The Imperial flinched. Not much got past his eyesight... or hearing...

"Now", he said and pointed at Koldri with a crude hand-axe. "That right there is an offense against a man of the Emperor. And now you must be made to pay. But seeing as you probably wouldn't want to get your hands dirty by fighting a coward, such as myself, I will pick someone else to bear the outcome of your slander."

He looked around expectantly at the group. "Hmm", he murmured and rubbed his knuckles. "You all seem so... fragile... somehow... Would be a waste to collect payment from people healthy and fresh."

He then sneered and spun around to look down on Ran. "But what about you, eh? You are not fit to fight. How do you feel about taking a blow for your people?"

"Please", wheezed Ran, clearly in pain. "Let us..."

The Khajiit was interrupted as the bearded Imperial clenched his fist and sent a punched him right in the face, sending Ran'Jinro to the ground with a surprised cough. What followed was a vicious barrage of equally hard punches.

"Stop!" exclaimed Myrdana in a plea, before she was apprehended by the hands of a nearby Outsider. "Please, stop! You are killing him!"

But the bearded man did not stop. And by the time the Imperial was done, Ran'Jinro was breathing slowly. His face was swollen up beyond recognition and one of his eyes was protruding from its socket. He was bleeding severily and groaned slightly as he writhed in the snow.

The Imperial stepped away from the beaten Khajiit, smiling to the audience before delivering one last kick into Ran'Jinro's chest, taking the breath completely out of the Khajiit. Ran'Jinro rolled over to the side with a sigh, and from this point it was difficult to tell whether or not the Khajiit was still alive.
