[Many of the landen men cannot meet her eyes, and feeling the oppressive of Mary's psychic power quickly disperse. No all do, however, and it infuriates the few men too foolish to retreat.]
What's a few less mutts in the world?!
[The one with the club sneers as he hefts his weapon and swings it down. Henry darts forward, drawing his sword, and extends his empty left hand to meet the descending club as the boy cries out in fear. Channelling his own native power — his nemesis shield — through his jewel, the instant the club makes contact with his hand it hits a solid, unseen shield and cracks under the force of its own power turned back on it. In that same moment the attacker is stunned, and Henry uses that familiar opening to drive the pommel of his sword hard into the man's jaw. The man crashes to the ground unconscious.
Glancing over his shoulder at the boy, he quickly orders:]
Go to the Lady's side!
[He returns his attention to the remaining two landens, who jerk forward in a panic. If they are wise, they will grab their friend and leave. If not, he has no qualms teaching them a painful lesson.
Without turning, he says to Mary:]
These curs are beneath you. Allow me!
[Her jewel is greater than his; she doesn't need his help. But Hotspur would never sit idle.]
