No, that is part of the reason I was so angry. To my understanding, we were just playing to pass time. There was no wager and even if there had been, I would never have agreed to have another person be the wager. [Especially not Grainne.]
I pulled my weapon to threaten him so that he would back off, but to my great surprise, Grainne got to her feet and went to his side. On top of that, she pulled her knife and stabbed me in the thigh to keep me from attacking. Her excuse? At least this man was paying attention to her and had touched her more than I had.
I acted rashly and in anger then. I killed the man and then left her in the cave to think of what she had done. It didn't matter to me that it was raining or that I still had a knife in my thigh. I ignored it and tried to calm myself. I wanted to understand why she acted like that, but I really could not. I know she gave up everything to run off with me and free herself from my lord, but did she not understand what I had been forced to do myself? Did she not understand me?
