It was a show of faith that he was even playing this game with her, knowing she could kill him if she wholly and truly wanted to. He knew that and yet he had offered her this, trusting in her as much as he held faith in himself that he might make this good for her. He couldn't help but want to impress l'seth, to prove that while he was a different sort of warrior than she was, he could hold his own.

Or try to. It was tough though, jumping back, ducking down and almost flinching into her torso blow. The sound he made may have been a yelp but he'd never admit it, ducking in and trying to slide the blade into her thigh, a quick death blow he'd used numerous times but never in actual combat. His job was much easier because his targets rarely knew he was coming.
