Alisha comes along

Glancing up and down the street, Hauk was taken unaware by a large crashing sound that suddenly erupted not far behind him.
Turning round, he could see that a man was laying facedown in the gutter, surrounded with pieces of glass and wood. Several feet away, a window belonging to a tavern had been smashed into pieces. When a few more seconds had went by, Hauk being able to hear the ruckus inside the tavern, another man came flying out through the window, landing next to the first one in the gutter.

As Hauk approached the tavern, he could hear the screams and trashes from inside even clearer. Just as he reached back to make sure that his axe was easily accessible, the door to the tavern was flung open, and two figures came barging out of it.

One of them was burly-looking fellow, with a bald head and a barrel-like frame, who was swinging wildly at the black woman who was pushing him backwards; the few hits which he managed to get in seemingly making no noticeable impact on her muscular body.

While the man carried on swinging at her, the black woman, obviously at least a head taller than the man, let go of him and pulled away from him.
The man, his judgement seemingly clouded by **** and anger, charged towards her.
Her body tensing up for a brief moment, the black woman suddenly let loose a vicious roundhouse kick, which caught the man in the face, sending him careening into a pile of trash.

As the woman watched the barrel-shaped man stumble into the trash, a fourth man appeared behind her, quietly approaching her, sporting a mean-looking knife in his right hand.
Not knowing the cause for the fight, Hauk knew for certain that no man with any sense of dignity would try to end a bar brawl by knifing their opponent in the back.
Surging into action, Hauk slid forwards and grabbed hold of the man’s right arm, twisting it outwards, thereby forcing the man to let go of his knife.
The black woman heard the noise behind her, and turned round just in time to see Hauk knock the knifeman out cold with a powerful bash to the face.

As the seconds went by and no one made any effort to attack him, Hauk surmised that there were no other assailants wanting to jump at the woman.
Looking over to give her a proper glance, Hauk quickly came to like what he saw.
Apart from being tall and muscular, she was also strikingly feminine, in a very tangible way; firm thighs, a large, round ass that looked to be just a firm as her thighs, a set of tits that stood firm and round, the kind which would require being a giant if you wanted to grab them in a handful, and a face which was strikingly beautiful.
She was dressed in an outfit which was both extremely sluttish and moderately exclusive at the same time, small quantities of exquisite silk and plenty of jewellery leaving little to the imagination.
On her back, two swords were strapped.
The woman had now been looking at Hauk, and she appeared to like what she was seeing.

As the rest of the people inside the tavern returned to gambling and carousing, the woman spoke to Hauk.
“Thank you for interfering in the fight, even if I would have whipped that knife-toting motherfucker just as good as I whipped his friends. I am Alisha, and you are?”
“I am Hauk, a simple wayfaring barbarian who’s currently interested in finding out what the hell kind of fight he just stepped into.”
Hauk’s reply caused to woman to let out a loud chuckle, baring her white teeth in a wide smile.
“Nothing more than a common bar-brawl. I’ve been spending the early part of the night being bored to **** amongst the finer parts of society, and decided to go out slumming. One of these four fuckwits decided that I wouldn’t mind a little manhandling.”
“I think that you proved him wrong, alright.”
“I believe you’re right.” Alisha replied, and then gave Hauk another appreciative glance, “You’re new in town, eh? Mind tagging along with me for a while, getting to know it?”

Alisha struck Hauk as being ideal for his purposes; a fun-loving woman with plenty of gold and connections among other people with plenty of gold.

“I like the sound of that. Just as long as you know that I’m dead-broke, so you’ll be buying the beer.” Hauk answered her question.
“I’m sure that I can come up with some way in which you can pay me back.” Alisha’s mouth turned into a wolfish grin, her gaze wandering over Hauk’s semi-nude body.
