Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xandra jumped up as Conner spoke. She glared at him and leaned backwards, falling off the edge of the roof. She landed shakily and dashed past a few more buildings.

Clavian's gaze moved lazily between the two combatants, swords whispering through the air as they attacked, parried, countered and blocked; and the building-leaping pair as they disappeared over the rooftops, before making his way towards Aria, leaning on his staff as he spoke.

"So, we hang back, wait till they tire each other out, then move in, yes?"

A portal opened down a side-street beside the square, and the Captain of the King's Legion stepped through, steel bared as she strode with purpose into the milling ranks of stunned Legionnaire's. She seemed angry, and opened her mouth as though to speak, when what they looked upon drew her eye.

And she stood, almost as stunned as they, looking at the glorious display of deadly grace and form being danced before her eyes. It took a long moment till she gathered her wits, and nudged the nearest officer. He jumped slightly, and turned towards her with annoyance in his features; the reprimand to watch out died on his tongue as he face his Captain.

Though he had a foot of height on her, and at least that in shoulder width, the seasoned warrior winced visibly under the glare she seethed up at him. Reaching up, the short-haired woman seized his cloak front, and hauled him down to speak in his ear. Whatever she said, he seemed intent on leaping to obey as he shouted orders to the men-at-arms. They began to fan out from the square, some moving to aid those caught in the fires, the rest holding back the crowds from the brawl of the Avariel and the child.

For Tarma's part, she stood on the forefront of the fray, the sword standing point-down on the cobblestones. Resting her hands on the pommel, the swordswoman stood and waited with every semblance of patience, her eyes following the battle with an intensity beyond even that of the other onlookers. Only she among them knew the stakes the Kingdom had in this private war, and so only she could know how desperately they needed for the Avariel to succeed...

Conner looked from atop the building he perched himself on as blood splattered everywhere, with a shocked look on his face and jumps off, then runs back to Aria and looks at her and says "Well...I DO NOT envy the guy who has to clean that up! smile "

Conner saw Xandra stareing at the corpse and asked "You know him?...Cause honestly i'm lost in all this stuff..."

Conner stands there and whispers to himself "M-master?" then he looks at Damien for a while and looked back at Xandra "C'mon, I should probly get you out of here before things get worse. Aria, could you find out what this Averial wanted with Xandra before you turn him in?"

Conner was just about to say somthing but then thought to himself "Probly wouldn't be best to tell her...Don't want to sartle her any more than she is now.". Conner Tolled Xandra "We aren't sure ourselves...We got distracted for a while then saw the mess.". He hoped she couldn't tell he was lying and that she'd think the shaking of his hands is from being nervous from the previous battle.

Conner put his hands in his pockets as they kept walking, and he thought to himself "I may as well come out and tell her about the Averial...Couldn't do any harm...Could it?". After the got out of the sight of the mess Conner turned to Xandra and said "I havn't exactly been entirly truthful...And thats pretty low for a Derhonian Knight so..." he took a deep breath and then said "We witnessed the Averial kill the child...And I believe he is the one who you were being brought to...I didn't want to scare you so thats why I lied." after say this conner bows his head in shame (All Derhonian Knights take a oath to their god never to lie, cheat, or steal.)
