Friendly duel? Friendly?! Braeden was a bit of a coward, sure, but he was most definitely not stupid. Anyone with eyes could see this was anything but friendl-- GAH!

Braeden turned around as the groundskeeper suddenly seemed to appear out of thin air. Whoaaa, where'd he come from?! The poor boy nearly jumped a foot into the air in surprise, and turned from the groundskeeper to Ellie, to her opponent, and back to the groundskeeper. Errr... Yeah. If Brae couldn't stop them (which it seemed he wouldn't have been able to, with Ellie's determination), this guy would. Merlin. These girls were scary.

Well alrightyyyy thenn.... this was Braeden's cue to zip his mouth, conjure up some popcorn, watch the show, and then maybe make a movie out of it. Let's see where this goes.
