He's left that behind him; even if he hadn't, he could never turn a blade in her direction now. She's thoroughly defeated him.

It's a clear view out onto the bay of the area they're in, with the water blending away into the sea on one side of the horizon; some rather impressive houses are lined up along the coast on the other side, small from where they're standing, but undoubtedly not-so-small in person. It's not quite late enough yet for the sun to be setting, but the view then would have to be fantastic.
