[Sauveterre takes the offered hand with gratitude and steadies himself before jumping down off that massive axe. He lands graceful before Taashath and sheathes his swords. They have no need for weapons now that the duel has ended.]

I could've but that would leave Thedas without another champion. [He says with a genial smile as he wipes the blood off his brow. There's a bothersome cut at the edge of his hairline that is bleeding profusely. Alayre doesn't seem too bothered by it though.]

Remind me to never lock horns with a qunari again.

[He laughs quietly.]

I didn't think I could either. The Melody Moon is quite sharp but never once did I think it was possible.
