Draven couldn't remember the last time he'd been in a street brawl. His sword and shield coupled with his height made him an intimidating figure, and regular street thugs often hesitated to cause any trouble around him. However, that afternoon found the fighter not only without his weapons but also without armor--who knew that a quick walk would have lead to this?

Still, even if the ex-soldier preferred fighting with weapons, his hand-to-hand combat skills were nothing to sneeze at. Grappling was something Draven never really mastered, but his brute strength more than made up for it. Looking up from where he had a man pinned to the ground, Draven smiled just as his opponent passed out.

"Uh...yeah," he answered as he got back to his feet, dusting his trousers with one hand. He had the other placed on his hip, but not in a threatening way. Draven's body language was friendly and open, although there was a worried crease in between his eyebrows as he looked towards the direction the rest of the group had ran off to.

"What was that about? Are you OK?"

Cade looked at the fleeing men for a few more seconds before finally turning to Draven. He was a little surprised that the brawl had lasted long enough for other people to actually get swept in.

"They were trying to rob that shop," he answered, tilting his head to indicate the shabby-looking establishment not too far behind them. "I'd asked them to step out before they end up damaging the goods, but, eh, someone started throwing punches. You know how that goes. You alright?"

It wasn't hard for him to tell that Draven was military, or at least had a military background. It was clear in the way he carried himself - and it was exactly the sort of vibe that Cade himself had, and had been working on to conceal.
