He hardly seemed threatened by her saying she wasn't going to remove her blade till he did so first. He wasn't going to let a light elf tell him what he had to do that was damn sure. He never moved a inch he was sticking to what he had said if she didn't remove her dagger he wasn't removing his blade from her neck. She needed to hurry up and make up her mind he disliked being this close to the light elf patrol area, he had made the trip this far for a simple scouting request to see if he could find what happened to the last spy they sent out this far.
He kept his eyes focused on her, though he was taking in a few features by this time. She really was a catch that was certain.. though he never expected that she'd pull a stunt like she had. If he made it out of this he might start up a deadly game with this one. Though he didn't give in any hints to what he was thinking about as he kept his ground. Her hair though... what was it the color was strange for a light elf, but something about it was eating at him like he remembered such a color from somewhere. He put the thought aside he didn't need to get distracted it'd give the light elf a advantage if he dropped his guard.
That was a odd thing to say.. to a enemy anyway. He thought as she spoke saying he seemed 'sincere' After the blade had dropped to the ground he quickly pulled the dagger back from her neck and spun it once before it connected with it's holder. Afterwards he held both hands up for a moment to show he wasn't hiding a second dagger before he spoke. "Tsk.. can't believe I'm letting you live" He sort of hissed out before he bothered to get off of her.
He had never been backed into a corner like that even some of the most experienced fighters wouldn't have thought to pull that off with a blade to their throats mere inches from death. He stood a few paces from here making sure that he wasn't giving her enough of a range to draw her bow and fire a shot off. Close range seemed to be her weakness and he was playing into that. Really instead of letting her go he should have killed her, but something in his mind told him not to. That sparing her was the 'right' thing to do... odd time to pick up a conscious.
"where ever you came from.. go back to it the field isn't you place" He said coldly to her, he noticed her eyes.. sure she had killed but her eyes were still kind. She didn't belong here. He heard a few shouts not too far from where they were as his ears dropped back again. Though the girl seemed to get distracted for a moment, he guessed they were light elves. In her moment of distraction he slipped from view and left her there, from the sounds of the shouts they didn't notice he was there... they just saw the girl on the ground probably.
Once he had covered a few miles he stopped and leaned against a tree catching his breath as he stood there. Curious, he thought why would they send a girl who had no real desire to kill? That was odd indeed. If she didn't take his advice and return to her home he might turn this into a little game of cat and mouse. He smirked at the thought, it had been a while when he last tried to enjoy stalking prey, or that's the way he thought of it. Somehow he didn't see her going home, not if she was the archer that was reported to kill without a sound.
The two light elves that had shouted finally got up to Judith as one of them offered to help her up and the other quickly asked what had happened. They wouldn't understand that she didn't strike out at a dark elf so it probably wasn't a good idea to say that.
