That Bit Extra—"Again."
🕑 Added 2021-09-20 12:59:01 +0000 UTCA dash of motion brushes past my peripheral vision, more solid than the rest. At least…I think.
But then another swirls from my right and doubt begins to cloud my instincts.
Instincts that I should have trusted.
I let out a yell of surprise as ${adam} comes barelling towards me at speed, covering myself with my arms as I await the painful impact of ${a_his} fist against me.
It's a few silent moments where nothing happens before I peer out from around my arms.
$!{adam} is pursing ${a_his} lips at me, arms folded, and ${a_his} withering stare meeting my gaze.
"I guess that wasn't the best start…," I murmur, swinging my arms down and offering an apologetic half-shrug.
$!{adam} sighs and turns away. "Again."
if took Combat option in Book Two
I roll my eyes at the word, memories of it still haunting me after our last training
session.

My shoulders sag, but I try to find the motivation buried within me.
Certainly seems like I'm going to need it.

So this is the version of this moment if you're not great at combat, which a lot of my MCs aren't, hehe!
There are different versions of this moment if you're good at combat, took the combat option last time and are relatively good at combat, another one if you've got good people skills, etc.
I just wanted to share this one because that, "Again." had me chuckling after using it so much in Book Two's scene, hehe! I do love bringing up stuff from previous scenes or moments where I can :D

No A. Not again. No more again. Learn a new word. 🥺 I love A almost as much as I love M but by this point my A-mancer is tired of the word again.

I can imagine A would have an interesting time with an MC who had no fear, lol!!! :D

I may have to get my A-mancer to try combat after seeing this. She went for research in b2 because she literally has 0 combat abilities. Not sure she'd curl into a ball and flinch, though, because she also (stupidly) has no fear, lol.
