2 sides of a battered coin [dimitri]

[Jokor]

Jokor didn't saw the squire's next move coming and was completely caught of guard and thus unable to even attempt dodging the squires heavy shield. Letting it crash right into the side of his head. Jokor managed to let out a slightly confused sound before his face went blank and he fell to the ground like a marionette that had his strings cut, quite clearly signifying to everybody that was watching that the little guy had lost to the squire and that he just had his lights knocked out. Though from the sounds of the very few people watching it wasn't as if they weren't expecting it.

[Dimitri]

Dimitri halted his retaliatory attack as he felt his shield crash into the man's head. He watched him crumple to the ground in a heap, to the muted cheers of onlookers. Dimitri saw that he was breathing but not moving. He sheathed his sword, and put his shield on his back. He went and knelt next to the man. He shook him, nothing happened. He lightly slapped him a couple of times, still nothing. He examined the area he struck. Nothing felt broken but it would make for some ugly bruising.

He bent down, picked the little man up, and placed his limp body on his broad shoulders. He may not have liked the man, but he would see that he was taken care of. He stood slowly, lifting the man, and started toward the baths. He would have them heal the man, and he would pay. After all, the little man did provide some training, and who knows, a good gesture could go far. Maybe help the man not be so angry.
