Mithril silently counted the number of assailants that had come out of the city like cockroaches, approaching a potentially dangerous man on the rooftops just a short time after he had  torched a single building. 
They sure got there fast.. Mithril silently wondered how this group had engaged him so swiftly, never mind the fact that they had scaled the rooftops to confront him.

Not that it really mattered.

The air was thick with his suppressing aura of fear. The elf, the knight, and what appeared to be a little girl, showed no outward signs of being effected by its secondary function. That spoke to him of discipline. Skill. Strong wills. The Golden sword, shrouded below the thick black cloth, had a single cross upon its blade shining a low red. If they could see it they might have worried about it. Maybe.

The lunge came just as Mithril turned to address the knight woman. The partisans blade passed within an inch of his armored hand and another near hit as he moved out of the blades path ever so slightly, both feet still planted firmly where they had been before. The aura about him took on a tinge of outrage as the smiling metal mask turned to view the elf lass. She was quick, most elves were, and her strike had been a blur. To phrase it perfectly it was the same as watching a tunnel asp snap. The snakes were terrifyingly quick and potent. Mithril made note of that realization but did not raise his guard.

Mithril turned his attention, but not his head, to the knightess and continued.

[color=0072bc]"By your laws, I am a victim of an assault upon my person. You are a witness. Tell me, will you not defend my honor after being attacked by a vigilante?"[/color]

Mithril had no idea if the elf actually had some sort of authority. Or if the knightess did. But it would be fun  to see what came of it all anyways.
