"I thought that would've been obvious," Travis replied, keeping his runes still trained on Roy, "you're in our way and as I currently see it, you don't have too many options at the moment."

Beginning a negotiation with Roy wasn't exactly the intended plan he had in mind but he believed that removing a threat from the field without expending any more of mana or strength was more efficient than continuing the fight. Morally though, he didn't fancy the idea of finishing him off given the lessened state he was now in. Travis casually shifted his posture slightly, only to show his right hand lengthened out and controlling the runic circles while his left was moved out of view. Knowing better however than to expect full honesty from the former witch hunter, Travis began channeling mana into his hidden hand as a contingency.

"Unless you want to try and prove me wrong right now, this would perhaps be a good time to surrender while you're still breathing."

[i]Wow, that sounded a lot more minatory than I thought...[/i]
