And the sword scene..
She's defiant and fearless as she practices her moves - when he enters to see an interesting competitor having taken over his usual playground!
He's passionate - both, about the sword and about the woman standing in front!
They battle it out, without giving each other any leeway... they treat each other like proper opponents...after all, they are equals in their own might...
And after it all.. when Jalal places his sword against her neck, close to her, observes her slowly and then removes her veil... she doesn't even twitch - because she knows the power of her beauty and at the same time, her mind is making ten calculations as to when she could grab back her weapon and turn the duel in her favor...at least, to escape!
Once she takes advantage of his brief distraction, she clutches back her weapon, spins around and places her sword on his shoulder now...
As she does so, her tresses fall open.. she notes it for a second, but cares not...
He stands defeated, yet happy - he'd lost his heart once again!
'T'was not the fault of my skills as much as twas the fault of your beauty' he states!
