<Snipped quote by Zyx>
this is.. not an ideal combat.. situation. My master feels... this battle... is mostly his, alone. We have been tested... he feels... he needed the excercise.
*a raspy cough comes through my respirator, and I look down to my hands*
but... you're right. I am... no diplomat. I am... a Warrior.
And it is the natural lot of warriors, of soldiers, to fight.
*My expression darkens*
I know this lesson well, for I lived it. When next you get the chance, do remind your master that single combat is a really stupid way of going about things, no matter the reason. You'd probably have been able to keep that guy occupied long enough for your leader to remove whatever's keeping him alive were you out there instead of over here.
