"Man, has this guy ever heard of stealth?" Nori said to herself. She could hear her opponent before she even see him. When it finally emerged from behind a small bolder, she realized that her opponent was Rush, one of those Tali's that were always blaming her for taking their stuff.
"Well, sure, I take their stuff, but they don't have to get all hyped up about it and send someone to fight me. Much less a wimp to fight me. I mean, what are they thinking? That Rush of all people might stand even a slim chance against me? Well, big mistake on their part." Before Rush could even think about what was happening Nori was on top of him, pinning Rush down, getting ready to slash at one of his vital spots when she found that she couldn't do it. There was a look in Rush's eyes, like he was scared, but more than scared. Something that words couldn't describe well enough. There was a look of fear, but a fear of death.
"I..I can't do it? What they heck is wrong with me?" Nori had never shown mercy, she had never know it. To her if it meant her own survival, it was worth disposing of her opponent, but here it was different. Nori didn't know what to do, so she ran, farther and farther, hoping to make sure that Rush couldn't follow her. Just her and some other opponent knowing, someone who didn't know anyone who would care about this would have been ok, but Rush knowing it was shameful. Surely he would tell all the other Talis, and her reputation would be over.
"Gosh, what have I gotten myself into this time?" She thought.
