Well... the first time was because we were in the country that forced everyone who came to it into a tournament to win the right to citizenship. We were both finalists who managed to force all of our opponents to surrender instead of killing anyone, but neither of us wanted to surrender to the other, so we fought.

The second time, I was hired as a guard while traveling on a country made up of ships that would take people across the water. He chose to live among the people during that time instead, so when he started to approach the elders of the country, I had to step in. It seems the reason he did that was because the ships were falling apart though, so I ended up accompanying him to see the elders ourselves.

The usual.]
