>"Well, let's look at the facts here. I've been walking for ages, while you've been sitting here and resting. You can fly. You have a sword. Thinking about it logically, I can't think of a single good reason to challenge you. It's not a very interesting offer, I'm afraid."

>"Can't give up when I didn't start, I'm afraid. I never said I was to begin with. By the way, I'm Nazrin."
>Offer a handshake.

>You introduce yourself and offer a handshake. The fairy looks at your outstretched hand dubiously.
>"Hey, hey," she says, "we totally started. I was just waitin' for you to get ready. Y'know, sportsmanship and all. But there's only three ways to end a fight: you win, you lose, you give up, or you run away. So what's it gonna be?"

>Keep the hand offered.
>"No no, it's like the great philosopher said, 'it takes two people to start a fight'. And I've not agreed to be in it yet. You're offer's just lousy, I'm afraid."

>You keep your hand extended - rather unfortunately close to the blade, it occurs to you - and continue to reason with the fairy.
>"Lousy? Lousy?" The fairy's brow furrows. "You're only saying that because you know you'll lose. You said it yourself!"

>The fairy's expression looks puzzled. "Guilty?" There's a pause. "...hey, wait, you think I can't take you? I could take you so hard." Her voice is indignant. "You think just 'cause I'm a fairy, I'm a pushover, right? Well, I'm not like those other fairies. I could take down ten of 'em at once. I've beaten humans; I can beat a youkai."
>Her eyes flash confidently, and feel the air around you grow colder. "I'm Cirno, swordsman of ice, and victor of a hundred and eleventy battles!" She appears to do some quick math with her fingers. "Uh, I think."

>Let's not boast how hardcore we are to someone who is clearly spoiling to beat up someone hardcore. We don't need to have Ichirin find us with sword wounds.

>"Can't hurt me," she says. "I'm a fairy; I get better. And who cares about the stupid bridge, anyway?" She scuffs the stone with her foot. "C'mon, just do something."

>Cirno's eyes widen slightly. "You beat up an oni?" There's a pause, then her face slowly widens into a grin. "Ha, maybe you could be a challenge after all."

>How wide is the river, and how deep does it appear to be?

>At the bridge, the river is somewhere around 100 or so feet wide. You think it's relatively shallow, but would still be well over your head by the middle. The current and reflected light from the setting sun make it hard to judge more precisely with a glance.

>Cirno stares at you silently for a few moments. "There's a river right here," she says eventually. "Why'd we need to go all the way to town to drink something?"
