Elanorwen,

You have challenged me as a coward, and though I abide by no code of
morals and ethics that give weight to such words, it was a challenge
issued by you none the less. So I shall return your challenge of words
with a challenge of action. Consider this an open invitation to meet me
in singles combat whenever you are so inspired. Be it Night or day, be
it when I am hunting or watching the leaves grow. The time and arena are
yours to choose.


This coward welcomes you in combat. So come, mighty Ascendant, make this
coward tremble and flee.


I do not much care for these displays of prowess and ego, but as one who
accuses another of cowardice, I can only assume you desire to see
bravery. So I have offered it to you. Yet we both know you shall not
accept, nor shall you ever, for it is not me that is frighetened by the
sight of my own blood.

Tremble in silence, it suits you.
