Aslynn tilted her head taking the time to actually observe the two in front of her, they didn't seem much older than the small boy she had just helped. Perhaps it was feud between clans, it wasn't that uncommon and children could be cruel but she felt a small tinge of uneasiness at raising a sword towards them. The dull rusted metal gleamed slightly, she could tell it was old and most of it's edge was gone, the only thing left were a few jagged teeth caused by the blade chipping from use. The extra weight suddenly attaching itself to her side almost drew the young woman off balance as she looked down, a soft smile at the small boys show of courage before offering him the sword. 

[b]"This is yours isn't it? Thank you for letting me borrow it."[/b]

She smiled again wrapping his hand around the hilt before gently prying him off her side moving him so he was standing right behind her when the girls cold haughty words rushed over her. The uneasiness was soon replaced with the anger from early. In truth fighting with the broken sword wasn't easy, it was unbalanced and warped from the years it had seen. Straightening back up she ruffled the small boys hair before turning to face the pair again, her eyes cold and glinting like steel, her left heel slide back slightly widening her stance as she watched the young girl easily handle the make shift spear, the soft twang of the sling cutting through the air reached her ears as well. The tense silence was almost tangible as she could feel the fear from the small boy behind, the warmth from the lantern was still washing over her. 

[b]"Well, I don't usually beat up kids, but I never turn down a fight."[/b]

A grin broke out across her face as she shrugged swinging the lantern slightly, it had enough heft to it that it would do some damage if she could land a hit with it. The blacksmith watched as the deer masked girl lunged at her ducking under it before offering a wide swing of the lantern in reply keeping an eye on the boy with the sling. [b]"Two against one, isn't that a little bit unfair?"[/b] She knew it was a pointless question but she asked it anyway laugh softly while dodging the girls attacks, the lantern had skimmed her once leaving a bright red burn but she had received a small gash on her cheek in return from her. The power of the lantern flooded through her beckoning and coaxing her to create, to summon forth monsters, to bring forth weapons of power into this strange world. The dark hunger behind it was quickly masked behind a more gentle nature, one that tried to portray a sense of help and wonder. 

Unsettled by the strange thoughts flooding her mind, Aslynn received a nasty scrap up her arm for her lack of concentration a hiss escaping her lips as her teeth gritted in pain and anger, she knew she was at a disadvantage but she wasn't going to take the boy's weapon again, the desire for a weapon flooded the lantern and their was a flash of purple as a wooden sword appeared in her hand. The grip was warm and familiar, the straight back with the curved edge made for an odd shaped weapon but a giddy laugh escaped her lips as her eyes focused on the lantern. [i]'Is this what it meant when it whispered about creation?'[/i] There was a sense of awe in her thoughts before she shook her head snapping herself out of it, gently setting the lantern down at her feet she pointed the end of the blade towards the pair holding it with both hands, exhaling slowly her red hair followed behind her like a banner as she slammed the flat side of the blade into the deer-girl's stomach before spinning around bring the hilt up into the sparrow's chin. 

Whether it was enough to render them unconscious or not, Aslynn would have to wait and see as she walked back over towards the armored boy, the sword hanging limply in her left hand as her right put pressure on the cut on her arm, the gash on her cheek had already closed leaving a trail of dried blood on her cheek. [i]'Did I really need to get into a fight as soon as I got here...wherever here is...'[/i] The dark thought echoed in her mind before she smiled at the boy again. 

[b]"The name's Aslynn, what's yours?"[/b]
