You will never do anything in this world without courage.
Zavien laughed - actually laughed - at Tal's reaction, surprising even himself at the sound. It startled him enough to cut the noise short, but the remnant of the smile remained, and he stuck his tongue out in retaliation to the gesture. Then his attack was being thwarted without any signs of effort. He might have praised Tal if not for the fighting words.
The insult had him blinking as his sword fell harmlessly to the ground. "Oh really? Did she leave you that shield when she died?" He wasn't particularly proud of the diss, but he still gave Tal a wink before moving more quickly on his next attack. Zavien kept it simple, going for a downward strike from the left. It wasn't much different from the other ones, although he let the training quicken the motion to near-battle speed.

Zavien
It is the greatest quality of mind next to honor.
