B:"[i][b][u]She's already cause me t' nearly lose me temper, an' that isn't somethin' that I'd like to do. She ain't worth fightin' over, and she sure as hell isn't worth my temper. Plus, I can't support anything this nutcase-[/u][/b][/i]"

[i]"Good to know, Bal. Smough, it's time to surrender. Now."[/i] [u]"She hasn't done anything wrong. Why do this, Orn?" [/u]

[u]Balthazar steps forward.[/u] "[i][u][b]She's already creating conflict. In fact, she's associated with this nutcase, who'd probably make her even more of a danger. I tried getting him out, but he alluded me and the minute I caught him shot me in the foot. LITERALLY! [/b][/u][/i]

[u]"You think she would want this? Orn escalated this to the point that it's becoming a conflict. Bal, you're better than this."[/u]

[u]Balthazar cracks his knuckles on his hammer's grip.[/u] B:"[i][u][b]Listen. I need... Peace. You know the bonds that keep Po from letting loose? Well, they're getting weaker. The more conflict and destruction that occurs, the more power I have to use to keep the seal intact. I need her and that Preacher gone, or the seal's going to break. You see these flames? These things are the pre-cursors to a break. I don't want to end up destroying the Dojo because I couldn't keep control.[/b][/u][/i]
