“	Savine had given up trying to understand him. Most of the time, she was the one thing he loved in a world he despised. Then, on occasion, he treated her like a rival to be crushed.	”
	— Savine dan Glokta

Fencing with Father is the fourteenth chapter of A Little Hatred.

Chapter Summary

Savine dan Glokta is at fencing practice with her father¹ as well, although she’s fighting Bremer dan Gorst of course, while the crippled Arch Lector critiques from the sidelines. The years have not been kind to Glokta; he’s scarcely skin and bones, and now gets pushed round in a wheelchair, but his mind is still as sharp as ever. Savine has been fencing since she was a girl, and is a fine swordswoman, though Gorst clearly holds back when fighting her. In frustration, she asks to see him fight like he means it. Gorst glances at her father, who agrees with a shrug. The difference however is astonishing. With shocking speed and strength, Savine is soon sprawled on the floor, her face, her side, and her pride all aching.
