Let me tell you the story. She and her soldiers were in the harbour and the people were upset, screaming at them. One of them insulted her father and she attacked the villager, punching him a few times. He begged for mercy, and when she reached back to hit him again, I grabbed her arm and asked her to stop.
[Sinbad was afraid of no one.]
She turns her angry eyes on me and says 'Sinbad!' and let me tell you, it was a wonderful sight, this beautiful girl who remembers my name. A princess on top of that! [He laughs.]
Unfortunately, my comment about her being a beautiful girl seemed to make her mad. Something about calling her a 'girl'. She draws her sword and stands there, challenging me. I try and tell her that I don't like to hurt girls, but that didn't matter much to her.
She was relatively skilled, although it's not very sporting to swing your sword at an unarmed man. On her third strike she cut into my arm, completely impressed with herself because she coats her blade with poison. Her attendants are going on in awe of her skill and doubting mine. I couldn't help myself, I began to laugh for moments before when I was avoiding her blade, I got my hands on her antidote. She reaches for her waist, completely horrified that I had my hand there and she hadn't even noticed!
[His grin widens.]
She moved in such away that my trap was set off, her bodice falling off her shoulders, nearly exposing her to the crowd, although she caught it and hid her chest at that moment. I took that time to sneak in there and I wrapped an arm around her and with a laugh I whisked her away as my hostage. I needed to get out of Parthevia and she was a great help in that.
I carried her to my ship and steered out a little way to sea. As soon as I knew I could get away I slipped her into a barrel and left her in the ocean Don't worry, she was safe and her soldiers rescued her, but it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
