As the soldier extended his hand, reaching for Elric's helmet, the lycan sprung his razor sharp claws behind his back. The moment he had heard the man call out to them, Elric had already decided that peace was not an option, he would kill these men, get himself caught, so they could take him straight to Eira. This plan of moving in disguise was frustrating him, he didn't have the time to play soldier anymore.
Just a few inches more.. the soldier would make contact with Elric and he would lodge his claws into the man's stomach and then quickly slice the throat of the other.
The lycan did not want to kill any Gavarian man, he did not want to stir up any animosity between him and the Gavarian people, especially because he was pursuing their princess. But Elric was not known to be a patient man, and his patience had run out.
