Austin glanced over to the shadows,green eyes narrowing and blades swinging up defensively as he looked for the cause of all the noise. His eyes fell on the wiggling and squirming figure of a girl. Sufficiently tied up she was on no threat to him. He sheathed his daggers and rubbed the back of his neck as he slowly walked towards the shadows.<strong>"I didn't see you there, I apologize. They put you in the darkest of shadows huh?"</strong>He kneeled down, looking her over for anything that might signify she should be left tied up in the cave. Boss always had rivals and if she belonged to them then there wasn't much he could do. Perhaps slit her throat instead of leave her. It'd be a kinder fate.<br/><br/>Seeing nothing he looked back to her face and smiled.<strong>"Here, let me untie you, ma'am."</strong>He reached over gingerly and began to untie the ropes.<strong>"I hope Boyce and his thugs didn't hurt you too badly."</strong>
