As the attackers lunged forward, Ashon smoothly stepped back, his tailored suit rippling with his movements. With a flick of his wrist, he launched a small purse of coins at the nearest assailant, the bag bursting open upon impact, showering the thief with a cascade of copper.

He spun around gracefully, the large money bag held firmly in his hand like a seasoned duellist wielding a rapier. Ka-ching! The sound of the clunk of coins made as the bag connected with the head of another thug, sending him stumbling backward. The sound of clinking coins filled the air as the bag swung through the melee, each strike precise as he bludgeoned their foe.

Ashon straightened his jacket with a flourish, as he surveyed the surrounding chaos with a critical eye. [colour=FF3131]"Manners maketh a Moila,"[/colour] he declared loudly, the condescending smirk played on his lips as his voice carried above the commotion. With a swift movement, he used the bag to uppercut one of the thugs before bringing it down on the back of his head. [colour=FF3131]"Stay down, [i]Tem’broa[/i],"[/colour] he chided, his tone dripping with disdain. He kicked the thug as he rolled into a puddle, using him as a makeshift bridge to keep his feet dry as he approached his dear wife.

Turning to Seviin with an elegant bow, Ashon extended his hand to hers, his eyes sparkled as he drew her close. [colour=FF3131]"Please, don't cry, my [i]Eluulan[/i],"[/colour] he murmured, pressing a delicate kiss to her fingertips.

[colour=FF3131]"Man servant,"[/colour] he called out as he addressed Xiuyang with a regal air, [colour=FF3131]"Once you have dealt with these ruffians, please ensure the ashes are secure. If you make my dearest raise her voice again, I'll dock your pay."[/colour] He clicked his fingers imperiously, the sound cracked in the air. [colour=FF3131]"You may leave the coin; I will find a new levy to enact."[/colour]

[color=slateblue][i]Having a little too much fun committing to the bit, there. "Man-servant..."[/i][/color] Xiuyang thought irritably. Well, she certainly [i]was[/i] in the process of "dealing with" the ruffians, but seeing as one of her allies had deemed it fit to nearly behead one of them with a bullet, she began drawing to enhance her threat... and prepare for an unnecessarily drawn-out battle that was likely about to happen.

[i]The fight was not much of a fight, but a one-sided affair. Two of the thugs fled the scene whilst two were left, the Eeaiko that was victim to a gun wound, and a Yasoi being held at a sharp point. The other two broke their cover as it was up to the others to cover for them.[/i]

Ashon sauntered over to where Dory and Lunara stood, their captive yasoi bandit held at knife point. With a theatrical flourish, he clapped his hands together and spread them in a welcoming gesture. [colour=FF3131]"Ersandenisers!"[/colour] he exclaimed, gesturing towards the shiny weapons gripped tightly in their hands. [colour=FF3131]"Are these rewards from your trials? Expensive, shiny, toduul. Eager to use such toys. Want to do your good deeds for House points, luuca?"[/colour] He gave a wide mocking smile to the crowd, [colour=FF3131]“Five points each to Hunghorasz!”[/colour]

He reached into his pocket and pulled out two coin purses, pressing one into each of their hands. Then, with a casual pat on the head of the yasoi bandit and a clip around his ear hole, he addressed them once more. [colour=FF3131]"This is my jexoff moila, and he will help me find my Hyc'oilan. Leave this matter to Belle'soi."[/colour] He politely indicated them to run along now.

He clicked his fingers loudly as he summoned his man servant. [colour=FF3131]“He may be suffering from amnesia, we might have to prompt his memory.”[/colour] He dangled a coin purse by his eye, and on the other side, is the imposing skull mask of Xiuyang.

[i]As for the two Ersandenise, that is up to them to decide what they will do.[/i]
