this is the worthwhile fight
(Edwin x Robin, The Last Binding, rated T)
Robin comes home from his boxing club with an injury. Luckily, Edwin's on hand to help. Set post-A Marvellous Light.
‘No, really,’ Robin protested. ‘He’s new; he just got rather overenthusiastic, I think. He felt very badly about it. Wouldn’t stop apologising.’
‘As well he should,’ Edwin said, indignation rising. ‘I may join Maud on her mission to avenge you if she’s not already set off across London.’
‘Then I really ought to warn him. He’s not even a magician. At least, I don’t think so. Hell of a right hook, though.’
Edwin sniffed. ‘I’m sure it’s not as good as yours.’
‘You don’t know the first thing about boxing,’ Robin reminded him, with a small smile.
‘No, but I know things about you, and I’d bet on you every time.’
