[ Delivered to the runner-up of the melee via messenger. ]
"Berserker",
I'd like to congratulate you on two hard-fought matches. There are very few men that I have seen that can do what you have done with their bare hands. As such, in the name of sportmanship, I'd like to offer 500 gold marks to you to do with as you please. If you are still in Treun, I would very much like to deliver the gold in person.
[Sent back with the same messenger comes a letter in the hand of the other side of him, which did not fight in the tournament. Any words exchanged between them during their fights were no doubt the very opposite of what is written. Hyde is too bitter a loser.]
Ser Cullen, What a kind and generous offer, it is most civil of you, Ser. Normally I could not possibly accept such great generosity, yet for the sake of charity towards others, I must graciously accept, with all due thanks.
I shall meet you outside the stands, at your leisure.
Humbly yours, Henry Jekyll, M.D., D.C.L., LL.D., F.R.S., D.Sc.
[The slew of titles brought to you not in vanity but for a show of respect instead toward Cullen, to show his deepest sincerity by...presenting it like a legal document.]
