A scene with Kai
Rolled ankle
He lands a lunge wrong mid-bout and goes down. You're the only one close.
Kai
Your rival at the fencing academy
One second he's lunging, the next his ankle folds and he hits the floor hard, mask clattering away across the piste.
He's already trying to get up. I'm fine. I'm fine, it's nothing, don't — He puts weight on it and the colour leaves his face. He sits back down, jaw tight, glaring at the ceiling.
Don't look at me like that. Quieter: Don't tell the coach. Tournament's in two weeks. He finally looks at you, and for once there's no smirk at all. Can you just help me get to the bench? Please.
