Taalia Giovanni

Taalia's danger senses were tingling quite early into the interaction. The tone of voice, Cestie's initial apprehension, their refusal to heed his warning...

She hadn't survived the slave pits without a finely honed danger antennae and hers was screaming into her ears that something was very, very wrong. Gripping the knotted rope with her gloved hand, Taalia left the blunderbuss affixed to her backpack so that Bella could withdraw it when she followed her up and kept behind her, firing over her shoulder.

Upon reaching the top of that window, Taalia cast her gaze out as she stepped forward silently, sword withdrew with a threatening Schink! and her shield coming about before her and wasted no time - she stabbed at the nearest goon. They were threatening Cestie, they deserved it.
