Masako backed off away from the guy stalking toward her and blinked some, her hand going to that short sword of a weapon and eyed him. She wasnâ??t afraid of some untrained idiot like this but if things got hairy, which they did, she didnâ??t want to be close to the range of that sword.  She was surprised by the response to it, anyone else mightâ??ve just gone along with the easy route for getting money without doing any real work. When the guys scattered like deer with a wolf after them, the busty blonde perked a brow at him. â??I suppose youâ??re right, and that was unexpected. For a moment it looked like youâ??d just let them go for it.â? She said. â??It looks like it was certainly enough cash.â? Masako said. â??After all, until we get to Etana Iâ??m still a meager slave.â? She said bitterly.<br/><br/>â??But if what you say about the Seranto guards is true, we should make like leaves in the wind and find somewhere to get that meal you mentioned.â? She said with a helpless shrug. â??If they come and find a deadman theyâ??re going to question both of us first if weâ??re still here and I doubt thatâ??d be pleasant would it?â?
