[b][color=f7941d]"Eeeeeh? Why not?"[/color][/b]

Not meeting her eyes, simply continuing to walk forward, Elrend decided that not telling her the reason would be for everyones best interest. Joy, as she had finally stated was her name, was a young lady on the road to adulthood and by gods above and below today would not be the day she learned about intimacy between a man and another mans wife.. Maybe some other time.

[color=00a99d]"Suffice to say, I am unwelcome. Lets just-"[/color]

Joys shout of surprise hadn't exactly caught him unawares but it did play on his paranoia a great deal. People in his line of work suffered harsh and often violent criticism so reacting to sudden and unexpected moments was part of his being now, ground into his every nerve through unfortunate incident after unfortunate incident..
His right hand went out lightning quick, a flick of the wrist had the metal poll extended fully, as he performed a fencers thrust at whatever had caused Joy to shout. The metal pole cracked lightly but firmly on the offending hand of some stranger idly grabbing her tail. Still in the fencers stance, metal pole out threateningly, Elrend grabbed Joy by the shoulder and moved her so that he was between her and the newcomer.

[color=00a99d]"Now you keep those pesky hands off of her or so help me." [/color]

With Joy behind him now, his left hand hovered over the blinding powder nonchalantly. Thieves didn't like sharing.
