♞ - “ Fin. “ he says in response to Inshel’s quick introduction. Her name is odd, it complements a personality such as hers. A mysterious figure, he still wouldn’t keep his guard down entirely around this girl. As the two continued to walk through the woods, Fin had gotten this feeling that someone- somebody might be here.
All of a sudden, there was an extra pair of footsteps, which caused Fin to turn around as quick as he can. A bandit had an axe raised to harm the witch! With a swift thrust, the lance Fin had in hand punctured through the bandit’s chest effortlessly.
“ HYAH! “ he shouts as he attacked the other. The bandit shouts in pain as he collapses, the lance no longer through his chest. Fin could only stare grimly at the dying bandit before redirecting his attention towards Inshel.
Turned back to continue the conversation, to thank him for sharing his name, Inshel squeaks slightly, eyes wide as the flurry of movement occurs just a few steps behind her.
Yet she doesn’t flinch, only barely responds to the violence with a sharp flare of her markings. Her expression falls from it’s usual pleasantness into cold neutrality.
“Ah. I’m quite fine, thank you. Careless of me not to notice. I’m glad you caught wind of him in time, Fin. I’m in your debt. Give me just a moment.”
Careful steps carry her over to the dying man, who gurgles some insult weakly. Kneeling beside him, hands hover over the hole in his chest. Blue sparks race up her arms, as she murmurs,
“Hush.” Something black and murky creeps out of the man’s chest, into her palms, settling into the markings that adorn her fingers. He makes another sound, and the life fades from his eyes. Inshel closes his eyelids, then rises.
“We may go now. The woods will take his body back.”
There is a pause, and she turns back to her usual sunny disposition.
“I appreciate your save. My hero!”
