Instead, he held up his sheathed sword cane, ready to defend himself. His pile in his free arm wobbled, but didn't quite topple over yet. He didn't answer right away, trying to decide whether a fight on his first day to be secretive was worth it. It probably wasn't.]

If it makes you feel any better, I did die because of that.
