Gawyn Vs. Rand
"How are the new recruits coming along, Taim?" asked Rand.
"Ha ha! I've found you, again. This time you will not escape me. You are
_mine_ al'Thor, Egwene has finally seen you as the vermin that you are and
has given me leave to end your miserable existence."
{hack, cut, thrust,
jab, slice}
"They seem to be coming along just fine. We've even got a couple of guys
who show remarkable aptitude in healing," replied Taim.
"Oh ha, yes, take this and this and this..."
{jab, hack, slice, cut, thrust}
"Excellent. I no longer, if I _ever_ did, trust aes sedai so it will be
good to have our own healers available," said Rand.
"Ah Ha! You try to escape me! Fool, I shall not let you get away again!
Take this and this and this..."
{thrust, slice, jab, cut, hack}
"Yes, I agree with you. I do not ever want to put myself in a position of
being under the care of one of them, again, even one that has sworn
allegiance. They still turn my stomach," said Taim.
"Oh no, you shant get away that easy, sheep-fucker! Take this and this and
this..."
{jab, jab, thrust, hack, hack, thrust, slice, cut, jab, jab, thrust,
thrust}
Smiling, Rand replied, "Turn you stomach...as good a way as any to put it.
What of Cauthon, any sign of him?"
"Oh you wish you could escape my blade, don't you you, you egomanical
murderer of helpless women! Take this and this and this and this..."
{slice, slice, jab, thust, hack, hack, thrust, jab, thrust, hack, jab,
slice cut, cut, thrust}
"Er, uh...Rand? Doesn't that...er, uh, doesn't that bother you?"
"I'll slice out your black hearted gizzard and make you eat it! Take this
and this and this..."
{hack, slice, cut, jab, thrust}
"What? Oh, you mean _him_," replied Rand.
"You despicable piece of Two-Rivers scum! I'll cut off your head and take
a good old fashioned Andoran dump in the stump, I will! Why I'll tear off
your face and hand it to you and I won't even wash my hands first, either!
Take this and this and this..." As he spoke he attacked Rand's back again
with his sword but met only tightly woven flows of Air that effectively
blocked any of his efforts to injure Rand.
"Yes, of course I mean him. Why do you allow him to do that? Why, with
just a minimum of effort you, or I if you prefer, could rid yourself of
this little pest once and for all," said Taim.
"Oh two of you, huh? Ganging up on me, huh? Why I'll split your carcasses
from end to end and pull out your entrails and use them to jump rope with!
And I'm not even that good a jumper, either. I'll probably trip and fall
and wallow in them and get 'em all dirty. Take this and this and this..."
{slice, slice, jab, thust, hack, hack, thrust, jab, thrust, hack, jab,
slice cut, cut, thrust}
"Why? He's harmless. And he is the brother of Elayne so hurting him is
completely out of the question. So...I just tolerate his little attacks.
He wears himself out fairly quickly and goes away. I mean, I just don't
know what else to do with him. He's almost family, for Light's sake."
"Oh you vile and putrid evil soul, you! I spit on thee, I forever grapple,
with thee...I, uh...I uh smack at thee...whew! I'm gettin' a little
winded, here. Okay, I can see that you've had enough for now. But you
won't get away so easy next time, al'Thor! Here, take this and this to
remember me by!"
{jab, thrust, poke, slap, bump, push, wobble, fall down...}
"Yeah, inlaws can be a bitch," replies Taim.
"Whew...man, is it hot in here, or what? Jeez, I gotta get me some lighter
weaponry. Well, er, uh...tomorrow, tomorrow you die, sheepherder! This I
swear!"
"Tell me about it. So, wanna grab some lunch?"
"You buyin'? Hey, I'll open a gate."
"Wheewwww! Man, I'm bushed. Anybody see where I left my horse?"
