Fast, she was almost blindingly fast, but he didn't have time
just then to wonder at it...only to react. With his dagger arm
shoved aside, her body close into his, Mikhail put extra force
into the blow to her side. The armored fist was supposed to send
Amaris reeling away and he could feel her body unnaturally
giving inward from the strike...yet she didn't seem to notice.
Worry blooms in his eyes but doesn't have long to stay there,
she was screaming in his ear and folding him over her knee. The
blow didn't hurt really given his maille, but the metal links
going tight and the placement of her knee does lower his face
towards her. Luckily for Amaris, he'd removed his helm before
they states their dance or the sudden impact of her skull into
his face would have been far worse for her than him. As it was,
pain explodes into his face, as cartoledge pops in his nose and
blood spatters across Amaris' face.
Rather than stagger back a most would, Mikhail holds his right
hand out flat towards Amaris...turns his head aside to sneeze
blood from his filled nostrils and calls "enough, enough...you
are hurt I think." The first two words are emphatic, in a tone
meant to cut across the roar of battle and penetrait the battle
lust he was sure was in her as well.
He was watching her, half expecting to need to catch her if she
found breathing suddenly difficult...fairly certain that he'd
just felt her ribs break. The blood flowing freely down his own
face he's ignoring.

Blinking to clear her vision, she took several step back.
(ruffians can't be trusted, after all) Then his words sunk in.
Hurt? She was hurt? She looked at him, confused. He was
bleeding...
"What? How am I hurt? Where?"
She felt her face for any wounds. Had she split her forehead
when she headbutted him? No, she was fine but he was not fine.
She stepped back to him, intent on stopping the bleeding from
his damaged nose. She had forgotten the pop in her chest until
she lifted her arms towards his face and the cartilage popped
back into place. She winced then grinned
"Ow...found it! You'll have to bend down so I can reach your
nose. And brace yourself, it will be unpleasant."
Repairing the torn cartilage and any fracture would be easy just
uncomfortable for a few minutes. Hers could wait until she or
Gavri'el could repair it.

Physic was not Mikhail's strong suit, but he'd been reaching up
to jerk his nose back into place almost reflexively when Amaris
found her injury. Grimacing he eyes her side suspiciously
"clearly you can breath..." his usually smooth voice comes out
quashed and with a gurgling undertone from the flow of blood.
Deciding that letting the student of the medical arts set his
nose was best, Mikhail squats down so the can reach without
lifting her arms so much. Locking his eyes onto hers, he doesn't
so much as grunt as she seat the nose.
"You really do have the healers touch Amaris" said as he stands
and resists the temptation to wriggle his nose. Instead he
starts chuckling "the state of us, people will wonder what we've
been up too."

"Yes, from the feel of it, I think the bone has broke lose from
the cartilage. And by the look of your nose the same has
happened there."
He knelt and locked his eyes to hers, which was good because
even a blurry cross eyed view of what was about to happen would
have been hard to explain. She smiled and held his eyes as she
gripped the bridge of his nose with one hand and the loose
cartilage with the other. She let her fingers sink into the skin
as she moved the cartilage into place , once seated it was easy
enough to re-attach the two. She pulled her fingers free and
used her thumbs to smooth the skin where her fingers had
entered. It seemed as if she was only checking to be sure it was
seated correctly. Satisfied, she nodded and stepped back so he
could stand again.
"We are a mess, but still, I have the captain of the guard to
walk me home after saving me from ruffians. Unless, of course,
one of the soldiers happened by and witnessed us beating the
snot out of one another."
She stepped back closer to him now. She grinned up at him
"That was fun. Now kiss me."

"You really are an amazing woman..." her apparent disregard for
what he knew must have been an excruciating injury was a
marvel...admittedly it want the first time she'd displayed a
lack of noticing pain.
Rising he grins at her impishness "I'm not yet the captsin and
the only ruffians here Are the soldiers..." still he dips to
kiss her. It wasn't the long, ravenous thing that his kissing
her wanted to become, nor was it particularly chaste.
"Mmm, shall I escort you home then Lady Obterus, perhaps by way
of a basin to wipe off some of this blood...I could find you a
spare cloak to mask your dress if you'd like?" She wasn't
generally shy about her body but he wanted to offer given where
they are.

*with all they were doing they did not notice even for a moment
the shadow that was watching. That changed when a woman stepped
from the shadow which they both suddenly saw. She stood about 5
8 weighing in no more than maybe 100 lbs wet. Her hair
straight black and herskinwas that of midnight. Amaris did not
who this was but what it was . The sight would give her a chill
down her spine. As for Mikhail it was definitely exotic, there
was an aura of death about abut this thing near them*

Ideas of propriety still in the forefront of his mind, Mikhail
instinctively steps towards the exotic woman, just enough to
partially mask Amaris' form somewhat. Blood had gotten into his
mouth and stains his teeth as he smiles, lending what was often
a predatory expression even more savagery than usual. "Good
evening miss...might I help you?" This was not someplace
visitors generally came, not without a Guard to escort
them...and even then it was rare. As such, Mikhail's voice was
polite but had a faint edge to it rather than his usual warmth.
Still, his gaze casually sweeps the woman, whose skin was most
unusually dark even for this city. That she gave off a feeling
akin to a cold battlefield the morning after a
slaughter...wellthat was both vaguely disturbing and highly
curious.

Watching the boogeyman step out of the shadows caused a visceral
reaction, that they had even seen her was a fairly good
indication they were both going to die. Known assassins, no one
had ever lived to tell of an attempt, there was always just a
corpse of some sort. She stepped in front of Mikhail and looked
up at him and with a harsh tone she ordered him away, hoping
that their visitor would take him as a ghoul that was not worth
her time. Despite her voice, her eyes plead with him to comply
without question.
"No Mikhail, you cannot. Please go and get that cloak for me
while I talk with her."
She had expected to die when she turned her eyes from the
Assamite, the fact that she ...that they ...were still alive
frightened her more than death. She put on a brave face, turned
back to the woman and bowed. She spoke to her in Egyptian,
hoping that it was a language she knew.
"What do I owe the honor of a visit from clan Assamite? Of
course I assume it's a simple visit as we are still alive."
If she were here to kill them, it was likely that they would
both die, but she had to try to protect the ones she loves.

Mikhail looks down at Amaris with hid eyes flashing, sudden
anger combined with concern, all rapidly melting into the
background of laughter...admittedly somewhat insane amusement
tinged with blood lust. It was like he was a wolf smelling the
slaughter to come as well as that reek of death hanging around
the newcomer...even though the night air smelled clean.
"Do you know this woman then Lady Obterus?" he saw her fear, it
made him want to unlimber his axe rather than leave her side.
His feeling for her war with something else inside him, the
traces of her vitae lingering, the whispers of loyalty, loyalty
to her written in blood.
Amber gaze flicks to the dark woman and then linger as he speaks
"I'll get it, I won't be long." With that he would start across
the gravel, smirking at the fresh drops of crimson he'd added to
it. There were some spare garments kept in a trunk across the
way, that the Guard could quickly change attire if training left
their garb bloody, chances weren't good that a cloak was left
their at this time of year but maybe one had been left in the
bottom. It would keep him near at hand while putting shadow and
stone between him and the women, if only a little.
The strange language catches his attention as he goes, and he
glances back at it.

* suddenly he could not longer hear a word being sent from them
as the shadow moved closer to Amaris and he could see the going
of steel under the clothes. The woman moved her hand towards her
waist as if to reach and draw something*
