Behind me, I heard the sound of his armor shifting as he took a battle stance.
I waited a moment in a vain hope that he'd attack some foe I couldn't sense. But no attack was forthcoming, and I knew he was waiting for me to turn around. So I spoke without doing so.
"All this time, and now you turn on me?"
"Turn around!"
"Just tell me why, please. I deserve-"
"You deserve nothing, but I'll give you an honorable death! Turn around!"
"No. You attack me from behind if you're-"
I felt the blade, and his honor vanish.
