Arn lowered his arms when Leo addressed him.  He cancelled his connection with Gia and the casting ceased immediately.  The feeling in his stomach dissipated and his heart rate went back to normal. He gave Leo a quizzical look. Most of sarcasm was lost on the battle mage. He wondered why there was an annoyed feeling in the air. 

Apparently, he had walked in on another Knightly duel.  Knights often dueled for honor, or to prove something or etc. While there was some sort of unwritten rule that Knights and mages were to never get along this fell along the lines of politics for him and he cared little for it. He never even knew what the disagreement was supposed to be anyway. When the knight with noble demeanor utilized his politically correct address the battle mage shrugged.  

"I did not mean to intervene in any sort of practice or sparring session.  However, as you are well aware gentlemen, training must be routed via the appropriate channels and sanctioned by the Commanding Officer. Unless, immediate training is necessary to ensure efficient and safe mission completion.  If this was a sparing session, the rules state that there must be at least a witness to prevent any sparring from veering into brawls."

He approached the pair. He moved easily and confidently.  He was not much shorter than Dalmer.  He could appreciate both the knight's stature and obvious fitness levels. If a spar match was to ensue, the mage had no doubt that they would give a good show.  This gave him an idea and addressed the warriors in an even but respectful tone.

 "I understand that you gentlemen would like to blow off some steam instead of all this waiting. Honestly, I think your spar would perhaps serve as a diversion for the junior personnel which would boost their morale and prevent any last minute jitter from setting in."  He looked both directly in the eyes.  He did not care for politics but he cared for the lives of men and women who served in the military.  Arn would do his best to keep as many alive as he could even if that meant his own death.
