Talin
Talin hissed in pain as the spear gouged across his chest and threw him off balance.
"Cowardice?" He growled as he back pedaled and threw some daggers to give himself some space. "You think picking the path of a warrior is cowardly? Because a bandit is merely a fighter who uses his brains and brawn to take what he wants... I picked the path. A hard path that you have to be smart to survive and not get caught, because I hated the peaceful life." Brat thought he was a coward? That all he did was make others do the work? Who killed the most? Him. Who lead the ambushes? Him. Who made the plans? Him.
His eyes narrowed and he knew he wouldn't let this brat live. Here or later... Ouen was going to die. Hopefully knowing who killed him but Talin was perfectly fine with sneaking up and killing from behind. Cowardice? To pick a path where brains kept you alive? Kid hadn't ever struggled had he? Hadn't suffered and been starving in the wilderness only to be denied food by bloody merchants since he had no money....
This brat had lived lovely life; a nice one.... one with morals and ethics....
Screw ethics and morals! All they did was get you killed.

Ouen
After what seemed like an eternity of barely leaving a mark on the quick-footed wind male, Ouen finally landed a satisfying hit. Sure, it wasn't anything Talin couldn't bounce back from, not with his dogged resilience and snarling anger... but it was something, something to leave a mark regardless of the turnout of this battle. If he could at least go down having put up a good fight, he would set an example for the others, who were watching intently from the sidelines.
"You ain't no warrior." Ouen scoffed, genuinely laughing at the bandit's words. "'s that what you's think you is? 'cause you ain't. Naw, you ain't. And don'tcha try an' turn this on me 'ere either. I ain't sayin' I was no knight in shinin' armour. But I'm standin' up for somethin', an' you's just crawlin' on 'round on yours belly. You don't know nothin' else, and you's just pretendin' you chose this. You ain't never made no choice. You been backed into a corner, and you ain't had the guts to fight back, not in any way that counts. Just lashin' out with your daggers like a baby, killin' folk who can't even put up any fight an' callin' it bein' a warrior. You's a joke."
