Mai struggled to keep her footing and the cave shook. She knew she had to do something - she had promised to keep Ling safe in the wood. And that meant keeping Ling safe from herself as well. As self-induced cave-ins and fights with divine beings would tend to undermine that. So with a calm that she didn't actually feel, she stepped in between the two combatants and said simply, "No. Not here. Not anywhere. We all know this is a misunderstanding. One that Urvasi may have actually desired, but a misunderstanding nonetheless. So if you want to get to each other, you'll have to go through me. And since I'm not going to fight back against either one of you, that means you'll have to kill an unarmed innocent. Is that what you want? Is that how much your pride means to you?"<br/><br/>It took all Mai had just to keep from shaking, but she was implacable nonetheless.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Stand Fast Roll</div><div class="spoiler_body">99342   Idlewyld   Noone or Anyone   2017-01-22 18:15:59   At 2017-01-22 18:15:59, Idlewyld (uid: 53605) rolls: 2d6a-1 Result: 9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=99342) So I think that's a success but with a hard choice</div></div>
