Leval watched Rowan as she read the board, the small amount of her face that he could see looked surprised and then some other more complex emotion that he could not make out. She rose and pulled her hood further down her face, blocking Leval's view of her expression. She rose to the middle of the room where the fighting would no doubt occur, and started drawing something on the floor.[color=fff200]'She must be a necromancer then,'[/color] Leval realized. None of the other classes of magic he knew of made use of summoning circles. [color=fff200]'I suppose she is preparing to fight, still though she seemed pretty drained.'[/color] 

He had seen her just before the fight listings were revealed,clutching her head, she seemed like she was more injured then she let on. If he fought her, she would most likely lose simply due to her exhaustion and he could take a terrific first impression on the other students. Especially if he could take out the summoning circle early. On the other hand, fighting someone weakened who had shown him respect even in his real form seemed simply wrong. However, not fighting might insult her as a dismissal. Sweat broke out over his brow and his head sank lower to the table. [color=fff200]'Gah.'[/color]

Leval stood, brooding over his choice.
He strode over to Rowan, hands in his pockets. He stopped a fair distance away.[color=fff200]"Are you sure you want to fight now? You are exhausted.  I can conjure false weapons to practice drills. That way you can have energy for the 3x3 battle. There isn't a penalty for not fighting now. If we are to fight, I would prefer that you had the energy for it. But I will accept your decision whatever it is."[/color]
