Mirt stumbled forward, caught unawares by the truly shocking little display of prowess by the previously harmless looking merchant girl. His shock could not have been more complete than it was when Mie talked down to him like a disobedient child before releasing him.
Where Anyon was all too ready to leao in for another healthy dose of public abuse to the elderly, planting a light kick to Mirts rump that had the older cleric flat on his face.

For his part, Mirt took it well. The whole situation was ridiculous of course but the facts were clear that his act of a haughty noble had been too much. The other woman had been ready to strike, the intention was all too clear on her face nevermind her posture. Had it come to blows, his disadvantage was obvious. 
To strike an innocent woman would have shamed Alyanas memory irrevocably.

Spitting out a bit of dust, Mirt rose to his knees sputtering as he wiped the dust from his well marvelously long beard, sarcastically muttering about inaubordination.

"When I was a young man, ladies had better sense than to strike their employer!" Anyons barking laughter had her holding both sides. Mirt merely smiled and winked at Elque before returning to his feet. "Truer is, I deserved that. Mie, you have the right of it of course."

Leaning in, Mirt whispered with his hand covering his mouth so only Mie could hear. "If they work for a noble, they might report this to Larchmond. Caution, please."
That done, Mirt merely dusted his robes and returned to his rightful position a step behind Mie, politely smiling. The kick and beard pulling forgotten.
