After walking a bit of a ways through the forest, eyes glued to the town for some kind of survivors or someone she recognized, she heard a scuffling behind her. Immediately Laecora pulled herself up into the trees and worked her way towards the noise. Noises were WAY more interesting than a - literally - dead town.
After a few dozen paces she saw the strange man again, this time fighting an interesting looking woman. With her hand sliding to unhook her whip from her side, she stared at the battle, unsure of who was the 'good guy.' The man didn't seem inherently bad when she met him, just jumpy, but at the same time the woman seemed to have some kind of sense of justice to her.
