Parting Words, Sharpened

Summoneyy brought in a tiny foreign duel and declared it murder, which was fair. Arrowyy attempted a charitable translation of the final insult and missed the target by roughly a mother.

Arrowyy was pleased with having been nearly right. I admire the boy’s confidence, if not his map-reading.
