[Huh. Who knew the kid with the weirdly vocal sword obsession was actually thoughtful?]
[Zelgadis lowers his sword and cuts off his spell (which is essentially useless if he's not fighting someone with astral abilities anyway), turning the blade back to its normal brushed-metal coloration. And there is a significant scowl at Tyki's name.] That guy doesn't care about a fair fight. He's a Demon, even if he doesn't call himself that.
That aside, you can't warn someone that you don't play nicely and then expect them to somehow know what you can and can't do. You're making a lot of assumptions about what I'll do before we've even begun to fight. [He's not angry in the slightest, just stating facts.] Likewise, you know nothing about my abilities or whether they'll be unfair. I've lost to swordsmen before even with my magic.
Anyway, wouldn't it be a worse insult if I went easy on you?
