"To teaching annoying bastards a lesson." The orcess replied in turn, accepting the toast that way, clicking her glass against his mug briefly before taking a new long sip. Seeming to think of something seriously for a moment she looked at him after the drink, and seemed to consider his question for the moment. She gave a tap to the glass' rim after emptying it.<br/><br/>"Couple more at least. I can probably spill some of that. There's a bit of a tradition up north, to test your might. Suffice to say, that goes for women as well as men, though a lot of women seem to only bother with enough strength to defend the hearth while the men are away, but some consider pursuing it further." She hummed, watching the bartender return to pour her a drink, and moving to check if Tehr wanted something.<br/><br/>The orcess swirled the liquid in her glass a moment before sipping on it, sighing heavily afterwards. "Suffice to say, a woman that was training hard enough to beat up the competition not just among women but men drew some attention. Lots of lads with a chip on their shoulder wanted to defeat me and 'make me their woman'. Some of them fought pretty dirty, too. I even had my weapons messed around with. Thankfully, I'd picked up a lot of lessons and learned early on that only weapons you can rely on are the ones that you take with you everywhere."<br/><br/>She tapped her right hand's knuckles with her left, shrugging somewhat at this. "Couple of them were flat out challenges, a couple of them tried to jump me when I was just bathing intending to take me by surprise. Attacking a naked woman in the middle of a pond bathing? Dishonorable, but it turned against them. You see, not only am I a good fighter, but a good swimmer too." She smiled in a devious way. "Some fools tried chasing me to the middle of the little lake with the small isle there. Unlike me, they were pretty much wiped out on reaching the shore, and got wiped out easily." She shrugged againg, watching him.<br/><br/>Finishing that third glass, she waved for a yet another. She had drank a fair share of stuff, but yet kept going without any obvious, outward signs of intoxication at least. Yet the smell of cooking rabbit stew was rising to the air. Thickening in it, the scent of wild meat compared to tamed animal's meat.<br/><br/>"Suffice to say, eventually I couldn't even be learning more in the same place, constant attacks getting tiresome. Didn't help that a lot of the women were angry I was making them look bad while they wanted to have the place of most capable woman, and so draw the best lads."
