Luthor stood and brushed off some of the dust from his tunic.
"I saw no injuries M'Lady.  Your fight was quite confined to this small area.
By the way, I found your magic interesting...it is based on magical symbols
isn't it?  There are no such runes in Shadow Magic, but I suspect that the
two types of magic are very different."

Luthor walked over to where the battle had begun.  There was his cloak, BLACK
as ever.  Without it he felt naked, so he put it once again around his
shoulders.  Its cool softness was welcomed, its comfort was like meeting an old
friend.  As the cloak fell around him, its edges blended into the shadows
of the inn making his outline indistinct.  "Aaaah" he said louder than he
wanted.  His golden skin flushed red for a moment and then he cleared his
throat to speak.

"I am Luthor Anside of Eveningstar.  I am both pleased to meet you and in
your debt M'Lady.  If there is anything you need, I am at your service."
As Luthor made a sweeping bow, he reflected on his words.  Making such a
promise of service was not necessary or even wise when dealing with a
stranger, but he felt he could trust this woman.  She had rushed to his
aid without pause and had placed herself in considerable personal danger.
For that he owed her something.

     Love and Peace and Paying Debts,
              -The Dreamer-
