"Confident as always. Some would say such confidence will not always hold up." Tyrhallan watched the man shift to a more suitable battle stance. He could sense Leo was adjusting and raising his ki, probably as much as he was. The only difference was where they chose to send that energy. To Tyr it was spend in a single fraction. What good were barriers and walls when your opponent was already within one's own inner circle. No way to deflect, all that was needed was one strike. It was his preferred method of fighting. Like a Viper or a Falcon swooping down with outstretched talons. He was about to oblige Leo for once, knowing the young man’s reputation and love for the deathly dance. It would be a good way to warm up indeed and to allow the man to lose some that unspent eager rage. That need for a fight, a gnawing feeling that would overcome every warrior, even someone like himself fell to its powers when he was not careful. With the battle closing in on them, this might be his only reprieve before the storm. Tyrhallan needed to silence his own troubled mind, he was about to respond when he noticed that Leo had noticed their spectators. Or rather the mage who had been quite ready to use his magic on them. Hearing Leo's words however made him roll his eyes in resignation, could the young man find some more wisdom in the silence of his tongue instead of using it to start another fight to release the bottled up desires. He was itching for a fight all right, by all accounts he best prevent the fool from being burst into flames. He turned as well facing the mage and those behind him with a stern but friendly expression, holding up his hand in a gentle gesture. "All is well, there is no need for your well-meant interference Battle Mage. Keep your watchful eye though, for I believe it will prove lifesaving in the battle to come. Be assured for I have control over this particular situation.” To Leo he send a look of [i]‘Don’t goad them. This is not the time.’ [/i]
