Snippet #1870

Alan's sword was out in a flash as the bard walked out onto the street, The thin blade shone in the moonlight as Alan held the long thin sword in his right hand, Many people had asked him how he could conceal such a weapon without anyone seeing it in his clothes, He never told anyone because in truth it was just something he did he was a master of concealment and it was simple things like walking with a lean that could hide somethings from the size of a pin to the size of a sword.

Alan walked slowly up out of the shadows to put himself between Leo and the bard as would his job be if he was who he now said he was, Alan's gaze flickered over the bard weighting him up as a knight or other person trusted enough to guard a princess would, Alan gave a small cough as Leo finished his speech "Bard I suggest you move" he said with a voice designed to not carry his accent but allowing the posh manner of a noble to fill his voice instead.
