"But before we get started on the whole duel of death business, I would like to ask something."
Micah held up a hand and stopped Captain Gunnel from taking off his two-horned helmet, weapon, and armor, all of which were of better quality and more decorated than his subordinates'.
Captain Gunnel stopped moving his hands.
"Go ahead."
It didn't seem like Micah would ask something he shouldn't be asking or something that Captain Gunnel couldn't answer, so there was no reason not to hear him out, even if they should begin fighting already.
"Well, to be honest, it's more of a confession and a follow-up question to that confession."
"...alright. What is it?"
Micah began speaking while he moved his hand and inserted it into thin air.
