*Circine flicked his sword to rid it of the flecks of steel, sheathing it slowly and narrowing his eyes at Calico.*
"Not a problem. What *Is* A problem is this one using us as living shields. If either of us had died, I could've had you for manslaughter!"
*He snapped at her, his front legs rearing up slightly as his anger bubbled.*
David
*The woman shook her head tsk tsk'ing. She had stopped well out of easy swinging distance of either of them, just in case. Some people could be quite ungrateful when saved from bandit ambush.*

"Living shields? You undervalue your shining contribution in keeping the enemy engaged to enable a flanking maneuver. And besides, if I hadn't hit their ambush first and helpfully warned you, their first shot may have found your throat. But my grace and humility is matched only by my good looks so I'll not ask for any thanks."

*She turned to the summoner, mildly interested in the horse summoning and the contents of his cart.*

"Most folks call me Calico. Just don't believe any unfortunate Salvanian rumors associated with the name, it was all taken vastly out of context."

*She offered a gloved hand for him to shake, which gave a better look at the sleeve tattoos on her arms, stylized clouds in a distinct Siui art style.*
Jennifer
*After hooking the horse back up to the harness, Victor shoulders his work bag and... Walks right past Calico to the centaur, nodding.* "Still, thank you for the assistance. While I could afford to lose the cart, and horses obviously, it would have been quite annoying to deal with walking all the way back home."

Then he paused as if perhaps having just noticed Calico again, taking in her looks briefly. "Well then, Calico. I will be sure to remember you, if you should ever wind up at my clinic."
