The Wind. The Sea.....And A Woman?

The new arrival had startled Leila, so much so she'd nearly jumped. She saw that he was a dark purple, and quite intimidating looking. She knew what he was, an Akalak, from Riverfall. She'd never met one personally, but she'd heard about them. They were all supposed to be great warriors. Which made her even more worried for Ricky. She'd never seen him fight, nor was she even close to an authority on combat, but two on one would be hard for anyone.

Leila could've run, could've tried to get more Wave Guards, but she didn't. Instead, she felt this desire to protect, to defend. Not to hurt those two, but to just keep Ricky from harm, for he was one she cared for. But she didn't know how. So she did the only thing she could do. She walked forward, and put herself between Ricky and the two strangers. "I'm... I'm sorry for panicking. I... I shouldn't have jumped to such a bold conclusion. Please forgive me, I don't want anyone to get hurt."

Leila had never done anything so dangerous before, and was standing there, fidgeting, clutching one arm with the other. She'd never wanted to run so bad, to just go, but she needed to protect him. She didn't know how to look scary, or intimidating, like these people did, and they didn't even seem to be trying. "No one needs to be hurt, it... it was just a misunderstanding."

Ricky looked a bit surprised at the answer Tla gave when she responded, and felt a bit at a loss at what she had said. "Watchin' the sunset ain't no crime lass, but without proper proof to show the Lord of Council Offices that yer're charged to hunt this criminal down... Ye'd be labelled a murderer, which in turn would end with punishment." He explained in an apologetic tone, sincere eyes deeply focused on the Ephyrian. "If ye carry proof this man murdered yer family, I can help-" A voice happen to cut him off further, as a familiar Akalak stood next to the foreign woman. Khal had taken her side it seems and gave a rhetorical remark upon their previous meeting. 'By Laviku, he's becomin the thorn in my ass.' Ricky thought with a bit of a frown, unsure of what the Akalak's intentions were this time.

Then Leila did the unexpected, something that gave Ricky fear and courage both all at once. Leila stepped before him as though she were protecting him now, even though it fell on his shoudler to protect her. That kind of bravery came across as slightly stupid, but Ricky fell in awe when she did this. She put herself at risk to hopefully disarm the situation at hand, and though Ricky commended her for being so brave he couldn't let her put herself out there. "Leila." He no longer showed any sign of worry, as there were no reasons for this to get out of hand. Not when someone would throw themselves out there like she did, all for the sake of protecting a protector to the city they both lived in.

Ricky came by her side all calm and relaxed, hand free from the hilt of the blade that rested at his side. He had heard Tla's story enough to feel sympathy for her, and Leila's actions resulted in an act to better end this tense encounter. Nothing had gone wrong, and so long as no laws were broken nothing would be wrong. Ricky put his left hand on her right shoulder to bring comfort back to Leila, a gentle grin slightly grew on his face. "Clearly this is bein' over thought, no laws are broken yet. I can say that so long as Zeltivan law remains respected nothing wrong is done." He stated with new found resolve, a bit of admiration grew towards Leila. "Like I said a moment ago, if this murder truly is within' the city, then the guard can help bring 'em to justice." He assured Tla with a glance over to Khal, curious to know what the Akalaks involvement still was in this.
