Duelist

“Your manners are foul as your vocabulary is crude. However, I am willing to accept your presence in exchange for an apology to this unfairly offended peasant. The alternative is too bloody for a fine day such as this, wouldn’t you agree?” The young man spoke with melodic playfulness, but all of us – even the brute before him – noticed his ready hand on the delicate hilt. I knew that his sharp tongue was only matched by the sheathed blade. I had seen it maim before. Unfortunately, his large thug of an opponent had not and made the unwise decision to lunge forward. That proved to be his last. "

The Wizard was angry. Not only had they conflated him with the bombing of Dresden, not only had they ruined his Star Wars marathon, they'd had the temerity to ask about The Hat.

"It's a Witch Hunter's Hat. Do I look like a Witch Hunter to you?" he asked between clenched teeth.

"But it's on the cover of the books!" the annoying one replied.

"Then maybe you should have bought the UK edition." he said in a voice colder than the mantle of Winter's Knight.
