Konstantin says to Aesop, "Yes, I will teach. You have things to teach me as well. We all have things we can teach, or learn."
Konstantin locks eyes with Headstrong. He says nothing for several moments, then finally nods and says "I believe you to be a warrior who has a sense of honor and who wishes to show her full strength. We will fight, with those limited tricks of the blood allowed, and none other."
He calls out to the others, "We have another challenge! Headstrong has asked that blood abilities involving strength, speed, healing and toughness be allowed, and I have consented, as these do not changes this from being a challenge of warriors. Make a circle. Watch, perhaps learn."
Konstantin's hands flex and his nostrils flare. Blood pumps through his dead veins, tightening and strengthening his muscles, making the tendons in his hands and neck stand out like steel cables. At the same time, his skin takes on a thicker, leathery appearance. He takes a step back, holding his spear with both hands, sweeping his spear in front of him, keeping the point moving, yet always trained on Headstrong, always between the two of them.
