"That hurt," he growled, wiping blood from his face. "You fool for trying fight."

Jerica gaped, still panting. What. The. Fuck. “… you can talk.”

"Yes." Rönn shook his head to clear it. "You sorry now?"

“…yes.” She didn’t put her dagger away, though. She’d killed plenty of men who could talk. “Ish… you could have led with that instead of the growling.”

"Better you not see me," he said curtly. "It not my fault if you too stupid to run."

“You could have run,” Jerica retorted, straightening her clothes. Was she really arguing with a goat man right now?

“I see you now,” she shot back. “And I wouldn’t have chased you. I’m not that stupid.”

"You very stupid," Rönn retorted. "Try to fight me when you see how big I is. You brain not working."

“You think I could outrun you?” Jerica scoffed. “How was I to know if you’d give chase or not? I wasn’t going to turn my back… and I don’t run away.”

"You back away, not run away. Animal warn you when they scared, unless they wolverine they try not fight."

Jerica didn’t know how to respond. She took a few deep breaths, trying to regulate her breathing. Now that the adrenaline was wearing off, her throat hurt like fuck. It was definitely going to bruise… if she survived.
“And what are you? … who?” She didn’t even know at this point.

“Morrow—?” Jerica repeated weakly. So it was him. And she was dead. She straightened her shoulders, forcing herself to lift her chin even though all of the color had drained from her face. “Jerica Ainsley. Governor’s Assassin.” Maybe if he respected her reputation she’d be able to get out of this. Would he even know? Was her infamy spread this far North? She didn’t know.
(Bruh I just had to pull a 24 foot boat on a narrow windy ass backroad and whew boy it was a stressful time in my life lol)

(Omg that sounds like hell In a car though, right?)
"Governor?" Rönn wrinkled his nose. "You from South?"
