"Blasted Thief," Watts spat. He shoved me back and healed Roman again. "Can you do nothing without my assistance?"

My repeated attacks failed to break through his guard. He wielded the two-handed sword with expert skill, and even at times with a single hand, his Strength high enough to allow that and to fend me off.

"It really is hard to find good help nowadays," Watts said conversationally. He rolled his eyes as I twisted and turned us around so that his back was to Roman, so that he couldn't heal and hold me off at the same time.
