Bohdan was grateful for both the food and the tea.  He had to do his best not eat eat too quickly and tried to be as gentle as he could with his hosts' glassware.  "That is a most kind offer indeed.  I'd feel quite guilty accepting... unless you mean what I believe you do about 'getting out,' and are serious." he said.  "I also appreciate your advice, I'll try to apply it to my fighting in the future.  It's easy to see how you won, taking my style into consideration.  I've had training too, you see, but not in nuance.  When I was small, I was in awe of the ronso warriors who used a style they called berserking.  Something has always appealed to me about a fighting style that teaches you to put everything you have into each blow, but evidently it's far more effective when you're behind a spear."

"As for my quest, as you've said, I've basically already given you the long and short of it.  I want to better myself as much as I can, and to eventually use what I have for the betterment of others.  Perhaps my first real opportunity to do this lies in Macalania. There isn't much else to say yet, because in truth I have more or less just started."
