Features: The large fighters shifted uneasily in his seat, looking all about the nearly empty tavern. "Not so busy this night," the slender, drowsy-looking man across the table remarked. He shifted back lazily in his seat, crossed his legs in front of him, and draped a skinny arm over them. The large man regarded him wary as he began to understand.

The weakling man curled his lips in a wicked grin, one that widened as the burly fighter regarded his skinny arms with obvious disdain. "To kill me," the large man finished, trying to appear calm. His wringing hands, fingers moving as if seeking something to keep them occupied, revealed his nervousness.
