The Fanalis woman arches a slim eyebrow at Yakuroro’s remark before giving a short nod of understanding. The feeling of the tiny chimera’s paws on her waist is unexpected and she blinks down in surprise at the young bonehead before a genuine smile of appreciation crosses her face. Akatetsu’s concern with protecting her was touching, seeing as how the halfling was too standoffish and guarded to become this close with someone. That, and the child’s innocence and affection reminded her very much of the younger siblings she used to spend her days caring for. Placing a protective hand atop the smooth bone of Tetsu’s skull, Ayero focuses her attention on Yakuroro and their targets.
She remains silent, sword gripped tightly in hand throughout the short exchange. As the two men begin to make their way towards the carpet, the Fanalis consciously slows her breathing, inhaling deeply as she watches them careful and reestablishes the grip on her weapon. ”Well, aren’t you a fetching young thing? Fetching young things fetch quite a bit of Huang…” One of the men coos as he approaches her, reaching for the whip at his belt. Suppressing a growl through clenched teeth, Ayero shifts her gaze between the two men, trying to figure out how to approach the situation.
“You’re not very bright, are you, love? But I suppose this saves us the trouble of having to fill our quota…” The other man speaks with a grin, cracking his knuckles before slipping a pair of brass knuckles over them. For a moment Ayero’s eyes fall on Yakuroro and “father”. Seeing the opening and wasting no time, Jarahn lunges at the woman with a fist pulled back, ready to strike. Startled by the attack and mentally regretting her slip-up, Ayero is only able Akatetsu away from her before taking a fist to the gut. Cringing from the blow, the Fanalis woman bends slightly from the pain in her stomach before pushing herself into action. Using her now lowered position to her advantage, Ayero shifts her footing and ejects herself from the carpet at her assailant. Gripping her talwar tightly in one hand, she pulls her free arm in front of her chest before digging her elbow into the back of Jarahn’s right elbow, effectively paralyzing the limb. Alarmed and irritated, the man takes a heavy swing at the woman with his mobile arm, only for her to duck narrowly and quickly jam her elbow into his other arm.
Before she even has a moment to breathe, the sound of leather slapping skin resonates through the air as Ben’s whip wraps around the arm she was using to paralyze his partner with. Growling, the Fanalis woman tugs violently at the whip before Ben had a chance to immobilize her any further. As he careens toward her, the halfling side moves to the side and steps as if to move behind him. With her talwar already drawn in her free hand, she digs the blade into Ben’s shoulder and begins to spiral around his body at 20 m/s. Unable to move from the quick and painful assault, the man cries out in pain as Ayero withdraws her blade from the end of the long wound at his hip. Shaking the slackened whip from her wrist as Ben crumples into a bloodied heap, she turns her attention toward Jarahn once more.
