Well, deception certainly goes with disarming, but this suggests that something interesting has happened -- I hope you haven't forgotten when you come to address this comment!
A deception He turned his back and walked away, his eyes staying fixed ahead of him. It was a deception, he was listening for the intake of breath, the start of a protest that he mustn't leave, but as each step took him further away he worried that he might miss that sound. Finally, unable to take it any more, he turned himself, his mind racing for something to say that would explain he was still leaving but there was something that shouldn't go unsaid still. And Juliet was still sitting there, only the red gash across her throat suggested that she'd finally found a use for her decorative, mother-of-pearl-handled knife, and that she wouldn't be insisting that he stay after all.

Greg - I believe I was trying to fool the rat into getting caught by one of the smashing machines I had left out for it.
That's a hell of an ending, didn't see it coming at all. Well done.
