"You truly are going to be a useful esquire!" You dig out your lantern (you can't see heck otherwise!) and your trusty rapier!
"Pft. You're still a complete anomaly in my records. Still have no idea if you're a human, Drone, or somethin' else." "I'm Casey!" "I mean, I joined Ms. Nicky Deer's team for the sake of interesting stories and hoo. You're one of 'em."
"I take that as a compliment!"
"I suppose it was. Now, my loyal knight." Kiara playfully ruffles through your hair! Hehe! "Let's go deal with this mugging milksop, hm?"
"Verily!"
"Atta girl!"
The two of you begin your trek towards the Cowardly Mugger, if Seath was correct in his assessment of her! You're not one to distrust the wisdom of someone far, far higher in rank than you!
The low income slums, as to be expected, are crowded despite the rampant violence and crime around you! It takes a good long while for you to shove past the desperate people who may enjoy Beetleburger™ $1.99 double quarter pounder combo™- No, no, bad brain.
Their low, glum faces that hardy react to the light you're carrying does dampen the smile you normally wear. You doubt any of them could put up a fight against anyone who's even remotely trained! Or...well fed, even. Hm.
Kiara picks up on this too. "Oof. I think I saw an android who hasn't gotten a chassis cleaning in years." She points towards a robot who's more rust than metal at this point. "Sooner we get out of here, the better, right?"
"Verily...I love the companies but this is something I do not wish to experience again."
The crowd suddenly freezes up in place! Kiara accidently slams into a bulky man with really nasty tattoos all over him! She whimpers once he grabs onto her cloak, "H-hey! Sorry, sorry, didn't mean no harm sir! Could I interest you an interview?"
You quickly disarm his rage by showing your lovable face to him! That's the reason they let Nicole pick you!
He lets go of Kiara and jabs a thumb further into the crowd that has completely crowded the sidewalks and streets. "Bother the Lady in Black about it. Once she's done moppin' up some poor sod."
Kiara takes the lead in pushing the crowd since she's a bit stronger than you are. You trail easily behind her until the two of you spill out into the empty part of the road the crowd is swarming around. The empty circle you're in has enough room for four people to move around comfortably with a lot of breathing room.
Seems like they're keeping a wide berth!
Your eyes are drawn towards a man draped in a suit of rags laying on the ground. A knife lays just out of his arm's reach. A small hole in his chest is oozing blood way, way too fast for a normal wound! "F-fucker! T-that wasn't...f-fa..."
"Silence." A rapier jabs down onto the palm of his hand, causing the man to screech out in pain! The crowd promptly takes the man away now that he's clearly out. The one wielding the rapier snaps her attention over to you. "A new challenger ready to duel me? Let's see what I'm dealing with."
