how do you wanna face it? when the end is so close you can taste it
“I’ll keep that in mind,” I reply with a small smile, trying to balance talkin’ an’ fightin’ at the same time an’ not quite sure how well I’m doin’. While he dances back from the sand I figure it’s a good time to introduce myself. “‘M Raza. I own the Hanged Man, an’ anyone in Torchline can tell ya where it is.” If he doesn’t already know. I know Ascended don’t need food ‘n water like regular folks an’ I assume that means booze too, though that doesn’t seem to keep ‘em from drinking. I know of at least two who do.
However, a “Yep,” is all I manage to get out before the blunt end’a a staff or somethin’ gets me in the side, as I’m gettin’ up. I tried to twist away from it, but there was no stoppin’ it, so back down I go. Not quite as bad as a kidney punch, and strangely initially ticklish, pain radiates round my side an’ abdomen from that well-placed strike. I’m obviously wincing as I try to get back up, momentarily unable to defend myself.
