Tau told the Noble that if he harmed the boy, he’d suffer for it. Odili’s men, many more of them than there were Ayim, broke into the house, hoping to make short work of Tau and the six with him. The old Noble, thinking the battle won, laughed in Tau’s face and slit the boy’s throat. Tau saved that Noble for last. He and the Ayim killed everyone else. And when Tau had gone to put the old man to death, he’d gibbered, pleaded, and pissed himself. His screams came after that.
GOOD.
