"And just who are you to say this was a murder on her behalf?"

Arthera stood to her full height, unintimidated by the man and his accompaniment of guards, her hands tightening into fists. She was tired of hearing that word uttered by people who had no grasp of it. Regular mortals were more ignorant and ill informed than she remembered; perhaps being awoken to the realities of life and the world were as much a burden as they were a boon, at least in this damned quarter. The very same people she shed blood for, at least half this lot, were moping about as if they had committed some atrocity, rather than being thankful the rest of them had been willing to stand and wager their own lives, how distastefully typical and mundane. If anything it only fueled her coming rebuke.

"These men," The primalist pointed directly to the goliath's bloody heap, motioning specifically toward his javelins, then to the ground where his attempted kill of the bard was made and had so fortunately failed, "Attempted to kill this woman."

Her attention shifted and direction to the newcomer, but not before she continued whilst lowering her arm and letting her robe return to rest, "But not before we attempted to dissuade them with the very ice your men have introduced themselves to."

"So who is to say this is not an attempted murder and that the 'guilty' are not the victims?"

The woman had clearly had enough of this nonsense and was unhinged in perhaps the most logical and direct ways possible. There was no end to interruptions. How difficult was it to get from one side of town to the other unaccosted? This cesspool of civilization was perhaps more trouble than it was worth. Why again were they so adamantly fighting to preserve it? Granted the corruption of the outside world beyond it was inexcusable, but this? [i]This[/i] is what they were trying to protect? One moment they are doing as asked, then the next - some great, grand catastrophe, only to be harassed by glorified servants in fancy armor.
