He didn't understand what she said, but he could ask her later, right now he needed to keep a level head. So when he reached her he was not smiling he had a more clam and collected look on his face. He offered his left hand as he never shook with his right hand he gave her hand a good shake as he did a little bow. He said nothing and unless she stopped him he would then head back to his sword and remove it from the ground and unwrap it to reveal the actual sword as he stood there waiting for the fight to start.
