Lucius locked eyes with the half-elf girl for a few seconds. It was clear she was not one of the bandits, so he gave her a proposition.
"I'm going to loosen up the pressure and back off. You are going to stay very still and we will both put our weapons away. Deal?"
The girl nodded slowly, so after taking a deep breath, he slowly released the pressure and stepped back out of her and his striking ranges. She came to a standing position and they simultaneously put their weapons back in their respective sheathes, though they also both kept their hands on the blades, just in case.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The girl put up a hand, holding up her index finger. The back of her left hand flashed momentarily and she let out a deep sigh. Suddenly Lucius was able to pick up her breathing and heartbeat, which was not present before.
