Using his hunting knife, he cuts a few strips of cloth from Lewit's tunic to use as improvised bandages; hastily stuffing them into the dagger wound. A few ragged breaths later however, it's clear that the giant-kin's fight for life is over as his face goes slack, his breathing ceases and the flow of blood slows to a trickle.Sitting back on the pile of blood-soaked straw, the goblin remains quiet as he stares at this newest carcass in his stable. What to do now? By Tribeland law he had the right to pilfer the body of his fallen gangmate. But this human city wasn't the Tribelands and the dead giant-kin was hardly Maelicent's gangmate. If he wasn't careful the humans might try blaming him for the giant-kin's death, particularly if they found that he'd ransacked the body. Alerting others to the death might draw unwanted attention to the stable. The straw-haired giant-kin twins seemed to be trustworthy and generally helpful, not to mention that they were close at hand. Perhaps alerting them would be prudent. He could then gauge their reaction and judge his next move before news of the death spread. Later he'd seek out the others at the Sniffing Pig as time permitted. Still, first taking stock of the man's posessions was certainly prudent.Having made up his mind Maelicent stands, retrieves his weapons and proceeds to search the giant-kin's body for valuables as well as to take note of Lewit's wounds or any other marks which might prove revelatory. The Gudwulf warrior then makes his way to the Cockatrice's kitchen door to seek out Frane or Vaja.</blockquote>
