The exchange between them and the innkeeper was venomous, the man had clearly said something intended to be offensive towards him, though Théadan had no idea what it was. Navia was quick to retort, saying something in the stinging tone he had heard her use a few times previously when she felt something was unjust, and she was angry about it. The innkeeper did not try to prevent their passing however, they were able to move on with Navia only cautioning that it was best they leave and collect their horses soon. At the foot of the stairs however, that plan had a setback as they found themselves with not just a couple Khluri waiting for them, but many, and most of whom looked like they had spent the night drinking to stoke their anger further. One of them even went and stood on a table to be seen among everyone as he announced something that had them all laughing. It was not something Théadan cared about however, like Navia he was heading for the exit wanting to be swiftly gone from this place and the foul atmosphere that had descended upon it.<br/><br/>Men moved to block the exit, trapping them inside and making Théadan scowl as once again people seemed intent on trying to harm them. The one on the table surprisingly spoke in common, drawing Théadan's attention as he spoke to Navia. She of course wasn't having any of it, and was not rising to the bait any further than necessary, insistent that they merely wished to leave and not return to this town. The man had other ideas however, he walked to the edge of the table, and briefly Théadan had to resist the sudden urge to kick the table out from under him, it would surely kick off a brawl after all. Instead the man shouted at Navia in part seemingly blaming her for him being here.<br/><br/>A finger pointed at Théadan, and he announced to the other men in common that they bring her to him and take whatever revenge they desired out on him so long as it was painful. Despicable as his words were, they did make one thing clear to Théadan, he and these other Khluri would be able to understand him. They were approaching, wary to see what he would do, but there were far too many of them for Théadan to fight them all, though he was sure he could leave some of them questioning if their desire for revenge was worth it. Théadan's priorities were to Navia and their child however, so he placed himself between Navia and the advancing men to shield her as best he could. "So you do speak common." He said lowly, taking a stance should any of them try to attack him. "At least I can make myself perfectly clear then. I swore never to kill again now the war is done, and we desire nothing more than to pass through peacefully without disturbance." He was honest, though it was unlikely any of these people would care in the slightest for anything he had vowed to do, nor would they believe he had no bad intentions towards them and their city.<br/><br/>He could see the hate in their eyes, so Théadan got to the point of addressing them as he stood defiantly between them and his lover. "But understand anyone who touches her will not be leaving this place without the offending hand being broken!" The man on the table looked annoyed for just a moment, but then his expression turned to one of smugness, and he said something in Khluri that Théadan could only assume encouraged the others to attack him. The first man reached for him, clumsy and slow, Théadan had him tumbling over into a table, only for the second to reach for him, which Théadan quickly sent in the opposite direction with an elbow to the stomach winding him. The third got a hold of his arm, but Théadan wrenched himself free. The fourth was there quickly to step in and grab both his arms though, seemingly giving the third a free shot. Théadan was quicker with his feet, kicking out at the mans chest sending him in clattering into the man he had elbowed, and him, and the man holding him tumbling into the first man, upending a table in the process as they all fell to the floor in a heap.
