Berrod glared as the  Arbiter and the Student walked away to cross the bridge. A sharp pain lanced through his knees, and he immediately set to pacing in order to press it out.
"Ohhhh," Came the familiar, teasing drawl. He saw the smirking face and the beard in the corner of his eye. "They're goin' without ya."
He couldn't respond. Jancis was right there, watching him. He couldn't be seen talking to himself.
"They're probably gonna spar! Ain't that a shame. You been waitin' t'take Warren on fer a long time. So patient. Stupid bugger that y'are."
His knees were made of fire.
"C'mon Armstrong. Let me loose. Y'can start with Jancis there. She'll be quick. Then Dorn. He's rich an' powerful--" He stumbled slightly, his knees exploded with agony, "-- but keep him alive so y'can kill his daughter in front of 'im. Oh -- Jancis is lookin' worried. Give her somethin' to worry about, why don't ya?"
Rhalgr, Berrod prayed desperately, Gimme the strength ta keep this madness at bay...
