Pelargir

[Idrial]

(umm...ok? wutever)

Idrial glared at Hador as he spoke to her and stalked away. Slowly, she pushed herself up off the deck and brushed herself off. She stood still for a moment longer as she watched Hador and his guards disappear to somewhere in the large city, then she turned and walked to the bow of the boat. Without a word, she climbed up onto the railing and seated herself there, looking out across the waters, a somber expression on her face.

[Vilik]

Vilik watched as Hador walked away with his companions. Once he was sure the men were gone he sheathed he weapons and turned to where Idrial had been sitting, noticing she was no longer there. He glanced around and saw her at the front of the boat and made his way there. He stood behind her where she sat on the railing and put his hands on her shoulder. "Are you ok?"

[Idrial]

Idrial heard his footsteps as he approached from behind, but she made no move to turn about to face him or acknowledge his presence. As he placed his hands on her shoulders, she rested her chin on her fists, continuing to stare out across the water. "Fine. I'm fine." Was all she said, letting the silence reign again.

[Vilik]

Vilik stood behind her for a few moments, looking down at her. "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have stopped here in Pelagir. Wait here and I'll get things ready so we can get outa here." He let his hands fall from her shoulder as he turned and walked away. He walked to the stern and then hopped up onto the dock. He turned and gave one last glance behind before slipping away into the darkness, heading in the direction the soldiers had taken shortly before.

[Idrial]

Idrial listened as Vilik spoke. She heard his steps as he hopped off the boat and walked into the night. Once he was gone, she pulled her knees to her and buried her face in her hands, letting the tears flow freely down her cheeks as the sobs shook her body. Like this she remained for a few more minutes, but then she lifted her head and brushed away the wetness harshly. She had to compose herself before Vilik returned. No one would see her in such a state.

[Vilik]

Vilik caught up with the soldiers as they walked down the crowded streets, though he kept back a good enough distance so he wouldn't be seen. He kept a sharp eye on the men as he trailed them, waiting for an opportunity when he could confront Hador alone.

[Hador]

The soldiers made their way to a garnison close to the wall. They split before they entered the gate and Hador walked allone to check the patrol in a little house besides the garnisons entry.

[Vilik]

Vilik followed behind Hador, stepping from the shadows and lifting his sword towards the man's neck just before he reached the house he was walking towards. "You ran away before you we finished our game. Thats rude."

[Hador]

Hador heared the steps behind him already before they were close enough to mean trouble, and when they came in reach he spun surround by drawing his sword and hew it with all force into Viliks blade. "Then let me be less rude now." he growled to the words of the man.

[Vilik]

Vilik snarled a the man as their blades met with a clang. "Is that all the strength you have, pig. It's no wonder you've taken to bullying women." Vilik spun his blade to the side, freeing it from Hador's sword. He gave a hard kick at the guard's groin before bringhing his sword back down towards Hador's neck.

[Hador]

Hador didn't care about the kick of Vilik. He was tall and long years at the guardians and in many wars had made him also stout. He stood in his armor like a rock and didn't move an inch from where he was. He grinned a little bit surprised, that his strike (lead by two hands on his heavy longsword) hadn't pinned this guy immediatly to the ground. But he wasn't so much surprised to loose his battle experience. Hador wasn't Captain of the Winged Guard of Gondor for nothing.
In the moment when Vilik kicked him, he wheeld his blade from the side back towards the mid of Viliks chest and from there in an upward turn to block the downward swing of his foe. Again the steel clang together and this time Hador forced Viliks weapon upward, easy like a childs play. With a swift twist the blades were free again and Hador swung his sword in a quick turn towards viliks neck.

[Vilik]

Vilik ducked and spun as Hador swung towards his neck. When his spin was complete he was at Hador's back side and he gave a fast forward jab with his blade, aiming below Hador's armor.

[Hador]

Hador followed the movement of Vilik attentionally and bent his body aside when his foe striked. He turned on his heels, charging within the spin a heavy blow towards the side of Viliks upper chest.

[Vilik]

Vilik brought the hilt of his sword up and parried Hador's blow with his sword pointing down. When the blades clashed together Vilik pulled a dagger from his side and jabbed it at Hador's side, making sure that his sword was still firmly pressed against his opponent's as he did so.

[Hador]

Hador used the firmly clasping of the swords to sweep Viliks feet with his leg. Within the struggling not to fall, the dagger of his foe missed its destination and scratched just over the armor. Hador thrusted his blade hard forward and drove Vilik at distance. "Again your fruit knife?"he growled.
