She flinched at the harsh blare coming from ahead of her, hands still rubbing across her face in an effort to right her vision from the fall. Her left hand lowers to the underside of her tunic, unhooking a small painting knife from her tool belt and she shifts towards the light slowly, keeping her hand hidden at her side for the time being. She spits the dirt from her face once more and holds up the other hand for them to see she is unarmed.
"My apologies, sir. It was not my intention to fall here. Pray listen and stay your blade. I bear no ill intent." She slowly comes to her feet and begins to brush herself off, the tool still hidden along her palm. Her tunic is tugged down with a sigh as she notes the dull stains and scuffs in the fire's glow. "I simply lost my way in my avidity."
She takes a single step forward and displays her hands once more, the blade of her tool tucked away within the cuff of her sleeve.
