This time, Tiah’s mouth did drop open. My, my shirt! She frantically reached around and patted her back where there was a slight breeze now. A huge chunk of her clothing fluttered to the ground next to her. Furious, the human turned up- and then dropped to all fours to avoid having her torso chopped off by the giant axe. The weapon tore through the building next to her, showering the area with bits of plaster and brick.

Rustling came from inside the building. “What the hell!?”

I kinda feel sorry for whoever is in there. Tiah literally crawled back from the metallurgist, wanting to put a little more distance between her and that axe. Back at the entrance to the alley, she got to her feet. The elf was smiling wryly at her. He started ambling towards her, swinging his weapon back and forth slightly. The Salvager glared at him, brought up her guns, and started firing off shots as fast as she could. Behind her, she could hear people gasping and a couple of shouts at the sound of gunfire.
