The guards had kept a watchful eye on the group as they spoke with one another a short moment, before Naori's shove sent the lone man in their group down on his ass on the ground, the shove seeming to draw the guards attention. One of them held his place at the gates, actually pushing them shut while watching the woman throwing her companion on the ground, three others drawing their blades, jagged, dark steel with bone-made handles. The blades were long enough to serve as longswords, yet looked jagged at their edges, definitely not swords for fencing, but rather for cleaving people apart or rending wounds into them with harsh slashes.<br/><br/><strong>"Up!"</strong>The first among them shouted, kicking the downed man's shoulder violently, the bare foot hitting with sharp nails scratching to Piro's skin but not piercing through with just that much effort. There was clear growl on the other three though, who had moved to the sides, keeping watch on the the three women rather than the downed man. They didn't seem to be willing to let a distraction keep them from reacting to a possible threat from them, chained or not there was no trust from the guards towards the captives.<br/><br/>It was only when Aneesha stepped back closer that the guards relaxed, somewhat, though still keeping careful watch over the group, the Erinyes' expression showing a raised brow as she cast a look at Naori.<strong>"My guards are perfectly aware that you aren't to be killed or broken unless you attempt to escape or try anything else monumentally stupid. That doesn't mean they wouldn't beat you within an inch of your life for causing trouble if necessary to learn a lesson."</strong>She cast a look at Piro, a faint smirk playing on her lips for a moment then. Seeming to find some amusement at the situation, she spoke in a casual tone of voice then.<br/><br/><strong>"I hope this is not an indication of just how well you'll work together later, because if it is, I'll have to see which one of you is more promising and get rid of the other. If you two got a problem, you can settle it when you're not working, whether it is by knocking each others teeth out, fucking till you're both raw and sore, or trying to kill each other. Just remember that I own you and will hold a killer further indebted to me in such a case. Inheriting the dead one's debts."</strong>She smirked slightly coldly, but there was no teasing nor lies in her words, her gaze shifting from one person to another made it clear she meant all that she said.<br/><br/><strong>"Now, what you will be getting are not finest pieces of work here but enough for fighting an Imp, no matter how bloated his ego is. Beyond that, I will hear what you'd consider you need the most, two pieces of gear magical or not. Some potions may be at hand, but if you think you can argue for a fiend-bane weapon you will find my humor has its limits."</strong>Her tone serious, she crossed her arms, seeming intent to finish her business with them now that she'd seen how they acted when left alone.<br/><br/><strong>"Speak, and I'll see what I consider fair trade for your efforts, I want you out of here in an hour and on your way. So I expect you to have made up your minds if you have the time to throw one another to the ground."</strong>
