"It was midway into my career. I was 16 or 17 at this point, though I'm sure my official paperwork says otherwise. They put me up against someone they called a young, promising fighter, with a style supposedly more aggressive then my own. He swiped at me a few times, and we sized each other up. That's when he made a rookie mistake. He charged forward, leaping into the air. His shield was far off to one side, his sword the other. He was clearly trying to use the weight of his body and his swings to beat me, but if I held my stance, I could slip my sword through his guard and disarm him, and he'd run into my shield. Maybe he'd lose a tooth, or get a big bruise, but he'd be fine."

Janvier sighs. "See, when you fight enough people, you anticipate how they move. You don't anticipate how they fall, or trip. I moved my shield into position, and he tripped. His face ripping into the side of my shield. His chest slamming into the edges... bone visible, the blood..."

The youthful energy seems gone, if only for a moment.

"I'll be fine." A small smile appears on his lips. "I promise," he says. There is no trace of the smile in his eyes.

An accident. For a moment, Nana feels a small flash of guilt: she had begun to assume terrible things about this man she barely knows.

But she pushes that feeling, and her imaginings, well away. Fearless, she reaches up to gently pat his knee. "We all do things we regret, son. You'll be alright."

Her smile is more confident, making up for how his is not. "But if we do find some tea, I'll make up a cup, special just for you."
