Andre Marek
You can run, but you'll only die tired...
Despite being outnumbered by the Forsworn warriors the fight was over quickly, with the group making short work of the poorly equipped attackers. By the time Marek had thrown his sword, killing one of the warriors and injuring another, the others had engaged the remaining attackers. Only a single enemy opposed him by then. The warrior seemed to understand that the attack had failed but he didn't flee as Marek thought he might. Instead the man charged him screaming and waving a long handled battleaxe. Timing it perfectly, Marek stepped back just far enough for the mans swing to overshoot him, coming close enough that Marek felt the tip of the blade scrape across his chest. The moment the blade was past him he stepped forward and brought his arm down on the haft of the axe in a sweeping movement that allowed him to get a grip of the handle. With a firm grip of the weapon, Marek pulled the warrior towards himself and rammed his left fist into the mans face, causing it to snap backwards and sending the man to the ground. Cupping his face in one hand, the warrior gave Marek a terrified look but before he could scramble away, Marek brought his foot down on the mans neck, killing him.
With the final warrior dead, Marek turned his gaze towards the others, his eyes settling on the Khajiit woman who was walking towards with his own sword gripped in her hand. He glanced behind her and spotted several corpses lying on the ground behind her. Marek wasn't surprised. He accepted his sword from her but didn't sheath the weapon. He was wary of more Forsworn being in the area not to mention the Khajiit woman. Besides a small splash of crimson on the fur of one of her legs, she seemed untouched, which was impressive in and of itself considering she hadn't had any weapons at the the beginning of the fight.
With the fight over now, everyone went about making sure the warriors were indeed dead before getting underway once again. Marek watched as the Khajiit woman walked over to the ranger and, without asking, used his cloak to wipe the blood off of her leg. He smirked as she turned away from the man with hardly a glance and made her way towards himself.
"I don't think I ever got your name." She said, raising an eyebrow at him. He gave her a nod of the head at her question, "I don't think I ever offered it. But since you ask, feel free to call me Marek." As they followed the ranger and the others out of the narrow ravine, he glanced aver at her, "And what do I call you?" He said slowly. He knew that she probably understood that he was suspicious of her but so far he hadn't come to any meaningful conclusion about her. Hopefully he would be able to glean some information about her through conversation.
