When one of the boys demanded to know why they wanted to defend an elf, Conlan puffed out his chest, and held his head high. He stepped up next to Alderic.
"No true knight would stand by while an innocent was in trouble." He rolled his fingers, feeling the rocks still in his hand. He would rather not have had fight break out, and he was with Alderic in trying to chase the bullies off, however if they didn't leave, Con hadn't just been drilled in the Knights Code of Angus Delaine, he'd also been taught how to fight by the old Captain of the Denerim Guard himself.
Conlan dropped his rocks and grabbed the staggering kid Alderic had just elbowed. With a shout, he spun sending the boy into an attacker at the edge of the group. Two bullies on the ground and Conlan was already on his way to the nearest one. Four street toughs were nothing compared to the darkspawn he was about to face, and they were nothing compared to the heroes Conlan and Alderic would one day become.
