Ragnvard grinned at Kiunguza as he stepped backwards, moving onto more even ground for their match. He had explained what a Challange bout entailed and what it would mean if she won. Truthfully he did not intend to try overly hard to beat her, though certainly he wasn't going to let her get away with an easy fight. He wanted to see the extent of her skills, but he most certainly wanted her to join him. A draw would be ideal, but such things were surprisingly hard to get in a fight. Usually one or the other combatant would make a mistake or score a decisive point.
His heart beat quickened in anticipation as he shifted into a ready stance. This was going to be fun.
