"A child's response." said Tanesha calmly as she waved him away. "And I have no idea what Sovengarde is. Sounds like one of your Tamriel fairy tales to frighten children in the night. Is that why you mention it boy? Because you still believe in the scary stories whispered to you before you slept?" Her arms were widened outwards in a defiant gesture to the way Marven threatened her. A smile curved her lips upwards as she cackled to the sword-wielding boy. "Seasoned? No. Salted maybe. Or perhaps spiced. Any man with a sword can make a claim of their experience yet few are able to prove it. Me? I've wandered the frosted peaks of my lands. Strode along the rolling hills and dales of my home. Then I travelled across the sea to far off lands where the sands were fine and covered a vast world. The sun rose in a violet mist before gracing the land with her rays as if magic was touching the very ground. And now I come to the land where the women are humble warriors with senses of humour....and the men are but boys."<br/><br/>The comment on her clothing didn't sting. If anything it only served to prove her point that he was lying about his experience. "You obviously don't know much." pointed out Tanesha. "You can't climb sheer rock faces, run through forests like a wolf chasing down prey or properly shoot a bow wearing full plate armour. Sure you can take hits but...what requires more skill? Taking hits or just...never being touched? Since you're so interested in wenches though I suggest you find the brothel of this place. I'm sure they cater to little boys which a chip on their shoulder and something to prove. Now. Are you going to leave me alone and go be a boy? Or are you going to act like a man and bow to a lady?"<br/><br/><br/>She watched as Ani walked forward to talk to the man. Probably some good advice. With a nod she crossed her arms again and smirked. "Listen to the woman...she looks like she knows what she's talking about."
