Summary: Occasonally princes play chicken.



The young lord raised his hands, palms showing, chest high. I am unarmed but may not stay that way, it meant.

Thomas stepped between Esvan and the challenger. He mirrored the lord's gesture - and then completed it, hands lowering to the hilts of his weapons. Give me an excuse.

Esvan's eyes never left those of his challenger; sitting on a raised dais allowed him to look over his ku'rin's head. The faintest of smiles graced his lips. Your move.

It was a long silent moment before the lord's hands turned palm-in, arms crossing in the sarcophagal position. I yield.

Chicken is a noble game.

I like how neatly this snapshot summarises the relationships between the characters. Also props for using 'sarcophagal' in a legitimate and effective way, hah.
