The glass broke real fast after he cracked it— but I guess if we got the lance and broke the glass instead…
[ glances at eupha and then at del. and then back at eupha. ]
Back in the timeline we’re from, you lot really beat him down. Granted, he were pretty badly injured but I reckon it’d be enough that he’d struggle to stop both of us before he dropped in on Forden and that lot.
Wonder if it differentiates when you’re pullin’ somethin’ outta someone versus attackin’ ‘em? [ and would it count shattering the glass as a killing blow versus the people who declared the duel doing the most damage? ]
The lance gets past the magic though, yeah? If we break the glass with the lance like Louis did—
We'd just have to grab it soon as he started stumbling, and let him break the glass himself.
Pretty sure takin' the lance out wouldn't trigger it, since that's basically the opposite of an attack. Just make sure we're thinkin' real hard in that moment about getting the lance back and not about hurtin' Louis, so it can't read our intentions as threatening.
… Reckon we can manage that. Point’s not letting Forden get his hands on it, yeah? [ it’s thought week so everyone can have a little blast of him thinking get the lace back get the lance back a few dozen times, like he’s practising. ]
Right. Forden doesn't get it, and then even if we don't get down to deal with Zorba in time, they're not gettin' it either. That's our insurance that they're not gonna be able to touch Will.

And we should be careful not to trigger the king's magic, should the lance be removed...
[ specifically for the brothers, who did not declare themselves. ]
