You run through the city streets back towards your employer's building. You do manage to attract some attention, thanks to your bloodied state and state of partial undress. Staying on the side streets is possible, but in your route to the fight you passed a little off the normal routes you usually take, and the city is just full of people.
When you get there, you find the door barred, and have to knock to ask for entrance. They open the door, and you see your employer and three normal guards all lined up in the front room. They look at you with a bit of shock, whereupon you proceed to tell them about how you killed the assassin. There's a bit of incredulity, but your wound, the assassin's weapon, and the purse you recovered speak for you.
She doesn't have someone skilled in medicine on site, but you are moved into another room where she sends someone else to get a healer for you. Over the course of the next few hours, you are treated and questioned about the attacker, and have your wound cleaned and stitched up. It should heal with no issues in the next week or so, but for this week you'll have a bit of a slight limp, as you have to ease your way around your painful leg. It works, but you simply aren't at full strength.
As you are recovering in what looks to be an empty guestroom, given the bed and the empty desk, and the slightly elderly furnishing and decorations, you get to have a close conversation with your employer; You find out that she'll offer you a bonus of a months wages, 8 silver, and a raise to 3 silver a week if you agree to stay in her service as a guard. For, although the assassin is dead, it is unknown if there will be another attempt or another assassin sent later.
