Even before Shamgar could respond to Odegai Khyriin's refusal to hand over his weapons the royal guard captain stepped into the matter. He began with with making the ridicules and insulting suggestion that the Khitani where plotting something. When the man let a single word slip from his tongue Odegai immediately realized with what kind of man he was dealing. When all the guards removed their helmets it did not came as a surprise anymore to see their pale gray skin. Kreshvi where forming the royal guard. This was either some kind of stupid joke or a sinister plot from this outlandish race of mutated beastlings. As the Kreshvi guard immediately pointed their spears towards the Khitani party he knew his warriors would immediately grab their swords as well. Both the Kreshvi and the Khitani where known for their fighting prowess and their love for battle. A dangerous situation that could turn violent very quickly and could well mean the beginning of the end for the entire kingdom as they knew it. Odegai quickly raised his hand and gave his men a sign to stand down.

For a moment the Khitani warriors where weary of releasing their hands from their sword hilts but as the royal guard stood down they also relaxed their stance. Few of the other lords seemed to have realized that the conflict over the weapons could have escalated very quickly. Not to mention, the situation was far from over. The Khitani still refused to hand over their weapons.

Odegai was not the man to be easily intimidated. The fact that the royal guard where all Kreshvi did not startle the horse lord as he is a very competent warrior himself. Many consider Odegai Khyriin among the best fighters humanity has to offer. For him, battling a Kreshvi seems like a nice challenge, even though the odds would not be in his favor due to the Kreshvi's more powerful physical power. But any experienced fighter knows that there is more needed to win a fight then just raw power. 

Odegai stepped one step closer to the Kreshvi captain as a way to show that he was not intimidated by the fact that he was Kreshvi and looked the pale greyish figure in his eyes. On a firm tone the horse lord spoke "If Kreshvi scum is pretending to be royal guards then there is all the more reason to keep my own security in my own hands. I suggest the other lords do the same. Afterall, these non humans are as trustworthy as the average beastling" The Khan paused for a second before he continued to speak again. "The Khitani will not hand over their weapons to the Kreshvi." The insults and the second refusal would probably intensify the conflict a bit as now both lords have thrown insults at each other. 

That last line the lord of the Endless plains spoke was definitely the most interesting as it was more targeted at Shamgar Paragon then at the Kreshvi captain. It offered a clear diplomatic end to the impasse created by the proud warriors of the plains as Lord Khyriin changed the issue from handing over their weapons to handing them over the Kreshvi.
