Much like the ending of Ridley Scott’s “The Duelists”: “By every rule of single combat, your life now belongs to me. Is that not correct? I shall simply declare you dead. In all of your dealings with me, you will do me the courtesy… to conduct yourself as a dead man.”
And so Thess moves from being a rookie warrior herself, to someone strong and moral in her philosophy.

Glad she survived (wonder if she will now get a name?), and the rookie shaman, they are going to need a new one now the old has been Breen’d
