"The Coast it is!" Faelis said. "And about the pirates, I'm sure we'll be fine. I've gone there several times before, and I'm not dead yet!"
He wasn't dead, but he had been attacked all the times he had been there, though not necessarily by pirates. Well, they had been pirates some of the times, but they had only targeted him because he had stolen from them. So, all in all, Faelis had no proof that they would be fine, and he assumed that they would be attacked one time or another, but the elf was confident he would be able to defend both of them.
"It will take us about a week and three or four days to get there, going at a slower pace, walking," Faelis said to Leyla. "So not to long, and on the way, I can teach you how to use your weapons, though hopefully you won't need to use them."
Yes, hopefully, but with Fealis as traveling company, the elf knew that Leyla would probably have to fight one way or another, and if she didn't fight, Fealis knew that he would have to at least onece, probably many more times than that, though. The fights would probably come from Faelis's choice of profession. As a traveling thief, you gathered many enemies in all of the countries over the years.
