"Great leaders are made not born; I've said it myself and I'll say it again. You're not going to become a great leader simply sticking around and feeling sorry for yourself; you're going to become a great leader through hard work."<br/><br/>Having blinked for a moment or two, Jamie hoped that his words would have gotten her to at least do something in spite of the fact that she didn't think much of herself. Even if she wasn't going to believe in herself he certainly was going to believe in her.<br/><br/>Once she started to speak to the others Jamie took a moment to whisper to his own mount. It was clear that he was telling his dinosaur to remain right there, in spite of the fact that he was about to step forward and speak with their enemies. After having made sure that everything that was possibly threatening was removed from his person, Jamie started to step forward with a raised hand.<br/><br/>"I am unarmed; even if you did not trust me, you would not dare kill an unarmed man, would you?"<br/><br/>Even though their honor systems were of course quite different, Jamie at least figured that everything was going to go a little more smoothly if he emphasized that he wasn't armed. He figured that even they wouldn't go and hurt someone who willingly threw down his weapon, so he was at least somewhat confident that was the right motion to take at the moment.<br/><br/>That being said, should he have died then and there it would have meant that they committed an extremely dishonorable act against him at a time when he was being remarkably brave by throwing down his arms and going up against him bare handed.<br/><br/>"What shall it be then? What time and place would you select? Moreover, who do you wish for to represent my people?" Apparently Jamie must have thought that they wouldn't have accepted him as a representative considering that they seemed to feel that Molly had some kind of feeling for him.<br/><br/>As a result he assumed that they were going to request some other plenipotentiary on his people's behalf.
