And there it was. Despite the last moment setbacks from Felix's well-meaning superior officer, not to mention the presence of Paladin Tyaethe watching over proceedings, his imbecile of a brother had finally taken the bait. 

[color=ff5000][b]"A duel, brother?"[/b][/color] Renar tilted his head in thought, as if seriously considering the matter. [color=ff5000][b]"I accept, of course. Just like old times on the training grounds, eh?"[/b][/color] The bastard chortled, one hand moving down to rest on the hilt of his sword. [color=ff5000][b]"Considering we're both bearing arms already, it seems rather pointless to send for tourney blades. Live steel to first blood, then? Fear not, Felix. I wouldn't dare aim for a killing stroke, of course. Only a colossal fool would slay his own kin in view of so many esteemed onlookers."[/b][/color] Instill doubt in his mind. Remind Felix that he'd have to hold back, lest he commit fratricide in public. Renar didn't need the crutch of mind games with Felix, course. Not if his trueborn brother had continued at his usual pace of improvement. But it didn't hurt to hedge his bets. [color=ff5000][b]"Outside, then? Lead on. Any among you in the audience are welcome to join us, of course."[/b][/color] He started to saunter off with Felix leading the way.

[color=ff5000][b]"Oh, one last thing."[/b][/color] Renar said as they passed Adeforth and Tyaethe, with him turning to give both a formal salute. [color=ff5000][b]"Sir Adeforth. My brother is...well, let's be generous. Embellishing the truth. I spoke no slander against your esteemed order. In fact, I spoke no slander against Felix. Only pointed out a few holes in his, shall we say, creative fiction. Hopefully, this will create no tensions between our orders, yes? Anything of the sort was never my intent as all. Merely a sibling feud. We fight not as Iron Rose or Crown Knights, but as brothers."[/b][/color] With that out of the way, Renar started to walk off again, but not before speaking to Tyaethe. 

[color=ff5000][b]"Care to observe, or are we beneath your notice, Paladin Tyaethe?"[/b][/color]
