Then Kroogi screamed at the top of his lungs so loudly that
my ears rang, and he leapt at the knight with his big hands
going for the knight's throat.
I was so surprised that I just sat there with my papers
and pen and satchel and watched the two of them fighting
and rolling in the dirt, yelling and cursing each other and
using words that Ark would have slapped my face for
using, as he'd done once when I said a word I'd heard a
fisherman use but which I won't say ever again, or at least
not when Ark is around.
More townspeople gathered around, shouting at Kroogi
to beat the knight up, but some people came who yelled for
the knight to beat up Kroogi because they didn't like the
fact that Kroogi was once a barbarian, even if he was a nice
guy mostly and made toys at Yuletime for some families
when he had the chance.
Then someone pushed someone else, and then the
whole crowd was going at it and everyone was kicking and
punching and shoving and flailing away, and grown men
had blood coming from their noses and mouths, and their
hair was pulled out, and some had clubs and hoes, and
someone else screamed like he was dying, and about then I
felt someone grab me around the waist and drag me off,
and it was Jarvis.
"Damn you!" he shouted at me as he dragged me off.
"What in the Abyss did you do now?"
So I told him, and he put me up here on the roof of the
Cats & Kitties, where he said I couldn't cause any more
trouble while he tried to restore order in town. It's nice and
warm up here, and I have a great view of the town and sea
and farms, but I can still hear people yelling, and some lady
is wailing over and over, and I wish I had asked Jarvis for
something to eat, because now I am really hungry
