everything has its wonders
”I have never once fought in an official ring,” Ronin said cheerfully in response to ‘how things we’re done where he was from’. ”In Northwind I was trained as a soldier. Hand-to-hand was my specialty, as were covert operations. They would send me to places where weapons, even concealed ones, would likely do no good.” He grinned. ”Granted, I used my skills mostly to start fights in taverns when they caught me cheating at cards.” Did that count as therapy?
Sunjata moved quickly, casually, and Ronin sidestepped enough that the blow would graze him; he had no doubt that if the other man had really wanted it to hurt, it would. He could absolutely respect that. ”As for joining in... well. My daughter is dead and my marriage has nearly collapsed multiple times in a matter of as many weeks. I’m still figuring out who I am now. It’s fun, but kind of lonely.”
Now it was his turn to spring forward, aiming low towards one of the kidneys. ”What about you?”
