Re: Misha B/Damian W
[The smack does not startle Damian, as he can recognize the sound of skin hitting skin at a high rate of speed, and he can recognize the intent inherent. But, he does look over. It is over too quickly for him to act, but he does watch the man follow the woman with the cool thread of air. He is quick to follow, diverting from his course, to cut the man off from the woman as she 'escapes.' And he is confront, this man, by a surly kid in a black hoodie. He thinks he is being mugged, here in broad daylight, but all Damian does is tell the man that if he lifts his hand to that woman or her child, he will know, and he will kill him. That is how helps the world.
He gets back on track, walking around the wide-eyed man, back toward the bodega nearby. He pulls out his phone once more, clicks the link, reads it, then types.] If that man wished to kill her, could you dissuade him?
