Arngeirr continues walking.  He says nothing to the monk, merely<i>harrumph</i>ing to himself once.  He weighs the monk's words for a moment, considers what he wishes he could do against what he know he should do.  In silence, he comes to his conclusion.<br/><br/>A gentleman is not just noble.  He is a warrior; a warrior of justice.  On the battlefield, mobility is the key to survival.  A gentleman must strike hard and move fast, lest he be overtaken by the simple sins of men.  Swiftness is just as important as might, and even with a hugeman's huge muscles, any gentleman or gentlewoman who leaves their home must be expected to to move as quickly as they think.<br/><br/>Without another word, the giant rounds on Veransus.  Even if the monk had not promised to stay in place, there would have been little time to react.  Arngeirr drops low onto one knee, driving his arm straight forward at chest-height for the monk, his other hand balled into a tight fist at his hip.  An open fist crash's into the monk's rib-cage with huge force; the wide palm spreads the impact out, ensuring the monk is launched across the corridor with excruciating pain, the air driven from his lungs, but leaving his bones unbroken.  The monk's body hits the wall and rolls onto the floor, and the giant is in motion again.  He surges forward, rising up to his full, terrible height, towering above the collapsed monk.  He lifts one huge leg into the air, his lips parting to let a terrible war-cry break free, and brings his foot down with all his might.<br/><br/>The strike lands beside the monk's head.  The stone beneath Arngeirr's huge foot cracks and splinters with the force of the mighty blow.  Arngeirr stands in silence, eyes wide as fury seethes across his huge physique, his bushy eyebrows raised and his huge chin jutting out.  He glares at the fallen monk murderously, holding the man in place through force of will alone.<br/><br/>Then his arms drop to his sides.  His breast swells as he takes in a huge breathe as if preparing to say something once more.  Instead, he simply turns in place and walks away, abandoning the monk where he has fallen.  Before the monk can rise, the giant is gone, leaving behind only the broken stone.
