"I was not making an assignment, merely a prediction." Saras clarified, though their concerns quickly shifted after Marod's comments. In several ways, Meesei did agree with Lunise, but she avoided being so direct with Marod regarding her thoughts on it. Her expression was cold, and mostly emotionless towards Lunise. 

"Regardless of what opinions Marod himself may or may not have, I am sure it is not him who would get to make that decision anyway. I am sure we all know how irrational politicians when there is some 'advantage' to be gained." She said, casting her gaze onto Marod. "Even if it means endangering their entire nation. But, I hold this position because I have never lost such a challenge, so ideally, it shall not be an issue. Although, if you can convince your superiors to send a champion or two of their own to participate in the duels, then it might pressure them to accept the results, regardless of what they may be. It is unwise for any nation to renege on their diplomatic agreements. Now, unless there are any other points to be made, I do not believe there is much more we can meaningfully discuss right now. Not without having spoke to your respective superiors. I can take you both back to them as soon as possible, if you wish." Meesei offered.
