Pyr's eyes teared up. He'd closed them fast enough that very little of the dirt had got in them, but he had to blink a few times to get the rest out. As he lay on the ground, Juliette's elbow at his throat and her knee at his groin, he was torn between shock and amusement.
Her words tipped the balance in favor of amusement. "I thought there was no honor in such a victory. You were so angry that I cheated. Sure didn't take you long to change your tune." He grinned. "And at least water in the eyes is harmless."
He wondered: how would she take it, now that he was the one accusing her of cheating? "Guess I'll have to up my game before next week, if you're going to be like this." In truth, he didn't care one bit about who won or lost the spar; all that interested him was seeing Juliette's reaction, and how she acted when she was beyond caring for politeness and propriety.
