Thok visibly flinched the moment I called his name.
The idiot had apparently been trying to avoid my attention by standing behind the troll as if that would somehow make him invisible to me, but there was no way he could escape my senses.
And there was definitely no way I was forgetting his nonsense that easily.
"So," I said while leaning back slightly, "my goblin Thok would like to challenge you, Veyra."
Veyra turned her head toward him calmly.
Meanwhile, Thok looked like he'd just been sentenced to death.
He swallowed hard before slowly nodding, clearly not daring to reject me in front of everyone.
"Alright, Thok," I said with a grin. "Make me proud."
He did not, in fact, make me proud.
The fight ended so quickly that it barely even felt like a fight.
The moment it started, Thok rushed forward, trying to overwhelm Veyra immediately, but she sidestepped him with almost insulting ease before striking him once in the stomach hard enough to fold his body forward.
