"It sounds pretty naive to just assume that this is going to end without anyone dead" Nathan responded with a hint of venom in his voice "These people just barged in and all but demanded something that belonged to the king, I don't see this ending well for everyone. I figure the most I can do is try to draw some fire to myself. If I get them annoyed enough, I might just be their first target. That guy with the book looks like he might be the easiest to provoke, which is good because in my experience, spell casters aren't the fastest killers, which I assume he is based on his weapon of choice. Considering how long his attack is likely to take, by the time he's killed me, everyone else will have had ample time to ready themselves. The longer this goes on, the more time they have to plan out their attack. The way I see it; our best bet is to force their hand by making them attack someone expendable, namely me. That way, everyone else will have a good opportunity to counter attack. I don't see anyway for everyone to walk out of here alive. This is what happens when to people unwilling to back down for anything clash; people die. If we're lucky, I'll be our only causality" he finished as he put his swords away. He wasn't going to need them anymore
