However it just kept getting more and more chaotic in the discussion. So with one swift word he tried to regain a sense of order.<strong>"Enough!"</strong>Hard to believe this was breakfast for him. He once had his faith aligned with Cayden Calan but his faith has shifted to something else entirely. It was something he was sorting out for himself. He took a moment to look over everyone.<strong>"I made it clear, very clear that I was not wanting my slaves to fight in the pits. The entertainment I wanted was fucking fornication."</strong><br/><br/>Still there was a nagging feeling that he might have no choice in them fighting and he knew that. Just because he failed to catch the subtleties of this oral contract doesn't make it less binding. Darius shook his head and spoke to Keki and Growl'Ruk specifically. There were competent fighters yes.<strong>"It is possible that I could be obligated unfortunately to have my slaves fight in the pit if Mihar insists. I personally am responsible for it but I will do my utmost to prepare and protect. As for you Growl'Ruk I am aware that I was caught ill prepared for last night's situation. If you want a weapon or training if you need to go back in there, you shall have it."</strong><br/><br/>He took a moment to quench his thirst and then began to speak to Jiabelle, Ilyana and the Male Elf breeder.<strong>"Could you beat Growl'Ruk single handed? Then I'm not letting you or the male elf go into that pit to fight."</strong>he was very confident that the answer to his question was no. Especially with the unnamed elf slave. And there was zero chance he's letting his mother in law fight.
