[ You really aren't going to get much out of him this time. Just this face because he completely means what he's about to say and he wants it to set people off. ]

Well, that battle could have stood to be bloodier, eh?

It was not that hard to be covered in a naga's blood and entrails, you know. Or, you could have tried for a dragon. Nothing wrong with big game.

[Paint her tone... unimpressed.]

I'm something of an aficionado of big game, miss. I tried for plenty and brought down all of 'em. I've still seen bloodier battles.

mmm, you helped to bring down one of the buzzards, did you? I was away from the front the first day. Were you craving more of a challenge? There was still greater game on the field.

[Was she daring him to challenge Surt to a duel?

...

Maybe.]

'Helped'? Far from it, chum. I helped no one. Had quite enough of armies when the lot of 'em can't do their jobs. I fought for the excitement, not for the cause.

As for there being more of a challenge, who or what might that be? I'm afraid I'm not up to date on the politics of it all.

Watch for the big one on the boar next time. Big enough you can see the ugly mother fucker from across the battlefield. That's about as big as they get. You want a challenge, there's your man.

[Yep. That's exactly what she's doing. Giving him something to focus on killing... that and probably setting him up for getting himself killed.]

Oh, that ugly bastard? [ He chuckles. ] No doubt his boar is more dangerous than he is. Consider the challenge accepted.

[ If he gets excitement out of it, he'd be completely cool with any outcome. ]

You might just be right. At the very least, you can probably cook up a pig steak when you're done with it. Happy hunting with that.
