Ana smiles and slides in as if she’s about to return his advance, then sweeps his feet out from under him with a leg while pushing squarely in the centre of his chest sending him tumbling to the ground with a thunderous crash. She puts a booted foot against his throat and applies just enough force to keep him pinned, “If his lordship would care to review the terms of our contract he would find that said agreement does not include those specific fringe benefits and if his lordship would kindly stop looking up my skirt and pay attention, that would also be greatly appreciated.”Tiglath wrote:Then Foix seems to loose his military focus and instead substitutes his most charismatic roguish smile whilst pulling Ana in close “On a personal level you, in that look, with a pair of swords, mon dieu c’est si belle. There are two obvious ways out here, cheri – punch me or kiss me! Don’t hold back!”
Foix retorts defensively “But I love women! Perhaps less specifically than some might prescribe but in fairness I couldn’t do without them! I must assume Lysette Eloise is not in her best of health. I fear she would simply eliminate you as a threat - quite possibly within seconds of meeting you”.Ramona wrote: Ana lets out a sigh, “I’m beginning to wonder if as a woman I might be on the wrong side.”
Ana removes her foot from his throat and kicks him in the ribs pulling the blow just before impact such that it looks far worse than it is. She stands next to the fitting area door looking all the more dangerous and annoyed.
“I wasn’t blaming your men,” Ana says quietly, “and it wouldn’t be the first time someone attempted to retire a CO with a bullet. They froze me for 15 years after that, buried the investigation, it is what it is.”Tiglath wrote:He continues “Ana, La Legion were saving our rounds for our own wounded – you know what the insurgents did. I can say those beautiful men and women who retook the breach used bayonets and rifle butts. My Legion snipers had used all their rounds and were fighting as infantry but given where we were on the reverse slope your wound could not be a spent round or a deflection. I’ve taken that shot myself. I think you did slip and with more than a half second flight time it saved your life. I believe you were shot by a master sniper positioned behind the front line. The shooter could only have been positioned within the Imperial enclave”.
