Evie was surprised when he stepped in front of her to block her path. She crossed her dirty and scratched arms in front of her and tapped her foot in annoyance. "I'm getting as far away from this place as possible, and if you want your family jewels intact," she wasn't nearly as shy as he might have expected as her eyes trailed down to a certain area. "You won't stand in my way." She finished the threat. Evie was tired of people dictating her life. She wasn't about to let this peasant decide if she was going home.
They were standing with only about a foot of space between them. He was tall, and broad in the shoulders. Even though it was dark she could make the outline of his face to be one considered handsome. He also seemed to have more smarts about him than the bandits did. She realized it was going to be more difficult to try and elude him than four bandits, and she had done a terrible job with them.
She mulled his words over before relaxing. A rather sweet look came upon her face. She reached out and touched his bicep making a mental note that he was decently strong.
"We'll do it the easy way, it's clear I'm no match for you." She pouted as she touched his other arm. "But only if you'll grant one request. You see, my poor pony was left behind and I'm so afraid to leave him here in the dark. If you take me home, I don't think he'll know how to make it home on his own." Her voice was full of innocence as she had trailed her finger down his bare arm. "Please, then it's the easy way." The pout was back.
Evie knew she wasn't a match for this man, but she also knew this man was no match for Goliath. If she could get to her warhorse then she'd be able to get away. Goliath was fiercely protective and had several commands that would come in useful.
