*Edward was silent for moment. Was he scared? A bit nervous perhaps, but not scared, he decided. Although there was a small voice in the back of his head telling him he really was scared. Edward smacked himself on the head. He hated it when his conscience decided to make an appearance; it always showed up at the most inopportune times. He stepped out of the shadows and stared Quasimodo in the eye.*
"I don't like direct confrontation, eh?" *He answered, his fear vying for dominance with his rising anger.* "Are you calling me a coward?"
*He didn't move, merely stared threateningly, daring Quasimodo to make the first move. He didn't think the hunchback would actually do anything.*

*He stared directly back into Hyde's eyes, the growth on his right eyebrow probably making his stare even more disconcerting.*
"Quite possibly."
*He didn't think Hyde woulddo anything and, if he did, he could certainly take him. This was a standoff.*

*Edward tried not to concentrate on the eye partially covered by the growth, which looked awkward, and stared squarely back. His eyes soon began to water and he wracked his brain for ideas of what to do. He certainly didn't want to seem as if he had given in or lost. What could he do? It certainly didn't look as if Quasimodo was going to blink any time soon. Suddenly something occured to him. A moment later he realised his resources were rather limited down here. Well, he could just improvise.*
"No one calls me a coward," *He growled through gritted teeth. His eyes were nearly streaming now. He needed to seize the opportunity. He grabbed Quasimodo by the shoulders, nearly throwing himself off balance since the hunchback's shoulders weren't even, and ran toward a wall, slamming Quasimodo's head against the stone. Then he fled, not looking back to see the outcome, down the nearest the stone passageway in the underground labyrinth.*
