[ to be fair, as soon as ludger realized what was happening, he knew this punch was coming. there was really no other way for this to go. was it worth it? ...hm, it was hard to say at the moment, all things considered. perhaps everything in his head stopped rattling, he could take a few minutes to ponder the very mystery that was that question.
either way, he takes a second to catch his breath and rub his chin, still smarting from that right hook. maybe he should consider himself lucky - he knows how strong milla is, so if she had wanted to knock him out, he probably would be.
of course, all that follows that realization is awkward silence. because really, what else could possibly follow what just happened?
its almost a game of chicken to see who will break first and say something. and, as always when it comes to these things, ludger loses. ]
I... [ hm. ] Okay, now I get what you were talking about.
this is what it means to be a xillia
