Grinlague tells you 'Huh. You've single handedly made me significantly less healthy today,
whereas I was hardly defeated at all before.'

You tell Grinlague 'I would gladly grant you respite from our conflict, if you would take it.'

Grinlague tells you 'Respite means admitting you are a better bladesman. Granted, I am aware that there is a good bit I could do to, even the field, so to speak.'

Grinlague tells you 'Though I still can't get over what, in my opinion, is a gross and horrible advantage in those blades.'

You tell Grinlague 'Would you feel any better if I claimed to have bested four or five dozen opponents before learning their secrets?'

Grinlague tells you 'Yes and no. I find killing magi at our title preposterously easy based on their...squishiness.'

Grinlague tells you 'I've killed a few myself with relative ease, including a few imperial necromancers who in my opinion should have squished me instead.'

You tell Grinlague 'I do not doubt that.'

Grinlague tells you 'So, in a sense, no, it does not make me feel better.'
