Bharak paused mid-swing. It was tiring to stay in the zone, and pausing in a fight made it even more taxing. But the others? They suddenly wanted to talk, and he wasn't about to ruin their efforts by mindlessly killing.
Hearing Elena's and Axton's offer, Elathras realizes Bharak is restraining. He steps back, dropping the blade of his Guisarme even with the cat-girls chest. He ss not adverse to letting a sentient humanoid live, it just usually didn't work out that way. Holding the blade steady, he determines to strike her down if she did anything other than surrender.
