Now that he had an eye on her she averted her gaze to the girl. "What the hell are you doing in that form!?" She hissed in a whisper-yell. "Did someone come..?" Sal shook his head. "It was just rather stuffy in here. I figured I could get more oxygen if I had bigger lungs." He said defensively, closing his eyes again. The fox demon leered at him slightly. "My tail! You prolly raped her or something, you s-" "For goodness' sake Ree, her clothes are still on! Your God. You're mixing me up with Seizure now." He paused. ".. Or maybe just everyone else you know." The fox demon called Ree still leered at him, particularly now that his eyes were shut again. As casual as this all seemed there was definitely an air of tension between the fox demon and crow man... and as innocent as Sal seemed, there was also definitely something about him.... unlikeable. Most obviously seen in his cold, white-blue eyes.

A lone Sprite trudged his way through the high grass around the barn, bickering to himself about his height disadvantage and how the owner needed to mow. His total height of 7 inches made going anywhere not kept cut a truly difficult feat.
His focus was on the large barn directly ahead. Tier seldomly walked through the night for fear that predators would be out also and was hoping to make it to the barn before those thoughts consumed him. When he reached the base of the building he let out a sigh of relief, placing his hand on the wood and thanking the Elders that he was alive. Shortly after however, he was cursing the building for its poor construction. "How the hell am I supposed to get inside? The door is freaking huge!" He pondered for a moment, his dark brown hair dangling in his eyes.
Tiers eyes flashed as he came up with his solution. Placing his ear on the wood, he heard no voices. It was safe! With no humans around, he could perform his electric element without interruption. He slowly placed his pointer finger onto the wood. small sparks began to emit from the tip of the finger and slowly burned through the wood. As he cut the whole, he imagined himself in the next few minutes, laying on some hay, cooking fried rat and relaxing to the sound of cricket chirps. He began cutting faster, anxious to get inside!

Nancy woke at the sound of voices. Around her she saw a Sprite, the girl who must have rescued her, and a man. Confused, she tried to stand, but fell. She winced in pain and spoke, "Hello. I'm Nancy. Who...who are you?" Nancy said, her voice hoarse. She was still weak, but managed to be strong enough. She waited for one of the 3 voices to reply.

The demon blinked at Nancy, who now seemed to be conscious. Her ear twitched as she heard the sparking magic of the sprite, vaguely smelling him before she heard him. She intended to say hi to her friend Tier... as soon as she kicked Sal's ass back into crow form. She turned to leer at him some more. "Change back!" She hissed through clenched teeth. He blinked open an eye on her again, then sighed. Shadows materialized from the air and enveloped his form, and just when it seemed like he was entirely made of the stuff it shrunk and reshaped him into the form of the large crow, the shadows then melting off him and disintegrating into the air.
He shook himself, a few last wisps of shadow slipping off him and disappearing. Ree sighed, glancing back at Nancy and wondering if she had been conscious enough to see that. ".. I'm Ree. This is my crow, Sal." She gestured at the bird. She then glanced toward the entrance where Tier was entering. "Don't worry about the guy coming in. He's a friend." She kneeled down, taking an assortment of medical things out of an olive green, scrappy-looking bag she had brought that had numerous 'coffee' stains on it - as she told everyone. "Lay down and relax, I'm gonna clean up your injuries. It's gonna sting." She warned.
( Hope you don't mind me knowing you already, CJ. o-o' I figure since you're practically your character like I am mine we already know each other. -shrug.- I can edit it if you want. )

Tier finally burnt the remainder of the barn side and kicked it in, coughing a hello to Ree as he entered. Once inside, he began to climb the ungodly awful ladder of death that lead to the loft. He dug is daggers into the sides of the ladder and hoisted himself up, then repeating the process until he finally reached his destination. Tier threw himself onto a bag of feed, tired and dizzy.
He eyed the stranger closely, squinting at her before speaking. "Eh....human...figures....Nice to....whatever." He turned away quickly but then glanced back at her again, noticing her injuries. "What happened to you?! Get on Rees bad side? Haha!" He pulled out some cricket jerky and began to munch on it. He smirked and waved a piece as to offer some to Sal.

Nancy's eyes bulged when the man before turned into a crow and Ree, or so they called her, was trying to fix her up. She slowly pulled away her bloody hand from the endless gushing of blood stil pouring out of her her arm. She winced, but when seeing a Sprite, she blinked and looked again to see him still there. "Pleased to meet you as well. No, Ree is trying to help me. I went into a cellar with hardly any air, couldn't climb back up and almost died in there, if it wasn't for Ree, here." Nancy, weakened from talking so much, coughed, then fell back to the ground, but wasn't asleep, just laying there, wincing every time Ree tried to help a hurt spot.
"What's your name? You are a Sprite, correct?" Nancy said from where she was laying, hoping that all of her training might have done her some good after all. She had studied everything from plants to animals to clothes to drinks in her magic classes. She was rather gifted and was quite happy with being that way at the present moment. One ill word and she truly could end up dead. Sprites may be small, but they had exceeding potential. She watched nervously at what the Sprite boy, the apparent Healer-girl, and her trusty human-crow Sal were going to do next.

Tier rolled his eyes at the girls questions. Why was it that humans were so fascinated by him? He finished up chewing on the jerky before answering her back, not because he didn't want to be rude, he just valued the taste of the meat more than he did the questions of a human.
"Well if you must know....My name is Tier Harper, like Ree said." He stood up to his full height of 7 inches. "And by the looks of things....Yes, I am a Sprite." He chuckled to himself and sat back down. "I thought you humans were intelligent creatures. Its still escaping me on how you trap yourselves in your own creations." He shrugged. "I thought maybe evolution would have taken over and you all would have learned from your mistakes....Evidently your kind has some trouble in the gene pool?"
Tier nearly laughed himself off the bag of seed. He normally wasn't this cocky with humans because of his obvious size disadvantage but with the girls injuries, he knew she was in no shape to do anything to him and so he would take this advantage.
