The Pieces of Battle - Part 2

Cormrant sighed, but managed to keep himself from saying anything that might have gotten his head separated from his shoulders. Lady Blackthorn was looking at him with the same sort of intensity as Verdant – it seemed a veritable attack on two sides. Seeing this, Rofus laughed.

"Haha! Looks like you're the bad guy now, Sergeant Cormrant," Rofus said. "I suppose that makes you and me the same rank now?" He did a little hop, and thoroughly enjoyed himself in rubbing it in.

Without a second thought, Cormrant sent a solid armoured fist clattering towards the sides of Rofus' face. Even from a soldier of ordinary strength such as himself, that was a strike that threatened to break bones.

The other Sergeant dodged it long before it came to that, though. He danced nimbly out of range, laughing all the while.
