They crept up to the stranger, who was lying in a clearing in the forest and glaring up at the sky. Kylo activated his lightsaber and held it out menacingly. Unfortunately, he still had the welding hood on, because he had insisted that it gave him 'aesthetic'. It didn't.
"Piss off," said the stranger.
"This is my forest," Merlin said mildly. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, sure, I'm just fine. I'm great. Everything's wonderful."
Kylo had to turn his whole head to look at Merlin. "I think he's being sarcastic."
"I am being sarcastic, peasant."
"Hey!" The lightsaber swung menacingly back towards the stranger's chest, but he suddenly had a dagger in his hand and pushed it away. Kylo pointed it back. He pushed it away again.
Merlin watched them for a while. It was rather mesmerizing, like watching the pendulum on a clock.
"Er — Not to interrupt, but you could just tell me why you're in my forest? And then we'll let you get back to . . . whatever you were doing."
The stranger turned a baleful glare on him and sighed. "Everyone thinks I was my stepsister."
