Instinctively, Fish pulls the Javal reaches into his pocket. A bolt catches each sid of his sleeve[1] jerking his hand back and causing the coins to just clatter on the ground beside him. There's a soft whirr from the crossbow as it reloads itself, still ready to fire again if need be.
"Fish works alone." They sign once more, unable to speak or say anything and unwilling to put down their weapon sign language was the only method of communication they had. "Fish has what Fish needs."

Javal was extremely surprised when a young aviankin fellow with the crossbow shot him as he reached for his pocket to pay the young fellow. Javal pauses and is about to signal to Nadia to help him get the bolts off his sleeve before noticing Nadia nodding and paying attention to Fish.
She knew sign language decently enough not enough to be a master but enough to understand what Fish was saying. She had been taught many languages growing up, sign language being one of them, she was expected to rise to her noble father’s level one day.
She knew some sign language. Being a noble’s child she was expecting to learn many things, sign language being one of them.
She yells over to her liege, “The child says that they work alone and they have what they need”.
Javal says, “Oh okay then there little buddy don’t let me stop you no need for more violence I’ll just stay here in the same position relaxing. Maybe someday we can get to know each other under much less mimicry involving means. I appreciate your help today. Feel free to take the solars on the floor".
Javal then just stood there still having the bolts in his sleeves.
Nadia signs back to Fish explaining what Javal had just said.

"Fish is not deaf, mute." They narrow their eyes at Nadia, even if deep in the back of their mind they know she is trying to help the bird is in full retreat mode and extra defensive.
What happens next happens in a flash, literally. The aviankin reaches into a pouch and quickly smashes a glistening flask on the ground. A bright light envelops the room blinding the fellblood and his companions.[1]
By the time their vision clears, the aviankin is gone and so are the solars. Fish skittered back up the stair case, footsteps silent[2] as they disappear into the night.

Nadia’s face turns from subtle pride and joy that her horrible stuck-up noble father’s strict efforts of teaching paid off to quick embarrassment as Fish spoke explaining.
She was about to apologize for her rude behavior before suddenly the room is filled with a blinding light. Nadia quickly covers her eyes shielding her from the blinding effects but her liege Javal does not and remains blinded for a few minutes.
“Hello there is anybody there it appears I cannot see”, Javal shouts as he recovers from the blindness.
He then turns to look over the room whoever this Fish fellow was they were gone and to the wind.
He sighs, “Darn and here I thought that I would make another friend, well I hope we might again in the future”.
The crew walks out of the noble’s estate and waits around before the cowardly noble returns relieved and pays the group for their trouble.
The group sets out to find the nearest tavern to celebrate their mission’s success, as the others celebrate Javal thinks about that Fish fellow hoping they might again someday.
