[Ansteorra] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 11, Issue 37

When Derek was brought up to the point, carried by several trimarian 
fighters who had been near him, he was still out of it to the point I had to 
give the Chiurgens his personal info. According to a knight who had been 
near them, the only thing the Ansteorran fighter had said was "was that a 
good hit?" I have no doubt that the fighter may actually have apologized 
while still on the field, for Derek wasnt truly "all there" for several 
hours after the battle. It just would have been nice for him to find us 
personally. I know one of our Youth fighters from trimaris was accused of 
hitting too hard, and he was sent down that evening to find his opponent and 
apologize.
