Embrace Violence

Feydrik stopped, his mind trying to contemplate what the redhead was saying. But it was the appearance of Mandalore that brought him to a bow, then to a knee, a hand across his chest. He waited for him to finish speaking, then others. More newcomers. But the same speeches, the same words vomited over and over.

He didn’t chuckle like he normally would’ve. He let the words hang in the air. He wanted an answer. He demanded one.
