"I knew it..." Hauk moaned.  This guy was going to be trouble.  Luckily, Hauk has had his fair share of run-ins with trouble, so he did have an arsenal of tricks in his pocket.  For example, he was well-versed in the practice of confusing the enemy.  He dispelled the binding on his sword.  There was no direct earth here, so he would be limited in what he could do, and he needed to conserve his power.<br/><br/>"I don't know what your business is with that siren, but you see, I'd really prefer if she were unharmed," Hauk told him, "I also don't want her harming anybody else, so if you're a slaver we're going to have some words."<br/><br/>Hauk went into a sprint.  As he neared Elrin's position, he cast a binding on the man's eyes to his own.  He found great amusement in this particular binding- whoever he cast it on would see through Hauk's eyes, so he couldn't possibly miss watching himself get tackled to the ground.  The brief shock and confusion in it was just enough to accomplish what he needed to.  He dispelled it after vaulting over the lad.<br/><br/>"Sorry for that, mate!  Nothing personal!" he called over his shoulder.  He needed to gain control this situation and fast.
