Toughness Equates....?

[Deleted]

He had been standing out here for only a few hours when in truth it felt like days. He nearly growled when his brain wandered over the reason for his being here.

'Mercenaries,' he thought to himself with a visible and audible grimace. He hated them. Pushing himself off the wall, he sauntered over to the door and pushed it open. "Oy!" he called out, glaring about the room.

Sashi was leaning back in a chair near the front of the building, her feet propped up on a beaten, second-hand desk. She had been reading a book and was caught in a casual pose. "Hello," she called out, not bothering to get up but setting her book down. "Welcome to the Mercenary Company. Can I help you?"

[Deleted]

He laughed and looked at her with a cocky grin. "Why yes, wench, you can help me." His cocky grin faded and his face took on a thundery aspect. "You most certainly can, you young wench..." his breath smelled strongly of alcohol.

[tuo]

A man stepped in from the back room with a sword strapped to his waist and wearing some leather armor. "Hey captain, I finished going through those papers from....Uhh...is he causing you any trouble?"

[Kender Bard]

Sashi wrinkled her nose, thinking with some amusement what might happen if she held up a flame in front of his mouth. "I don't believe that I had the words 'whores found here' written anywhere outside this building," she remarked wryly, letting her statement explain to Lukas what was going on.

[Deleted]

"Whores?" he laughed, loud and long. "Who would want to sleep with such a...a un-womanly thing such as you?" He laughed again and then rammed his fist into the desk.

"You mercenaries think that you're so great...." he snorted. "You are nothing but thieves that put a price on human heads..."

[tuo]

Lukas frowns at the man distastefully. "Want me to get him out of your sight captain?"

[Kender Bard]

Sashi flicked her gaze to where the man's fist had pounded on her desk. "You know, if you break it, you're paying for it." Casually she shifted her foot to boot his hand away. "If you have a morality issue with us, go to some church and pray for our souls."

[Deleted]

He grabbed her booted foot by the ankle, and sneered at her. "If I wanted to go visit a priest, wench, I would." He leaned forward and tightened his grip on her ankle. "No I would rather take matters into my own hands!"

With that, he yanked hard on her leg.

[tuo]

Lukas' eyes widened and he put a hand on his sword hilt. "Nobody does that to the captain filthy drunk!"

[Kender Bard]

Sashi grunted as she was jerked into an awkward position, pulled slightly against her desk and yanked lower in her chair. She reacted well, though, bunching up her other foot behind the desk and shoving as hard as she could. "Lukas!" she called out, indicating he could do as he saw fit.

[Deleted]

He let go of her ankle to avoid loosing his balance and turned to face the swordsman, swinging his fist at his gut.

[tuo]

Lukas was taken off guard but luckily the leather armor he wore managed to soften the blow before he moves back and draws his sword and twists it in his grip so if he swings he'd be striking with the flat of the blade. "Unless you want to wake up with more then just a migraine I suggest you leave."
