Kaus,

It appears you have missed one of the key concepts of my response. You
insult the Maldaathi House and its members ability to conduct themselves
with honour. If you had actually taken the time to read my post, you
would have seen that I specifically mentioned the terms of your
enemying. Let me quote for you my own words, "The enemying was for no
such thing. It was for foolishly insulting the honour of the Maldaathi
which you have now done with your own words before all of Sapience."

You say that I am "pointlessly seeking conflict." My purposes for
initiating a rivallry with you can hardly be considered part of that
category. I have challenged you for insulting the honour of the
Maldaathi. I find this neither pointless nor seeking conflict by my
terms as honour is something all Maldaathi Knights hold with high
regard. It is by this concept that we are judged, and it is only fitting
that we defend it. When I mentioned "pointlessly seeking conflict," I
referred to the fact that you had no real reason to be challenging any
Maldaathi beyond just searching for a reason to fight.

As for considering you someone I had never heard of, I do apologize.
Unlike you, I do not keep notes of every person I have sparred or
duelled in the numerous years of my life. I will, however, stand by my
statement that, up until now, you were not someone I would take
particular notice of in regards to the Maldaathi.

In faithful Service to the Lords,
Lady Istiria Dread, Knight of the Maldaathi
