S'kef stepped back, slowly admiring his handiwork as the girl sank to the floor. He placed his whip at his side again and crossed his arms, a skeptical and inquiring expression creeping across his face.
He wasn't exactly proud of what he'd done, just satisfied. It lacked the personal spin that came from getting ahold of someone like B'jin, but the girl's indignation had really gotten under S'kef's skin. He'd done the Weyr a service!
"Talk?" he asked incredulously, like it was the strangest request he'd ever heard. He ran his fingers down the sides of his chin thoughtfully. No one would extend a friendly hand to someone who'd just beaten them. He assumed as much, at least. She must have been up to something, and the lack of visible motive was a warning bell to S'kef. Had he not yet done enough?
While his natural inclination was to walk away, he decided to wait. "What do you mean 'talk about me'?" he asked cautiously.
