Surprised and confused, I looked up at him.

He reached out to pull me over, gently pushed away my sleeves to reveal my wrists, and saw the scratches. He frowned and said, "Didn't you fight back?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, but I cut my nails a few days ago, so it didn't hurt when I scratched her. I just yanked on her hair a few times."

He looked at me, and his handsome face was filled with disappointment. He said, "Since your nails were trimmed, wouldn't you have thrown a punch or a kick?"

I held back my laughter, looked at him, and said, "Come on, I'm not a brute, so I won't throw a punch during a fight. Anyway, I'm fine. Linda splashed a huge basin of water on Rowane, so, we won overall."

He looked at me and said in disgust, "Two of you fought with one lady, and you got injured, even. And it wasn't you who splashed the water! What if Linda wasn't here? Were you planning to let Rowane disfigure you?"

I didn't say anything else. I lowered my head like a child. "I would not dare fight with Rowane if Linda was not here. Rowane is so cruel, so I would never win! So I would not pick a fight, clearly!" He snorted and ignored me. Then, he turned around and was about to leave.

I followed him, and after a few steps, I squatted down, watching him walk away. Internally, I felt a twinge of pleasure.
