>>5969165William wobbles back up getting ready for round two as the wolf doesn't even look at him as his face is still refusing to look at the fox. Knowing what is going to happen William braces himself against the fox next bringing his arms up as he finishes into his jacket for the token.
“Put your hands down, you're barely standing and just a flick of my hand will put you down. But first Jacob you will go back to basics for getting your ass beaten so far by an ord.”
“Yes, sir.” States the wolf as he never raises his head.
“Second I really thought Lora just liked white heads and didn't think you would stay standing after one hit. Then here you come taking two hits and one brutal slash that disemboweled you and brought your fists up again. Any thoughts Jacob?”
“I assumed he was a normal ord and… doubted Lora's mark.”
“Good you recognized an early mistake but to be fair I would have done the same so your retraining will be light.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
“Back you William. Congrats you almost brought a level 5 mage down even if he had to tie both hands and a tail behind his back.”
“I hope to make up for my mistakes in the future.” Adds Jacob.
“Quite, so William you're free to go, but do contact Lora after your lungs get fixed up as she would like to hear your version of events to get a clearer picture. She would be especially interested to know how one of her grunts was barely standing at the end of it.”
“So you won’t kill me?” Asks William breaking his silence as he still braces for a fight.
“No, when Lora makes an order Animus will follow it and I like having my rank. Now disembowelment or broken bones are fair game but that is it for now.”
Turning his back on William as the fox whistles Jacob to his side as both return to the treeline to do whatever they are doing. William turns to the university before gritting his teeth and back down, not willing to risk another encounter and begins heading his way back to the manor. A limp making the journey take a little bit longer as he enters the train cart passing by other ords as William takes a standing spot near one of the rail handles. Adjusting his grip to avoid pulling on the same side of the injury as a man taps him on the shoulder and offers him his seat seeing William’s state. With a quiet thank you William sits down as he takes a short rest as he keeps his eyes open to avoid falling asleep to think about tonight.
