She seemed pissed, a natural reaction to being ambushed like that. It didn't escape his notice the way she balled up her fists, ready to smack him if the opportunity presented itself. Not that he would ever give her that chance. He didn't imagine her lithe frame could summon up that much strength, but as a magus, he knew appearances were deceiving.
"Look, I'm sorry it had to come to this, but what would you have done in my position?" he asked, keeping track of her movements like a hawk. Archer took serious pride in his eyesight and reflexes, two key components as a bowman. "I'm going to lower my sword now as a gesture of good faith, but only if you promise not to try anything."
Retaliation was a serious possibility, which is why he needed to convince her that alienating the first person she came across wasn't a good idea. Pointing out some additional facts to her might help. "You're obviously new here, and it wouldn't be a good idea to go charging into the night unprepared. I think a civil conversation would do us both some good."
