We were a little bit outside of camp, where those at the fire couldn't see. I sighed and went on the offensive. I circled around Alistair, feinting a ...few times, testing his reflexes. He was fast; almost as fast as Tomas, and stronger to boot. I knew I couldn't afford to get hit with his shield at all.My performance at first was lackluster; I was emotionally off-balance fighting Alistair.
