If you're surprised to see a pretty blonde girl in white and silver armor and with a giant broadsword appear suddenly in the bar - you've probably not been coming to Milliways for long.
But if you are surprised by this occurrence, take a moment to think of how Teresa might feel. See, five seconds ago she was about to perform the nearest thing her people have to a mercy killing.
Four seconds ago she heard the clunk clunk clunk of her sword bouncing along the stony ground. With her hands still holding it.
Three seconds ago she had seen her approaching death, with no way of preventing it without sword or hands.
Two seconds ago she was watching the sky as her head tumbled backwards through the air.
One second ago she was wondering what would happen to...
And now, she's suddenly here, fully intact, silver eyes staring at the aforementioned giant broadsword in her still-attached hands.
Then she smiles, and slides that sword into place behind her cape. If she's dead, she may as well get on with being dead
