Thogan grinned as he had forced her back a couple of steps. The look of surprise on her face told him he had done something no one else had done is some time. "Well now as you said the sword is only a part of it. I have never seen any one as skilled as you are. My troops could learn a thing or two from you I think." he watched her circle and he knew she would be coming at him with everything she had. He watched her arms and her legs as she moved, he would know when she would attack by the slightest movement of her feet and her arms. Long hours each day of studying the moves of his warriors as they practiced with him had taught him where to look and what every slight movement predicted. She might be an elf, but all swordmanship revolved around the way one moved.<br/><br/>"Well now I did not see that coming." he looked at Pegawen and chuckled. "Ah I see that he impressed you as well. He might be human, but it looks as if he was taught by and elf, though that is not possible in this part of the world at the moment." Then he heard the Hobbits asking about dinner. He turned to them and smiled, "Yes it is ready I believe. Best watch on a full stomach then an empty one." He helped Pegawen dish up the food for the two, Timberlane and themselves as Allassiel and Thorgan kept at their sparing. He then sat next to Pegawen to continue to watch.<br/><br/>The two Hobbits took their stew and Elven bread and went to sit again and watch the sparing match still arguing over who was the best of the two.
