Xin and his men could not handle themselves.

Poppy was an absolute terror to fight against. She seemed unphased by their blows, as though immune to their weapons, quickly striking each armored man down with a single crushing blow to the skull. Suddenly it was just her and Xin left standing, breathing heavily, Xin charged in to take down the ferocious Yordle, Poppy too charged back, but she was stronger. Taking Xin with her in to a wall. bricks crumbling to dust about them from the sheer force of the charge.

"Xin, you need to stop now while you're ahead."

Xin Zhao slowly moved his face to look at his attacker. Coughing up blood as she had surely bruised something internally.

"Why, it is my duty?"

"Because it's Hammer Time."

Xin Zhao crumpled in to a heap on the ground. Never before had he experienced that kind of power behind a single blow. He wouldn't die that day, but he would certainly be out of action for a few months as his broken everything healed. With his last breath before succumbing to unconsciousness, Xin wheezed.

"He...he would not start his wedding without you...he said that, he was sorry he betrayed his best friend. He also said you could wear your armor instead of a dress.

With that Xin became a heap on the ground. There was nothing more he could do, the ball was in Poppy's court now.
