"I know nothing. And everything. Peregrine knows too, she's just...mmm...not prioritizing safety over knowledge quite right. I think she's right that I'm conservative." Giri laughs, long and hard. Loud enough to alert the N'yari around her, though who knows if they can see what's happening or not. "But then, I'm conservative because I've summoned demons too, and I saw what happened and learned from it. You still have that opportunity. We do not need to fight here. You can abandon this scheme, I promise Kal...I promise she'll be happy for it."

Giri pauses, looks, tries to gauge something about these two. She can't possibly beat both of them, but Peregrine is signaling that this is Ven's fight and again Ven alone there was a chance, even if it didn't favor her. 

"Still, I don't think I'll allow you to simply go past me. You might anyway, I've never been much of a fighter. But I think I ought to try. We just...we don't have to do this, please, there's another way."

Giri unsheathes her sword, which she has never used as a sword and holds it in both hands, but she steps back. It's up to Ven to make the first move if this is what she wants.
