For Mariane was her niece, a bold yet serene, beautiful, smart girl with good character. And the man was Augusto, Mariane's fiancé, so there was no chance it could be another girl!<br/><br/>She closed fast enough to see Kalaj patting the man on the back, and hear his words.<br/>"I'm not up to dealing with people at the moment, I believe you would be better suited for easing him."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg3778035#msg3778035">Quote from: Leorobin on 15-10-2010, 21:46:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Kalaj rolled his eyes and released the man's tunic as he began crying. "Crying will not help, you will have time to mourn her once the culprit has been caught. Is there anything helpful that you can tell us." He was not the type to meddle in such affairs but he had been introduced as a manhunter and it would be odd if he didn't attempted to help out at this, more so since the one that had been killed was one of the Sarista. Again, Kalaj's mood was not the best at the moment so he gave the man a pat on the back and glanced at the Certament. "I'm not up to dealing with people at the moment, I believe you would be better suited for easing him."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The duellist looked in Kalaj's eyes and for the first time, he looked astonished.<br/>"What makes you so sure the man killed her? Sure, I would<em>ease</em>him", he tapped the hilt of his slender Zandir sword, "if you could persuade me of his guilt. And even then, it's usually up to the local elders to determine his punishment. And if you can't prove it, no offence intended, but I'd rather look at her body, and search for the real killer, than<em>ease</em>the first boy I meet!"<br/>The word "ease" was pronounced both times with a different accent, sounding more like the local Zandirs, almost as if he was using a different language for it.
