All Hands on Deck [Rearing Stallion] (Shiress)

Clearly Sayana’s attempt to show them her strength meant little to them as one revealed his own weapon. Problem with swords though, they weren’t always so quick to draw in close quarters. However, Shiress came in at that moment in attempt to calm things down. She also made a point of telling the Eypharian not to engage in it all.

Sayana pursed her lips. She didn’t like seeing the barmaid take such a weak approach but it had only been a few days ago that she had been scolded by Kevith about using her dagger in the tavern. However, when one man yanked Shiress onto his lap and began groping her chest it had crossed a line. Even as Sayana stepped forwards, she heard a dagger drawn to her left and moments later she had her cobra hilted dagger in her mid right.

“Don’t you dare. She’s not for sale.” The Eypharian spoke coldly as she pointed the blade at his throat with a hand on Shiress to keep her out of harm’s way. But already there was a knight coming up from behind the seated pair and drawing a sword of his own. In Sayana’s moment of distraction, the man got up suddenly and dumped Shiress at his feet. He probably figured the threat from the knight was not worth a further grope of the barmaid’s breasts. But the last thing Sayana expected was to be pulled down by Shiress.

“What in Sylir's name were you thinking?!”

“He shouldn’t have been touching you like that. Not without your permission or a lot of coins from him.” Sayana snapped back. “Now you’ll please…” Sayana tried to get to her feet again but found that Shiress was hanging on to a few of her arms including her mid right that held her dagger. She gave an annoyed slap at the barmaid and tried to shake her off, but decided just to switch the dagger to her high right instead which was free.

“Hey lecher!” Sayana called as she also drew a knife in her left mid. The leader of the group turned around and with two encumbered steps, due to the barmaid, Sayana closed the gap. The Eypharian made a slash at his chest with her dagger quickly followed by an attempt to nick his arm with her knife. He managed to jump back from the first attack but her knife produced a shiny red cut on his forearm.

Sayana smiled with satisfaction but certainly did not see the counter strike come at her. The knight who had drawn the sword earlier, someone who she thought was on her side, slammed his elbow into the side of her head. The blow caught her completely unaware and she crashed into a table as she struggled to catch herself. Her head raged on fire and she could hardly think about why the knight had done what he did. “Sh-Shi…?” Everything seemed to slow down as her vision got hazy. She should probably find a place to sit or lie down… yes. The floor seemed good. Her new friend was there. Surely the knights would make it all right. Her head still seared as she settled on the floor. With a giddy smile she slumped her head against one of the chairs and the world finally went black.

Well -that- escalated quickly

But just as fast, well, almost as fast, as it had escalated, it plunged, ending with the four ruffian's being escorted from the tavern by Syliran Knights, two having been carried.

Shiress didn't know what actually took place, save that their little section of the Stallion erupted in noisy commotion. Her attempts to stand with Sayana were stalled by the sudden bodies around her, engaging each other in shoves, swings, and the occasional, repelling blow of a shield. She had tried again, but was redeposit to the dusty, wooden floor for the last time, by an injured Eypharian. With that, the bartender decided she'd had enough, despite the fact she'd not really had any part of it to begin with. In her mind anyway.

Pulling Sayana along the floor, Shiress settled in a corner, far enough away from the skirmish to seem to be in safe surroundings. There she remained seated a full bell later, an unconscious, multi-armed, dancer for company, her head laying in Shiress' lap, above crisscrossed legs. The tavern was quiet, an odd quiet, considering what had just happened. Kevith had just left, nodding his understanding of Shiress' intentions, as he walked out the door.

She'd stay with the dancer, until she came around. No one knew where the woman lived and there wasn't much anyone could do at Soothing Waters until she came around, anyway.

The headache she'll have when she wakes may, in fact, warrant a visit, but she'd leave that up to Sayana.

Pulling dark tangles from the dancer's face, Shiress swiped the damp cloth across her forehead once again, then, sighing, leaned her head back against the wall.

it's gonna be a long night.. she thought, pulling down the lids of her eyes.
