Selia was much more wary than Sergius was, and approached cautiously. There was some ten meters between where the figure lay and Barker Lane. She ran through what she had read in the elder magic tome earlier in the day and the incantations were coming to her, but she hadn't much tested these spells out. In any case, Selia had a knife at her side and she hoped it would suffice.
The figure lying in the road appeared to be a middle-aged man wearing stained dark blue robes, a hood drawn over his face. The hilt of a long knife could be seen protruding from his chest, the amount of visible blood indicating that the user was perhaps not a professional killer. At one side were a pair of books, one of which was opened, as if he had been reading it.
As Sergius's wisp began to illuminate the alleyway, no signs could be seen of the two men that had ducked away, but Selia kept her eyes open. Once they passed the building the men had ducked behind, they revealed themselves.
Both of the men looked out of place in this environment. They were rugged, hairy, and dirty, but both men sported gear that seemed suited for survival in the wilderness. Neither of them were much taller than Selia, but they were well-built.
"Put out the light and step away from the body, nothing over here concerns you." one of the men said with a heavy Lycian accent. The second man looked down the alley and shouted down it, as if it was directed at someone else. "Minor problem here... we'll sort it out!" Again, a heavy Lycian accent.
The two men looked at Sergius impatiently, clearly seeing him as more dangerous than the smaller, but still wiery Selia.
