"Leon's pride won't let him back down. He's not going to retreat with his tail between his legs. He needs to be crushed. We show strength, he folds."
Riven looked down at his hands. "You're seriously suggesting we escalate this?"
"I'm seriously suggesting we finish it before it drags on," Soren said flatly. "If we don't act first, he will. He already took the first step when he entered this town with soldiers."
Riven sighed. Of course, to Soren, it felt like the most obvious thing in the world, but Riven, Riven came from the modern world, killing was not as easy as Soren made it sound.
He rubbed his temples, wishing he could shut his brain off for five minutes. He came to this world for fun, why weren't things going his way? BL Gods what is your plan?!
Soren got up and crouched beside him, resting a hand on his thigh. "I'm not saying we actually go to war. I'm saying we prepare for it. Because I don't want you to regret anything."
