When I come out of it, I see Tull dancing on the shockwire. I see his hub shield go black. My left shoots forward like a speedertrain, and his hub explodes in a spray of sparks along with the emitters on my mitt. Most of the bones in my hand shatter. The blow drives him in between the bouncewires. He goes tumbling out of the wedge and lands on one of the pricey tables, shattering glasses and dinnerware, sending food and swells flying. I almost go with him. I grab the vertex post and totter there.

It’s Torel Vorne’s table and I’m serving Barabel. Vorne’s standing there trembling, his suit spackled with micromite pate. Moff Ammar’s flat on his back, spluttering through a busted cigarra.

I look right into Torel Vorne’s eyes… and I laugh through the blood, through the count.

I reel backwards as the buzzer sounds. Tull’s moving, but not to stand. Stitchy catches me and I almost crush him. I fall into Cus’ arms. The Rodian grabs my wrist and I almost send him to the floor. He tries again and raises it up. He says my name — it’s the first thing he’s said I’ve understood all night. The Dool Arena erupts and the holocam droids’ flashcubes pop off like a firing squad all around me. Cus keeps me up while Stitchy puts the glittering sash over my dead shoulder.

Tull’s helped to his feet by his MD and the Arconan. Vorne, Moff Ammar, and the swells are gone.
