The lanky man watched the Elder slowly approach, released the man with the flat cap he had pinned, and suddenly leapt up, charging at the Elder.
The flat cap man stared wide-eyed at the scene, unable to comprehend why the lanky man still had the courage to attack the Elder at this moment.
But he got up, signaling a thumbs up to the back of the lanky man.
Then he watched as the lanky man, just before reaching the Elder, slid to his knees, skidding several meters forward, stopping before the Elder, "Master Hawke, I surrender, I surrender! I'll do whatever you say!"
¿
The flat cap man stared blankly at the scene, momentarily forgetting to run.
The Elder passed by the lanky man, expression unchanged, merely reaching out to gently pat the lanky man's shoulder.
The lanky man seemed to relax instantly, lowering his hands.
The Elder passed him by and walked towards the flat cap man.
