Summary
Before Karlach was betrayed, she was a simple bodyguard with all that entails. The dangers of her work bring to fore emotions long hidden. Will they be accepted, though?
Mesmerised by the sight, Karlach watched in rapt attention, noting how the humble pommel of the flashing blade doubled as a bludgeoning tool in the hands of the woman whose loose black hair shimmered and gleamed in the strengthening rays of the rising sun. As if to warn her against becoming complacent, the woman began incorporating a series of leaps and tumbles into her routine, slicing at the air with an intent to maim or quarter enemies unseen.
When a tumble took the woman close to where Karlach stood, the tiefling made to move a pace back only to find the bastard sword coming right for her exposed throat.
“Head’s up!” The words were her only warning to raise her own great axe up to block the wickedly sharp edge coming towards her.

Summary
Hoping to spend her day off with her favourite person, Karlach is caught off-guard by the harsh welcome she receives. Leaning heavily on both her skill with weapon and words, she attempts to navigate the prickly hot waters she has inadvertently landed herself in. Will she succeed in fishing herself and her precious person out of them?
“Again.”
Karlach spat out some blood-tinted spittle, glaring up at the unyielding mask of her erstwhile tormentor.
Eyes akin to the glacial chill of northern ice stared past a patrician nose, offering her no quarter. She’d just recovered from needing stitches in her side and her return to the local mercenary company’s salle was proving to bring with it far more pain than she had bargained for.
