Of course they could just kill Genevieve now, far be it from Ajax to not take part in the slaying of a wizard, but that would be rather foolish. She could still, perhaps, provide important information. It was worth a try at the very least. After that, he did not care what happened to her. He'd kill her himself if she proved an annoyance. Ajax's mind, however, was currently occupied with what Isabeau was telling him.

"No, I won't kill you. You speak of war and adventure and powerful foes, and this I can work with", he said as he approached the rubble Isabeau was trying to clear. He took a deep breath, squatted down and his body tensed into iron as he dug his fingers around a large chunk of masonry blocking the way.

The remains of the manor were chucked clear into another, distant pile of refuse with a rumbling crash that could be heard even amidst the rain. "Let it never be said Ajax Diagorides ran from a fight".
