They seemed to be comparing weapons, definitely the violent sort. Maybe people that Braen would want to avoid... but at the same time violent people might make good allies... and would definitely make effective Gods when dealing with those who don't behave. Hold on, now he was thinking like one of those people who had complete faith in this contest, he was just here to check it out though. None the less though, if he could try to make some friends this may work to his advantage, and if he fails... worst happens is that Braen dies. It's not like he really had much to live for at the moment though anyways.

He decided to start it off easy, simply by making a remark to the weapons of the two saying "Those look like good weapons. You two use them often?".
