Huh -- maybe he’s going soft. He hadn’t realized he’d been letting his guard down here ( and only here; he can’t remember the last time he’d been caught unawares anywhere but the Tourney field ) until he catches sight of the guy and loses whatever it was he was going to say for a second. ( a deadly slip -- what used to be a deadly slip, right. )
And then he recovers, planting the end of his stick against the ground and leaning with all seemingly casualty against it. ( he’s never actually found himself wishing he wasn’t alone -- and he totally doesn’t now, even though this practice had been solo and he’s kind of facing a living legend he hadn’t had the chance to meet. -- c’mon, of his failed subjects on the Isle, history hadn’t been among them. )
