Ah, that could be the twist ending. Asta is evil!

Anyway- post is up.

Right! Stab her!

Seriously - writing post now, does anybody want to step in and keep Aldarion from drawing or is it OK for Coldan to recognize the tool?

we'll probably cross, but I think it's ok. Sador's come up with a new internal racial jibe for Coldan by the way; I shall try and vary it from post to post from now on and look forward to the proper deployment of the word "Khanding"

Most chivalrous behaviour on Sador's part!
I considered having Coldan launch himself at Aldarion and grapple for his sword hand (would have been much more consistent and dramatic), but with the bloody-mindedness phantom has been displaying recently, I decided not to take any risks.

I like Variag, by the way. I imagine Dorwinians and Easterlings a bit like Russians and Tatars, respectively, so it's quite fitting.

He already stopped himself from drawing, don't worry. The only way he'll pull it out is if Asta actually attempts to do him harm with her weapon. Perhaps I have given the wrong impression concerning his thirst for sword related violence?

Aldarion is in fact extremely careful, which is why it would be in character for him to kill someone (if that makes any sense). In other words, he doesn't wish to provoke violence (because of the risks involved to all parties), but he will swiftly attempt to kill or incapacitate (chop off arms/hands) if he is forced into it. Someone else swinging a weapon at him qualifies as "forcing" him into action, as quite clearly someone swinging a weapon at him is an attempt to kill or seriously maim him. Also I strongly suspect he'd give a lady, extremely old person, or child some benefit of doubt in such situations (i.e. he'd defend or use the flat of the blade).

So really, no need to worry about him going on a rampage. He's very business-like with his violence.

Nerwen, when I said that Asta had a "dangerous" look, it could be Thiliel's interpretation and imagination. She could misenterpret any look into what she thinks the look should be.

Just thought I'd say that.

Hopefully Branor's melodramatic, solo performance of the events is amusing. Off to DC and Mount Vernon tomorrow! Yes I'm hyper this morning.

But there are bits of sincerity from Branor. I will add that everything expressed about Therian are Branor's own opinions of the young lad, and may or may not be the same as Therians.
