Damian didn't wait long after Hyun fell unconscious that Damian moved. Most in the crowd assumed the Blade of Phoenix Wing would leave the field and not bother with the fallen wizard, letting her deal with her problems herself. But no, he sheathed the large dragon fang blade and called to a guild mate. [color=FireBrick]"Zenoram, get down here!"[/color] He'd already set to getting some small pieces of first aid gear, but the sound of a weapon being drawn in the stands did not escape his ears, though it wasn't any sound he was familiar with. And he rounded on the other guild. He met the eyes of each Frenzy Plant member as they looked into the arena, and shook his head at what he saw. He knew that there were lacrima planted in key areas around the arena to catch every movement and sound. And he decided to use this time to address Frenzy Plant directly.

[color=FireBrick]"Frenzy Plant, the guild of soldiers. Men and women who share the same bond of camaraderie that Phoenix Wing, Dragon Fang and the other guilds here share with each other but claim to be all the better because they have the discipline of a military unit. And yet, I see the same sense of anger that would take Phoenix Wing if Hyun's and I's positions were switched. I understand that anger, I would feel it myself under the circumstances. But she did not fail like you think. She might think so, but thrones and the loyalties of royal subjects are fleeting and change on a whim. Where as the bonds she has forged as a member of your guild are lasting and much stronger. Here, she's not just another noble who's got her eyes on the throne, she's a person who you all care about and would put your lives on the line for.

You payed tribute to her. But she still lost, and no matter what I have to say, you can't forgive that.  So, rather than risk my guild members and teammates getting caught in the crossfire, I'll meet any one of you in single combat in a location of your choice. But we fight without magic, as Hyun and I fought. I'll see you at the end of today's festivities."[/color]

He returned to patching up the wounds on Hyun after retrieving her katanas and their scabbards, letting Zero, search for and extract any poison that might have come from Durandal from the wounds. He wouldn't let his guildmates be put in danger because a group of wizards claiming to be soldiers decided they had a chip on their shoulders at the fact that one of their own lost. But he also knew that it was only fair, as he didn't think Hyun would want a rematch at the end of all this, if she ever found it in her to wake up.

Wrapping the last bit of bandage around the cut on her arm, he waved off the medics who were trying to see to his own wounds as he lifted the unconscious woman off the ground, keeping the arm he'd dislocated braced against himself. [color=FireBrick]"I've had much worse than this, I'm fine. Just point me to the infirmary."[/color] The medics hesitated but finally nodded and he patted Zero's shoulder in thanks as he followed them. This was going to be a long week.
