"I'm asking you," she says. "You put up a good fight. I've been trained by the best and I've had lots of time to practice my skills, but I could definitely tell you're able to hold your own in a fair match. So, how many? No need to be modest."

Caedra wouldn't consider their encounter a fair fight. Rita is strong, but without spellcasting it's just too hard to evenly match Caedra's abilities. Still, Rita does probably have endurance going for her since the casting is pretty draining and she can only do so much of it.

Not that it matters too much either way, but sizing people up and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses is just good practice. You never now who will turn on you next.
