Faelis nodded. "Yeah," he said, commenting on her remark on making decisions. "That's how I usually go about it, just see what happens and go with the flow."
He nodded again at her next statement, but then he tensed, his ears picking up something that no one else in the inn could hear as his gave shot towards the door.
"There'll be trouble. . ." he muttered, and a second later four men entered into the inn. There was an air about them that would make anyone suspicious of them, but they just glanced around the inn. The place was mostly empty, and the leader's eyes fell upon Faelis and Nashya.
Faelis's hands gripped the edge of the table, and something inside of him started ticking as the four men approached.
They pulled up chairs and sat down.
"Now," the leader said to Faelis. "I've had a hard day, so if you and your lady friend would be so kind as to hand over whatever money you have?"
Faelis smiled at the man. "I don't think that is very nice of you," he said calmly. "So why don't you just get the hell out?"
"I don't think so."
Faelis felt the knife at his side before he saw it, and he glanced down at the blade. He chuckled, and when he looked up, he was smiling, and something had snapped in his eyes.
The blade at his side did nothing to stop the elf as his hand shot out, grabbing the other man;s wrist and twisting the knife away from him. He was on his feet in an instant and a dagger had appeared in his hand, seemingly out of nowhere. The blade slicked around, cutting across the man's wrist. He cried out and fell back, clutching his bleeding wrist.
The three other men rushed at the elf, and the first man had a dagger in his leg before he even reached Faelis.
The few other patrons of the inn had by now rushed for the door or to hide behind the bar with the barmaid and the innkeeper.
Faelis ducked under one man's swipe and spun behind him, one of the elf's many daggers cutting through the man's boot and cutting deeply into his ankle, sending him falling to the ground. The leader and the other standing man attacked again, and Faelis kicked out, hitting the leader in the face. By the time he had fallen unconscious, Faelis hand already sliced his dagger across the last man's arm, and then he hit him over the head with the hilt of his dagger.
He spun around, still in the trance he had entered, and his eyes fell on the nearest person, Nashya. He looked for a moment as if he were going to attack her, and took a lurching step forward, but then he stopped, and shook his head as if trying to clear a headache.
Then he blinked, and something fled from his eyes, and he fell to his knees.
