It was then, the ache dulling in his fist that Harry realised he was not alone, or on the streets of Hackney where such a short-lived fight would hardly have caused a crowd to gather. He cursed to himself silently. "Forgive me, but I couldn't let such a brute continue to turn the air blue, could I?" Harry said, "And duelling is an illegal past-time." He added, glancing from Nell to the crowd.

Vivian was somewhat in shock. In a matter of seconds, there'd been a mild commotion, and Slater had stormed off. For a moment, she considered following him, but eventually just stayed still, staring at her feet. However, when Nell came up and threw her a glare, muttering about gutter rubbish, she cleared her throat, taking a step forwards and taking Harry's hand, whether he wanted her to or not. She was only trying to help, and by god, she was going to help.

She inspected his knuckles, avoiding looking at his face. "They're going to bruise. He turned his head so you hit cheekbone too. It'll sting for a while." She dropped it then, still not looking back at Nell. "He's going to come after you now, you know."

Harry was trying to calm his breath, but in the time it took to get his heart beat to slow, his anger had only increased again. How dare Slater just run away, how dare he! He was just an old fool, a stupid old fool and a coward too. He growled to himself, and flexed his fingers to feel the dull ache. He'd drawn blood, and that was enough. "Don't touch me." He told Viv, and glanced back at Nell. Slater was already after them, but first blood was his.
