Rex saw the bandit start begging like a dog while trying to lick his boots, but then he felt sick right away and wanted to end him.
But then...
A shadow moved behind him too quickly for Rex to see it, even though Foresight had warned him ahead of time. Then the bandit was on the ground with Iris Morr Nightwing's boot on his back and a dagger at his throat.
"Stay down," Iris said in a calm voice, and the bandit did not move.
She looked up at Rex, and her face went from being neutral to possibly amused. "Oh! It's you, Rex! It's funny to see you here."
"Iris," Rex said, keeping his voice steady. "I could say the same thing."
She got up, kept her dagger ready but didn't threaten anyone, and looked around the camp with the trained eye of someone who had done this kind of search many times before. "Did you come to look for survivors or information?"
"Information," Rex said. "I wasn't expecting survivors to be a bonus."
"Me too," Iris said.
