Erik stiffens and an ugly look grows on his face.Ragnarr's face grows blank, rage starts to seep into his eyes, and his tone is no longer conciliatory and friendly becoming instead sharp and precise "A shaming strike is an extreme escalation over a child's argument over a toy. Neither I or my family will lie down for this kind of thing under any circumstances, and a price will be paid for striking my son in this way. I will give you a third and final opportunity to pay that price in wealth. If you reject this offer it will be paid instead with damage upon your body. I will, for the good of the settlement, try not to kill you, and suggest we wrestle rather than fight with weapons, though if you prefer a full fight with all weapons, so be it. So, what price will you be paying, wealth or pain?"
"Then we must fight, I cannot stand by and be lambasted for letting my boy defend himself the best way he could. Your son is not being able to avoid the strike is his own fault. I will not run from this fight. Not ever again."
