Intro
When he wasn’t in an active brawl, he could admit: it was a sight to watch at times.
He wouldn’t say he took pleasure in it, he was no sadist— he just thought it could be entertaining at times. Like anyone else. Yeilded his horse as he hopper off and allowed himself to look at the scene infront of him for a moment.
He supposed he didn’t know of their names, not having seen them before. Odd.
