After all of that that was this guy's reaction? Basil would have burst out laughing in disbelief if it were not for the fact how dangerous this situation was. He was either fearless or he didn't really believe him. The young noble squinted at him. [color=8493ca]"That's it? [i]Just[/i] a battle?"[/color] 

This was annoying. He couldn't read this guy at all. Was this guy just indifferent to everything or was this guy just trying to prove a point about Basil being completely in over his head? On one hand Basil wanted to fight him and get some reaction out of this dull face, but on the other hand he wanted to find Stella. He could refuse, there was no reason for Basil to accept his challenge after all, but he'd just be running away. Maybe he could, but then it would just eat away at him. He was a trainer now and a trainer accepted any challenge thrown at them. 

Basil took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. [color=8493ca]"You know what? Fine. Bring it on then."[/color] Somehow, he got the feeling that this was going to be a rough one.
