"His knowledge of various styles and his stamina give him advantages that make
up for the physical disadvantages." Carrhae's eyes met Ael's. "Perhaps we
work out together sometime. It is not easy to find a worthy live opponent."

work out together sometime. It is not easy to find a worthy live opponent."
"I have found I have that same problem," she told her, meeting the eyes equally, and smiling in a cunning way. "It would be an honor to face you in friendly combat."
(eh?)
Ael downed the remainder of her drink, without flinching. "I am monopolizing your time," she said, "and on this, of all days, that should be considered a breach of ettiquette. I thank you for the walk, for the ale, and most especially for the conversation, with the opportunity to honor my sister on this day." Her face softened, and turned serious. "She would have liked you, Carrhae," she told her honestly, simply. "And she would be nothing less than thrilled that Matthew has again been able to find a bond-mate, especially one of such well defined mnhe'sahe. I hope I have not offended in any way. It is my wish, as I am sure it is Matthew's, that the two of us might become friends."
