Arzaan was no fool to not realize that Duran was just stalling and his position right now was enough to let him know that he was blocking his sight of the cave's inside. He didn't have the time to stay and chat with him nor did he have the patience to deal with his antics. He moved forward and Duran took a defensive stance.
"Step aside, Duran," he ordered but the elf refused to move.
"I am sorry, Your Majesty, but I can not allow you to enter," he said and got ready to fight. He may not be strong enough to defeat him, but he is strong enough to leave a scar on him if he goes all out.
"This is treason, Duran, you know that. My actions against you now can not be held against me," he said to make it clear that he would not stop at nothing until he entered. Being Arcadian-born, Duran still had rights just like the others, he was also a high elf though a dark elf.
