And in case you were wondering, yes, he just got punched by a girl.
And yes, he totally let her.
Though it wasn’t a hard enough swing to knock him off his feet, the thief would be feeling the full effect of that punch in the morning— or possibly even in an hour. His hand was immediately gripping his jaw, a bit of blood was visible from the hit. Who knew a chick could whack so hard—
but right, keep the composure, it totally didn’t hurt that bad, blood? no, it was definitely tomato juice and that cracking sound was totally normal—
“—I think you broke my jaw—”
Okay, scratch the whole trying to appear manly and frightening in front of the girl to get his way. The pain was completely horrendous and if he wasn’t so taken back by the whole punching him square in the jaw thing, a quick exit would’ve been great right then. But instead, he rested his back against one of the pillars, trying to regain feeling in that part of his face.
“–!!”
Anna opened her eyes and gasped at the sight she was seeing. Oh god, was he bleeding, jaw possibly broken? And she could’ve sworn she heard a loud crack. Uh oh. She didn’t mean to hit him that hard! The girl just wanted to hit him hard enough to where he could’ve gotten spooked and gotten a bruise or two, taking that as a clear warning not to stay in this castle. She must’ve underestimated her strength once again, causing more damage than she originally wanted to.
“Ahh! Oh no, I-I’m sorry! I- I–”
Anna bit her lip and hesitantly held her arms out towards him, forcing down the instinct to utter anymore apologies. No, she wasn’t sorry. He broke into the castle, threatened her! Even though she didn’t mean to strike him so hard, that doesn’t mean he didn’t deserve the hit either, she reasoned with herself. With that in mind, she lowered her arms and took a few quick steps away, at a comfortable distance, from the thief.
“U-um, y-yeah! That’ll teach you! But– um…oh, uh, do you need a doctor?”
