Ashe was waiting for customers to come. It was a not-so-busy day , barely a few coins in an hour...it was too little. 
As she was polishing a small dagger , she saw a pair of drunken guards moving around. " [color=red] Again drunk. There guys never know when to stop drinking...[/color] " she muttered under her breath. A look of scorn was on her face. She hated when the very men that have to protect the merchants are getting so drunk that they cannot do anything to protect the merchants.

In a moment her silence was broken. A man entered in her stall and made a mess of the stuff. Everything because of the soldiers. 
She took her knife out and stood in front of the man that was thrown into her stall.  She looked at the other guards and quickly withdrew her knife.
 " [color=red] It is just a misunderstanding gentlemen. Just a misunderstanding. This man here *points at Oron* works for me as my personal guard. He thought that I was under attack and responded in that way *points at the unconscious drunk guard*. We are very sorry for this. I will talk with the Guard Captain in the morning and everything will be alright. Ok ? My guard here is very sorry and I'll make sure to not pay him for a month. [/color] "  said to the other guards with the most genuine smile one could see. Her merchant training was showing off.
She saved the man only because he still owes her some coins for wares he broke. She really did need a new bodyguard. Maybe this man was free ? She didn't know but she had to try.  The Guard Captain was a personal friend of her father so it would not be a problem.
