Julan gave a nervous look around at the others. He did not actually want to fight a stranger in a foreign village, mostly out of fear of accidentally hurting someone, or doing something else to get himself in trouble. Keeping to himself seemed like a good way to be safe, though he was at least glad that they had quickly moved on from the topic of marriage. [i]"I, um, don't know if I should be fighting anyone."[/i] Julan replied, looking away. 

Almost on cue, the boy chimed in quickly with his unwanted remarks. [i]"Like I said, softskin-raised like you wouldn't stand a chance anyway."[/i] 

The violet-scaled girl finally broke her attention away from Janius and Julan to look at the tan boy. [i]"Well, Vaarkai, if you really think that, then why don't you spar with him?"[/i]

Finally, the boy had nothing to say, at least for a few moments. Although he was slightly taller than Julan, it was plainly obvious to anyone who could just look at the two of them that Julan was much stronger. In fact, it was obvious that none of the other young Argonians present could match him. The boy, Vaarkai, had evidently not thought far enough ahead to avoid having to back up his goading in any convincing fashion. [i]"I...well there's no point in me fighting him. It would be a waste of my time. It would just be too easy."[/i] 

The girl stood up and approached Vaarkai, leaning in with a grin. [i]"Oh really? Well I think you're just afraid of losing to an outsider."[/i]

[i]"I...just...shut up, Leeus!"[/i] Vaarkai shouted, shooting up from the log he was sitting on and shoving the girl, knocking her flat on her tail.

Ahnasha held firm with the confidence in her voice. "Rhazii, I selected our targets well, you don't have to worry. You can trust me, those [i]specific[/i] people we just killed did deserve it. They were bandits, and I am certain of it. Hunting someone down was the only way to give you the experience you needed, but it is not as if that is something we do normally. We don't hunt people just because we can; we're not ferals. The only people we hunt are the servants of Vile, and you don't have a problem killing them, do you?"
