''My sword is my life. My sword is my reason. You are... So beautiful... Your blade and mine are different, yet... Your swordplay is truly beautiful. Very well. I will join you.''

''Even now, I can barely restrain my blade. It longs to bathe in your blood, to test your steel. The thought alone makes my blood boil.''

''I’ve been watching you. Watching you fight. You have natural gifts, honed well in battle. Your sword arm is much improved.''
