Gustavo laughs at your statement. "Little Bruno. You are so right. Dinner is downstairs, and I thought I heard your Nanny Maria call you down. Run along, get your food." His voice gets a little harder as he adds, "You don't want to disappoint her." The hand that holds the knife deftly wraps around you, pushing you towards the door. You feel the handle of the knife push in your back.
I also do which isn't much, but it's enough for me.
"Nanny! Nanny!" I cry, attempting to wriggle out of my Uncle's grasp and away from the sharp blade. I stamp on his foot, duck under his arm and rush to the hutch, still calling for help. I am trying to be brave, but I can feel the warm tears on my cheeks.
* I am happy to roll to resolve here, unless you want to up the ante and attempt to provoke me into ultraviolence.
"What is all this noise! Have you no respect for your elders! What is this? What is going on here?" I bellow as my demure nurse wheels me in, I can tell she's wanted to leave for days now.
Bruno, you pest! What are you doing to Fritz? Explain yourself! I won't have anyone fighting Fritz." I scowl, waving around my brass stick theatrically.
[This sounds like the start of a joke: "A Canadian, Ozzie and Limey start a game about Ultraviolence..."]
*I was subtly trying to provoke the ultra violence, but maybe I was a too subtle about the whole thing.*
Gustav smiles and looks Gossfarter straight in the eye. "You know how it is? We need the food, those rabbits are food. Now if you'll both excuse me I need to skin them before the trip. I have just enough time."
I also do which isn't much, but it's enough for me.
I pull one of the rabbits from the hutch and clutch it to my chest. "You aren't going to eat my rabbits." I say through gritted teeth. "Go away, Uncle."
Uncle Gustav brandishes the knife in front of his nephew. "I was trying to be nice. Now get out of my way Nephew." His voice is deep and filled with suppressed anger at being thwarted.
I also do which isn't much, but it's enough for me.
*Hi, I'm back. I had some issues with my account, but they are all sorted now!*
I realise my uncle is resolved to take my rabbits. Still clutching the rabbit to my chest I stomp hard on my uncle's foot and, bent over, charge my head into his stomach, heedless of his knife...
*yay fixing account stuff. So, I think this is where we leave it to fate, or get to ultra violence because that'll determine the outcome of the fight.*
