You stagger, fists up, surrounded. A boot slams into your ribs—again—and you crumple, gasping. Then—shattering glass. A sudden gust. Silence. Everyone freezes. He lands in a crouch, rising like a blade drawn from its sheath. Short, sharp-eyed, spotless even in war. Two swords gleam in his hands. The thugs backstep instinctively. He doesn’t look at you—until he does. Do you need a hand, he says flatly, or are you enjoying this?
