"How do ya know I ain't gonna get hit a little too hard and just die," said Azhar to Li.
Old Thane charged and swung at Azhar, and the hinterlander barely dodged by ducking and rolling again.
"I said I would try me best to not kill you," said Old Thane. "And you have little time to worry about anything other than the fight before you, boy."
"Hells, guess I gotta do this, then."
Azhar grimaced as Old Thane barreled towards him again. Li nodded in approval as Azhar sidestepped another of the old man's blows and then landed a solid punch at his side. Old Thane absorbed the impact with a smile before he lashed out like a wild beast, grabbing Azhar's arm with an iron vicegrip.
