【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十九章：时光 Time(14)
“I’m getting faster, though,” she smirked at me as she collapsed onto the couch. “Or you’re getting slower, I nearly hit you that bout.”

Her comment set my hackles up, and I hoped it was only in jest. It probably was, given her lack of gravity and concern but still…
I was getting slower.
Only by the narrowest of marks, so narrow that only I could possibly be noticing it, but I could feel it nonetheless.
Her strikes were growing closer every day, if only by the width of a blade’s edge, and that wasn’t to say she was not improving but no one improves that quickly against a Wych of my experience. Besides, it wasn’t just her speed… I could feel the chill biting a little deeper every day, and my limbs took breathes longer every morning to warm up.
