By the time the Kraken Guard had drawn their weapons, P'tulla, and everyone else present, would see the Bloody Ravens readied in a similar manner, just a split second after themselves; their reflexes and response time were sharp, and proved right off the bat that each is likely to have earned their reputation--being the best warriors in a nation that prided itself on fighting--. None of them even looked to Henrik, refusing to take their eyes off the nomadic warriors, knowing full well that if P'tulla gave the word to her guardsmen to start a fight here, they were free to butcher the Nydewian's at their leisure.<br/><br/>Sir Grim, a man nearly as tall as the King and Prince Omar, perhaps stood out as the strongest (or, at least, most obvious) Bloody Raven, decked out fully in black armor which had spikes on it; the spikes were carefully designed to give an intimidating air to the suit of armor, without adding any noteworthy additional encumbrance or difficulty in seeing/moving.  He is the only of the Bloody Raven's to have actually drawn his weapon, and he practically glowered at P'tulla from beneath his face-concealing helmet.<br/><br/>Henrik himself kept a hand near to his sword, which was still sheathed and resting on the table in front of him.  After giving the Nydewian's a once-over, his attention shifted to the queen. He listened to her words, and though he said nothing to her, the look in his eyes seemed to convey his thoughts.<em> I know what you're up to. </em><br/><br/>As the tenseness of the situation continued on, he slowly stood up, and looked around the dining hall towards his guards. "Grim, sheathe it." He commanded in a cool, crisp, clean, sharp voice; a voice that might remind one of a snow-chilled dagger. The intimidating man consented without a word. "Raven's, relax." And just like that, the well disciplined guards relaxed their stance, hands moving away from their weapons, though their gazes remained focus on the Kraken Guard.<br/><br/>Noticeably, the female guard near Henrik, Zalania, seems to have not relaxed quite as much as the others.
