Regardless of whether or not there is anyone to read it. I can't leave these characters alone. *grin* They're too beautiful.

Title:  A Worthy Foe
Rating:  PG-13
Characters/Pairings:  Chicot, Bussy, random assassins
Continuity:  Set about a year before the events of Chicot the Jester (ie 1577)
Summary:  In the book, Saint Luc proposes to fight Chicot to relieve his boredom in his imprisonment. Bussy advises strongly against it, saying that Saint Luc must know Chicot is a 'rough swordsman'. So ... how did Bussy know that? Had he seen Chicot fight? Fought against him? *grin* Hence this fic, in which assassins attack Chicot, and Bussy gets in the middle of it.
