You had to go and do it. Perform a reckless and heroic deed. Of course, you were now outnumbered and completely surrounded. Despite it all, you held strong, firmly wielding your sword and holding your chin up.
An unexpected sound coming from behind startled you. Turning around, you saw the men surrounding you dropping like flies. You frowned in confusion, even if you had a slight idea of what… or who… could be behind it.
Roaring in angry battle cries, Cahir appeared, swinging his sword like a mad man. Smiling to yourself, you took this distraction in your advantage and faced the remaining men. You joined forces with Cahir and soon you were left alone. The danger was gone.
“You found me” You turned to him, ignoring the quick pace of your breathing due to the exertion and the adrenaline.
“Good fucking thing I did” Cahir grunted, standing so close to your that your noses almost touched. “You could have died”
“But I didn’t” You grinned, which seemed to lightly ease his mood.
“You’re welcome” Was all he replied, sheathing his sword and taking a deep breath to remedy his own heavy panting.
“I had it under control, by the way” You muttered, and that reignited the flame of his anger.
Cahir turned to you, moving so fast that it startled you as he sternly took you by the arms and shook you.
“You didn’t, you were foolsh!” He shook you once more. “What would I do if I lost you?!”
Astonished, all you could do was gawk at him. Cahir only heaved a sigh and averted his gaze, relaxing his grip on you. You tilted your head to stare at him, and he only pursed his lips.
“I didn’t know you cared so much, Cahir…”
He let go of your arms, heaving a sigh and shaking his head. Cahir started to walk away, but was doing something you had never seen him do. Something extremely rare. He wass smiling.
