Lorenna let out a startled gasp when Maleth fell to the floor, right on his wound. Immediately she rushed over to him to take a look at the injury, to make sure it hadn't started bleeding again. Noting his hand reach into his pocket, as though to assure himself whatever it was were still there, she smiled at him. "You really should be more careful." she teased.
But then jumped back in fright when he smashed the floorboards underneath them, the wood cracking and splintering, leaving a small hole there, shards of wood lying scattered all around. The door burst open then, and two armed guards rushed in, weapons drawn and at the ready. Looking quickly at the two sitting on the floor in confusion, one of the guards who was more burly than his comrade with a thick beard covering his jaw, demanded to know what was going on. "What's going on here? Is everything alright? Lorenna?"
Lorenna stood up then, smoothing out her barely there top. "Yes, I believe so." she told the guards, looking back at where Maleth was sitting on the ground, looking angry about something. "I think he is just upset about what had happened to him on the streets."
"Did he hit you?" the bearded guard asked with a firm tone, an edge of hard steel in his voice as he looked sharply at Maleth.
"No, no, nothing of the sort. Although I can't say the same for the floorboards." she joked a little, in an effort to try to ease up the tension in the room.
The two men did not look amused however. "I'll be fine." Lorenna told them. "You don't need to worry about me."
Finally, they both relented. "If you need our help with anything, do not hesitate to call out for us." Lorenna nodded at them in affirmative. With one more look toward the downed man on the cracked floor, the hired guards took their leave then, closing the door firmly behind them.
The woman looked back at Maleth then. "You must excuse them. It is their job to ensure all goes well in this establishment." Looking closer at his troubled features, she asked him the same question as before. "'Are you sure there's nothing you need?"
