"Luck? Great leaders are made, never born - you have total control over yourself, and even though you might have total control over nothing else, you do have it over your own faculties."<br/><br/>Jamie exhaled after dispensing the sort of wisdom that Dawn Riders were expected to learn from birth in order to become levelheaded warriors who could ride on the backs of carnivores. He raised a brow and blinked, "You mean that your people would truly think that we could sully ourselves by breaking the rules of conflict?"<br/><br/>There he went with honor again; it seemed almost as though he figured that playing by the rules was far more important than winning or loosing a conflict.<br/><br/>Regardless, any internal monologue that he might have hoped to have was soon shattered by the fact that he had to focus on the individuals who were now going to invade. Having grasped the reigns of his mount he offered her a grimace and looked back, "Are we going to have no choice but to fight anyway? If your people are looking for an excuse to start a war, then so be it."<br/><br/>With an exhalation, he then looked forward, "However, if you can do something Molly then I suggest that now is perhaps the only opportunity that you will ever get in order to do something so I do hope you are able to calm them down now."<br/><br/>For the time being, Jamie did not yet raise his weapon up to avoid looking as though he were attempting to be the aggressor. Nevertheless he was all to ready to defend himself if things started to get ugly.
