Hearing the loud whistle signaling the end of the battle, Lathro dramatically blew the smoke off the barrel of his "Horus," spun it a dozen times on his finger, and with a sharp movement, returned it to its holster. At that moment, he felt like a true, untamed, rogue sharpshooter, but then he looked up at the battlefield, with the swaying figures of allies and opponents, and felt a pang of shame for such a theatrical display.

— Gesper...
— Well, am I wrong?
