Ivaylo walked slowly, drew a needle from his jacket, and as he drew it, the glint caught the dim light of the room. Before Fleur and Birawa could give any reaction, Ivaylo had already begun to approach them with lightning speed. They instinctively move to a different side, so Ivaylo must choose his opponent.
As Ivaylo lunged forward, he made a feint towards Fleur, throwing the needle in her direction. Fleur, however, was quick to react, expertly brushing the needle aside easily. Fleur then stooped forward to pick up the needle, only to realize too late that Ivaylo had attached an invisible thread. In one fluid motion, he yanked the thread back, the needle swiftly returning to his hand.
Birawa seized the opening and attacked Ivaylo from the side; with incredibly appropriate timing, he used the needle he just took back to swat Birawa's sword out of the way. At that moment, it was clear that Ivaylo was a force to be reckoned with - a ruthless assassin with unbridled skill and cunning.
