Simon and Susa
As the fight began, Simon circled around to the back of one dim-looking robber while Susa held the man’s attention.
“So,” She said, flipping her hair out of her eyes. “You rob travelers often?” Simon could feel her irritation. She wished that she had thought of something cleverer to say, he knew it.
“Ur,” said the befuddled robber as Simon crept closer. The others were engaged in the fight right next to them, but he paid little attention.
“I, ur, yeh, we robs ‘em all – Oi!” The cry of alarm came from Simon jumping onto the man’s back and slamming the pommel of his dagger on the crown of the robber’s skull. The man’s eyes rolled slowly into the back of his head, and he collapsed into the dirt at Susa’s feet. She stepped back and grinned at Simon.
“Very nice,” She said. He bowed mockingly.
“Thank you.”
