Isabela grinned, "Then you'd best start, hadn't you?" she teased as she pulled a dagger, "We could stage a fight someplace public and you could advertise that way."

"Tempting though the offer might be, I'd rather earn my reputation, though I do appreciate the offer." Alanna made a face. "Though I'm not sure how to go about doing that here. Anyone you know of I could challenge to a friendly duel?" She paused for a moment, gnawing on her lip as she thought. "Perhaps, someone who is good with a sword but that I can still win against," she added with a chuckle.

Isabela laughed and shrugged, "I know a few assassins, but I also don't know your skill level so I couldn't tell you whether or not you'd be able to beat them in a fight."

"How are you with a sword?" Alanna asked.

Isabela grimaced, "I'm alright with a sword, though I prefer my daggers. I can always give it a try though."

"Swords first and then maybe we can see about some other form of dueling?" Alanna suggested, frowning as she thought. She didn't hear the footsteps approaching or notice their new found company until one of them spoke. "Give us whatever you've got that's valuable and I won't have to use this," he said gruffly, pointing something small and metal at the two women. Alanna studied their attackers. There were five of them, none richly dressed. The one who had threatened them appeared to the be the leader, standing in front and looking as menacing as he could. "Isabela?" Alanna asked softly, her hand on the hilt of Lightning. "What is it that he's pointing at us?"

Isabela held out a staying hand, "Don't move," she said quietly, "In his hand is a gun and it fires projectiles far deadlier and faster than any bow and arrow." She slowly maneuvered a throwing knife into her palm, readying to strike.

Alanna cursed and tried to think fast. She could throw a fireball at him, but if it was a quick and dangerous as Isabela said, she wasn't sure she would rid of the danger that quickly. She wasn't altogether certain her armor would protect her from what projectile it launched either. "Only one of you brought a weapon?" she asked, trying to sound more confident than she felt. If only she knew more about this strange place! If she could just get the gun out of his hand...

Isabela grinned smoothly, "You don't have to be so rough with us, handsome," she said eyeing the leader lasciviously, "We might even be willing to give you some things for free..." she teased, hoping Alanna would play along until she could get close enough to the leader to steal his gun... or at least cut off his trigger finger.

Damn it Isabela, Alanna thought. She was good at numerous things, but flirting was definitely not one of them. George used to make fun of her all the time for it. Maybe if she just didn't speak, they wouldn't remember she existed and she could get the gun away somehow. "What about you, sweetheart?" the blond one to the left of the leader asked, nodding to Alanna with a grin that made her sick. "You got anything good to offer?" Alanna grinned, thinking of Lightning. "Oh yes," she promised. "Something very, very good."

Isabela chuckled softly as she slowly approached the leader, "You might need to be a bit gentler with us though," she said with a nod to his gun, "Then we can all have a fun time together."

"Lots of fun," Alanna added with a slow smile at the blond one who seemed to favor her. Like maybe setting you on fire, she thought as he decided to come a little bit closer. Her twirled a lock of her hair around his finger and licked his lips. "This natural, love?" he asked, jerking Alanna closer to him by the strand of hair he'd grabbed. Alanna fought not to scowl, trying to keep up the facade Isabela was much better at. "What did we just say about being gentle?" Alanna asked, trying to keep her tone light and teasing even though she was about to explode with anger. "Some girl's like it rough," he answered, loosening his grip. "I'm a gentle flower," Alanna assured him dryly. "That you are," he agreed, patting her head gently as though she were a dog. Alanna could hardly believe they hadn't already used the gun on them. Isabela was good, sure, but Alanna was barely suppressing her fury. She supposed men just believed what the wanted to believe and none of them could fathom not being so attractive that threatened girls wouldn't throw themselves at them. She wanted to vomit.

Isabela decided to up her game a little, letting her sleeve fall low on her shoulder, exposing more cleavage to their leader, "Come on sweet thing," she murmured huskily, "Let's have a good time," she said as she just got close enough for his gun to be within kicking range.

"Let's have a good time," the blond one echoed, biting his lip and letting his hand take a nice squeeze of Alanna's rump. "Oh by the Goddess I don't have the patience for this!" Alanna announced, deciding her life wasn't worth playing whatever game Isabela had started. "I am the King's Champion, the first Lady Knight ever to be, I have been the Roof of the World, fought a god and lived and I will not be treated as such by the likes of you!" She moved without thinking, her hand pulling her sword out of its sheath and kicking Blondie's knee, effectively shattering his bone in one sold motion. Metal boots made a satisfying sound against breaking bone, Alanna thought, her scalp still stinging from where he'd pulled her hair. She trusted Isabela to have dealt with the gun since it hadn't yet been used against her, but she looked back over, ready to use her gift as soon as she needed.

Isabela kicked the gun out of the man's hand, before punching him hard in the pit of his stomach and knocking the breath from him and forcing him to his knees when she swept his feet out from under him. "Get the gun!" she cried out to Alanna as she distracted the other three, her daggers moving swiftly through them.
