Raised voices. And now Graves was on his feet, looking like he was prepared to deck Kazuki.

[i]His brother.[/i]

[color=#98A9B1]“Excuse me-”[/color] he said quickly to Sif, realizing he had to act fast. Right now everything he’d worked for was going up in smoke, and he had no idea why. Honestly, he didn’t care why. Someone was being aggressive to his family, and there was no way in hell he was going to stand by and watch this. 

He felt a tremor in his hands. He forced it down. He had to force it down because right now Kazuki was in trouble and he wasn’t going to be a coward. He wasn’t going to collapse. 

[color=#98A9B1]“Hey!”[/color] His voice rose higher than he wanted as he approached Graves’ flank. [color=#98A9B1]”The owners already said to keep things civil in here.”[/color] His voice was less calm and more tinged with anger and venom. The fact that Graves of all people was pulling an aggressive card with his brothers-[i]his brother[/i]-of all people was already out of the question. [color=#98A9B1]”You need to walk away and cool your head before you cause trouble for [i]everyone.[/i]”[/color] Benkei was serious. And not serious as he had been yesterday. This was a colder serious. The kind of attitude that followed with a thrown fist. 

He’d been in enough fights. Lost enough too. But he’d be goddamned if he let someone push his family around.
