A Measure of Restraint

Your challenge reached me, urging a final clash against the horned titan beside me. I turned toward Grimlock, calculating the consequence of unbridled force upon this shelf. Conflict without cause yields only ruin. Instead of raising my sword in hostility, I lifted my blade in formal salutation, touching its edge lightly against his spiked armor to test his resolve. He remained stone, steadfast in his silence. A true leader seeks unity before destruction. I lowered my guard, stepping into flank position alongside him. We do not destroy our allies; we stand together to safeguard this perimeter.
