Kira chuckling drew Thane's attention.
Kira:
"You didn't go too deeply into the poorer quarters of Luskan did you? There were lots of women there who know how to use a knife or sword."
Thane cocked his head like a dog would upon hearing a strange sound. He wiped his mouth with sleeve of his shirt.
"Nope, didn't have the time or opportunity," he replied with the hint of a frown.
"You see, my life since I was little more than haunch-high to an ox was soldiering." Thane glanced at Dalgura, curious if she remembered much of his life story, told to her in his formerly garbled Dwarven.
"Luskan soldiers, the real ones, not them so-called soldiers of the individual ship's Captains, are taken in at a young age and apprenticed. It's not easy and there's not much time for aught but learning the ways of armor, weapon, shield, and team tactics."
He considered Kira for a moment and his visage softened.
"But I get your meaning. I know how rough the streets can be. I fought my share of self-taught thugs while in service to Luskan. Not a one of them was good at team work, and almost all of them were men. Maybe the women had more sense than to tangle with the guard or were just better at not getting caught? Either way, you both have skill, more than I thought at first, and I admire you for it. I think we make a good team."
Thane settled back to relax a moment and take in the other goings-on in the room. His face soured when he overheard the talk of Luskans being involved in another protection racket. He sighed and shook his head, then leaned forward to brace himself on his elbows.
"You hear that?" he asked Kira and Dal in a low voice.
"Could it be the same ones that fled Bryn Shander?"
