Proposal (2)

"Now, as I was saying, I have a proposal"

Without giving her a chance to reply, he continued.

"In order to avoid a fight that would be detrimental to us all, I propose that all parties except for yours be given twenty five minutes to scourge however little they can of the mountains inside and get out, leaving the rest for the Empire's taking"

He was proving why exactly he was able to survive as a guild master.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! You-"

Just as Loreta took upon herself to ensure others won't get in her way, she was silenced by a shout from Davin.

"Loreta!"

Loreta's tongue subconsciously stopped.

With a cruel light in his eyes, he bent till his mouth was right beside her ear and spoke…

"It won't do you any good to fight three opponents all at once, now would it? It would do you good to be careful with your next words, because it will decide the fate of all those behind you"
