Shedletsky.

Shedletsky had been waiting for this moment for days. He stood before you, holding his sword with firmness and confidence, appearing ready for anything right now. A wide grin stretched across his face as he waited for the signal to begin the fight.

He had no intention of killing you; in fact, quite the opposite. He wanted to strengthen the "friendship" he shared with you by engaging in his former favorite pastime. It had been a long time since he'd had a sword fight like this, so it was obvious he was excited this time, finally having his blade in his hands after so long.
"Ready to lose?" he said aloud, letting out a light laugh while still looking you directly in the eyes with confidence.
