Etien closed his pad as he listened to the speech, listening intently. He felt a flutter of adrenaline, and bloodlust, the need to get up and attack something that very moment. However, he restrained himself, both because he had no obvious enemies in the room, and because he was no fool. A speech like this would only be worth it if the speaker could back it up with plans. or at least, the beginnings of a plan.
Etien did not stand, merely sat a little straighter in his chair as he spoke.
"Mon ami, your words stir me to fight. However, I will wait until I hear your full intentions before making judgement. I prefer not to make hasty decisions, but you have piqued my interest."
With that, Etien downed the mouthful left of the bottle, and waited to hear what the others would say.
