What the hell? I did not invite you inside! [There are various crashes and what sounds like a body - or several bodies - being thrown or pushed against hard stone.] You've never met a soldier like me.

[Those last words are growled as if they are meant for only one person to hear.]

Get out of my rooms or I'll make you regret ever coming here in the first place.

[Something slices through the air with a faint metallic ring. Oh yes, that would be his sword.]

[He had a feeling this was going to start happening -- what with the colorful sermon he heard about earlier -- it's only a surprise that it didn't happen sooner. Some people get to have all the fun.]

Still there?

[animusangelus]

[This comes sometime later...] Yeah, yeah. [He sounds out of breath.]

I don't need a rescue. [Just some peace of mind!]

[gottaknockhard]

[He exhales, probably out of habit, but hangs on for reasons other than worry. Although he could think of other people he'd rather lose.]

I had a feeling.

[animusangelus]

I appreciate the offer, though. Thanks. [It's nice to know someone can be that nice.]

[gottaknockhard]

[There's a beat or two of silence. It feels weird to come across as selfless for once.]

Sometimes it pays to find out what's going on.
