Sage listened to her exclaim that she was not weak. He almost laughed, did she think that he thought she was weak? Or perhaps she was seeking an end to the silence. Either way the answer was the same... "I wouldn't have thought such a thing." He continued to walk though he sighted something on the horizen. A black dot, it seemed to grow in number soon there were six of them. Riders obviously.
It was a few moments before they were in front of them. They looked at the two traveling companions. The riders carried a variety of weapons, each looked duller then the last... and by far more dangerous. "Give us your valuables... and we will let you keep your lives!"
Sage looked calmly at them. "I'm afraid we don't have much, sir... we're quite poor ourselves." He answered them as if they were not there to rob them, but as if they had asked a request of him as a friend. The leader took some offence to this and drew a knife he flung it with accuracy it landed directly in front of Sage. "Next time I won't miss!"
