Kassandra watches the bandits, staring for a few more moments before she glances back at the other woman. She has a good seat, and what looks like a decent horse (though Kassandra wishes she had Phobos here).

"I can," she says, and she hears the bandit leader shouting something that is clearly meant to be an insult, though she doesn't recognise all the words he's saying. Kassandra is clearly thinking, but only for a moment.

She may be brave, and she may have brought down a cult, single-handedly swung battles between entire armies, and cleared out bandit camps and forts like they were any other contract, but she does sometimes know how to pick her battles.

Being able to ride away from an encounter is important to escape.

So she runs, while the bandit leader is still shouting at his thugs, and swings herself up onto the horse behind her new companion.

"We should go!"
