He gasped, hand going to his head even as he tried to gasp a full breath,
dizzy and finding bracing his foot difficult. Nothing.
His gaze dropped to the ground, only for a second to see that battered hat
on its side. He was stunned. "Why you naughty little minx," he growled,
eyes bright and excited. He wasn't upset, not in the least, but he was
spurred to further his cause. Maybe, just maybe he had realized this was
his moment to show her he could hold his own, flirting in ways that had
nothing to do with teasing words.
Whatever stability he had hoped to gain was gone, falling back with a
thump. Even as he found his gaze a bit hazy, he tried to bring up one of
the blades, not even with expertise, but trying for a blow nonetheless.
