“You know, I do have to admire you for your poise… And I look forward to the day when that veneer crumbles.”

“What bloody veneer? I am exactly what you see and as I choose to be! As if I would crumble anything? The bloody cheek of mortals these days, Barbas, I should singe her tail!”

     It was rare that the sage could be caught off guard, but somehow, this woman had done just that. Avallac’h froze as she pinned him to the wall, felt the blade bite into his neck. Not deep enough to do any lasting harm, but enough to where he could feel the warmth of his own blood trickle down beneath the collar of his robes.

     Without skipping a beat, he unleashed a wave of force to send her flying backwards, the dagger’s pressure immediately relenting. He pressed a hand to the wound, muttered a few words of healing, and pushed away from the wall before summoning his staff and pointing it at his attacker. 

      “I suspect you have a very good reason for accosting me,” he said in smooth, even tones. “Either that or you are incredibly stupid, but I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.”
