Dagger may not look it, but that is one thing he up holds and that is honor.  Plus he didnâ€™t like weapons any ways. He smirks, â€œYouâ€™re on.â€ He says to him. That is another thing about him, he liked challenges and would never back down to one. He knew he could probably beat him with both. And he was glad that this wouldnâ€™t offend Aleera or upset her.  But he was wondering about how the out come of this would come out. He wanted to prove that he was no ordinary sireling that could be taken advantage of and that he wasnâ€™t as weak as he appeared to be. â€œAnd you know what to make this even a greater challenge, why donâ€™t we have the whole entire coven watch us?â€ he asks still with a smirk on his face.  He actually wanted to prove to all of them in the coven that he wasnâ€™t what he appeared to be. Of course he knew Aleera knew that already. He then just stood there waiting for Nathans answer to his question and also he waited for him to lead him to where they would be fighting. Now that Nathan had issued this challenge, Dagger was even more ready to fight.
