Like a cat, he waited in the shadows for the man to run past. When he did, the cloaked figure had to stick out his leg, tripping him as the man seemed in no mood to stop.
"Oh, it's you," he grunted from down in the dust. "Look I did my best, we attacked the king but he's like some sort of demon."
The watcher glared but the hood obscured his face and the grumbling assasin didn't see.
"I'm not going back," he declared resolutely. "We were 6 against his one and he was winning!" Then suddenley he remembered something. "Hey, why'd you trip me."
The watcher spoke for the first time, obviously before now he had felt that his breath was better wasted on someone more worthy. "You were running fast. If I hadn't done something you would've missed me."
The man on the floor seemed to think it would've been better if he had missed the foot but was silenced by an idle kick.
"You've failed me and I don't tolerate failure well. But as I'm a generous fellow," this was accompanied by an unseen lear, "I'm willing to offer you another chance. You'd better take it, I'm not a patient man."
Stumbling to his feat the brigand gazed into the dark folds of the cloak and swallowed the imminent, "who are you?"
"Better," said the dark one. "Now here's what you do."
