A shrug??? This was insanity!!!
These were two very scary people about to go at it, but Dj had to do something.
Though the more he thought about it, the more he realized the only thing he could do was bide his time and see what would happen, hopefully this would diffuse before intervention was necessary. He didn't want to have to pick a side between his friends.
So he waited quietly, concern growing over his features.

"Helping people. Fixing the world's problems, make it more livable for the less fortunate. Leon found me on the streets, alone and scared, and asked me the same thing, and I gave him the same answer. He took me in, and for months trained me, body, soul, and mind. He beat me, tortured me, almost killed me on some occasions, but most importantly he encouraged me. He taught me how to exude my strengths and love myself and those around me. He taught me how to embrace failure and turn it into new strengths. How to protect those who can't protect themselves. I don't know who hurt you, but I'm not your fucking enemy, and I'm sorry you think I am."
They spoke honestly, and finally feeling the weight of the Qi, their legs would begin trembling.

Drake deactivated his power and walked straight to WR hold up his sword tip pointing at WR's face.
"And you're ready to die then."
He would sneer.

Lorelai raised an arm in an attempt to hold DJ back, in case he would try to intervene. She was watching Drake now, almost entirely, and noting everything she could about his posture. She highly doubted she was as fast as he was, but that wouldn't stop her from moving... if she thought it was necessary.
"Wait..." she whispered.

He would flinch a little at the arm in front of him. He would give a bit of an indignant look at Lorelai before letting his eyes glow and say "If I intervene, I am going to do it with or without permission. I fully intend on waiting A bit longer but I will not tolerate this after the first hit is thrown.

WR straightened their posture as Drake approached, finally free of the weight he had plastered onto them. Even then, they remained perfectly still, eyes following the blade as it was held up to their face, then shifting their gaze back to his. They were... surprisingly calm, despite their Qi activating out of panic. It still blazed around them, but it was contained for now.
They simply stood at Drake's mercy like they had nothing to lose. If he struck, they would fight, but for now they were just content with standing their ground.
"Mind telling me why I have to die? You seemed to adore me when I took you for a joyride, oblivious to my relationship with Leon. I wanna know what changed."

"I already said. I made an oath to kill all the Dragons and their apprentices. Are you to suggest that you life is worth more than an Sworn Oath? And here I thought you understood what Respect was."
He spat.

Lorelai sighed deeply, allowing her arm to fall. She was still paying attention to Drake's body language. Her fingers, however, slid off of her hilt, and she looked fairly relaxed.

Dj just stared on, terrified of what was to come. Fuck, he felt so useless right now. Not because he wouldn't have been able to at least try and diffuse the fight, but because he wasn't sure who he'd try to diffuse.

"No, I'm not, and I do. I already told you what my life means, my purpose, my intent. And you know what's in my soul. I promised my loved ones back home that I'd always stand for myself and my beliefs, that I'd fight my cause to the grave if it meant making a difference. I made the same promise to Leon. You don't give a fuck about that, I don't give a fuck about your Oath. But, I respect you. I respect what you're standing for, even if I don't fucking agree with it. We both made promises, Oaths, vows, whatever you wanna call them, it's the same thing. So that's why I'm standing here, challenging you and death. Far as my question goes? I was referring to the Oath. I'm not that much of an idiot."
They said calmly with hints of aggression here and there.

Drake would thrust his hand into WR's flames to grab the collar of their shirt picking them up off the ground effortlessly. It would be as if he didn't even register the burning of the flames.
"Really, is that all there is too you? Big talk? Hoping to get out of this by making me face some moral sense of justice? News fucking flash, I don't have Morals, I don't believe in justice. I do whatever the FUCK I want to, you're just quivering in your boots and praying that you'll survive this."
He scoffed.
"Is this the legacy of the so called Dragons? A coward that can't do shit?"

Lorelai rolled her eyes slightly. This was either going to go somewhere in the next move... or it wasn't going to go anywhere. She remained where she was, waiting... and watching.

Dj would start breathing harder. Panic was setting in as the two got closer and closer to actually fighting. This was painful to watch, and the anxiety was starting to get to him.

WR let Drake lift them off the ground, their only hint of retaliation behind the grabbing of his wrists, though that was mainly to secure themself from a potential choke hold. They continued staring into his eyes.
"Dunno, must be doing pretty good if I'm still alive. I'm talking because I obviously can't fucking fight you, and that's not cowardice, it's common sense. If I ran at you, you'd have kicked me to the moon or impaled me or something, to put in your words, dead before you could hurt me. Dragons are prideful, but they're not retarded."
They rolled their eyes. They were obviously tempting the fates now. Drake could kill them right then and there if he wanted to, but they were confident he was going to let them go, one way or another. Right now was just a practice of the very first lessons Leon had taught them, when they were puny. Avoiding and resolving conflict wasn't the wrong answer. It wasn't the respectable one, but it wasn't the wrong one. And right now, that's all they could do.

Drake laughed then, full bellied laugh and everything, completely breaking his 'bad guy' persona. He would carefully set WR down.
"Oh man. Got some balls on you."
He would say sheathing his sword and walking to the car. Stopping only to turn and look at WR.
"So, we doing this or not? I've been excited to learn how to drive, don't tell me you're gonna blue ball me now?"
