[indent][indent]The village burned as Zarif trotted away, that feeling of growth and accomplishment he'd felt at his kill mere moments ago turned to ashes, like the timbers of the collapsing barn at the edge of the small town, engulfed in ravenous flames. The merchant gritted his teeth, getting the small folk involved in such butchery as this was always sad. Unlike his allies here, they had little to gain and everything to lose from these things. He drew an arrow, hoping to make a doomed, too-far shot for some vain revenge on the theif who'd done the deed, but he already lay motionless next to one of the buildings, one of Siris' trusty throwing knives burried deep in his skill.

[b]Zarif:[/b] Good throw, friend.

He and the soldier had a bit of a rivalry going, sure, but he did have respect for the sturdy swordsman. Each enemy he slew seemed only to give him more strength, not exhausting him like the merchant himself. He wished he had that kind of drive. Still... this was a sticky situation. Several enemies were fast approaching, neither he, nor even the sturdy Siris could take all these blows. Maybe he could draw their fire, lead a few of them away from Siris, and get some of the heat off of him. Of course... he could be setting himself up for danger but Siris... he's been so brave standing there on the front lines, Zarif felt a tad inspired, and a hint embarrassed, up here on his perch, though he would never admit it. 

He galloped towards the enemy swordsman, and landed two painful, but ultimately nonfatal shots to his abdomen, before turning tail and galloping in the opposite direction. He shouted foul exclamations as he did, doing his upmost to goad the swordsman into taking chase
