[color=firebrick]"What!? Imbecile!"[/color] Malakaus tried in vain to catch this "hero" as he made his escape, but alas, magic must have been fueling him and the stranger made a quick escape. His fool, Aleph he called himself, promised yet another battle another time. Malakaus signed and made a mental note to make sure the town guards kept an eye out for him. If he wanted to fight someone, so be it, but Aleph had better had the judgement to take his fight outside of a public district. There were plenty of warehouse and open spaces one could fight at and minimize the damage. Standing there exasperated the orc's attention then turned towards the mage Aleph had fought. She seemed unharmed, but was obviously quite powerful. He wasn't sure who was the aggressor here, though Malakaus knew that if he couldn't speak to Aleph he wouldn't get both sides of the story anyways.

The girl seemed curious to know who Malakaus was and why he would interrupt her duel, as if it shouldn't have been obvious enough. But when she mentioned Celestia, it took Malakaus a moment to figure out what might have happened. While he has yet to associate with the Celestia family themselves, he at least knew they were a powerful wizard family. And with that came their strength and arrogance. If Aleph was as much of a foolhardy hero as classical stories tell, then he imagined that Aleph had done something to slight this girl, and her pride could not allow it to pass without violence. She introduced herself as Vesta Celestia, one of their heirs. He bowed towards her, as he often does to every stranger he meets. [color=firebrick]"Malakaus Firebelly of the Great Swamp Tribe, knight errant of Lugnica. I have heard of your family, and their power is quite prideful."[/color] He's mostly heard them in passing from annoyed nobility for reasons Malakaus honestly cared little about. but the frequency of their name was somewhat alarming, and in hindsight Malakaus should have paid more attention. Oh well.

Sighing Malakaus still had a job to do. He'll need to figure out why this fight was happening and whether or not any judgement should be passed. No one seemed hurt, and despite his initial worries the damage done to the area was minor. In fact, aside from blocking traffic during the duration of their duel, there didn't seem to be any damage done at all. [color=firebrick]"Though I wonder why someone from such a prestigious family like yourself was fighting with that so-called hero. I have no doubts that you're more than able to take care of yourself, but regardless as a protector of this kingdom I must know why one of it's citizens was fighting within it's capital. Please understand you're in no trouble, but I cannot allow these battles to continue frivolously."[/color] 

As he spoke, a mere peasant passed Malakaus and Vesta. While initially beneath notice, but out of the corner of his eye Malakaus noticed what appeared to be a sword on his belt. It appeared to be a sabre of some sort, but combined with his peasant robes, Malakaus wasn't quite sure what to make of the stranger. Little did Malakaus know of course, the man's clothing were a quality above that of a peasant, but Malakaus never had such an eye for clothing.  He did make a minor mental note to keep an eye out for him or others like him, as he's not seen anyone who looked like that before. The amount of foreigners coming into the city was both astounding and, upon further thought, not quite as unexpected as it ought to be. Malakaus needs to actually see people more.
