I almost kind of felt out of place to post inbetween this hot heated argument but isn't the good ol' anime trope of two sides killing each other with one incompetent mediator just so lovely? 
[QUOTE="Pariah Stark]While this might be true, the only other person is Riven and Zarren. First and foremost, Paul is literally disgusted by them. While they don't piss him off as much as Jessyka, he's not going to respond well to them. Riven doesn't seem much like a mediator anyway and Zarren would likely make things worse. Or just encourage the fight. I really, really see Zarren encouraging it.

You know, I thought about this, and I concluded it wouldn't make sense. Soul Force is a very devastating technique to black blood. I have no idea what Star rating Siren applied to Riven nor is Riven "properly" trained, so there's a lot of factors to who outmatches who in a variety of settings. What I can say with absolute certainty, however, is that Zarren (being composed of black blood) would hurt badly from Paul's way of fighting. Maybe Riven could still utilize him. Maybe Riven could (now or, if not now, eventually) beat Paul. I genuinely don't know nor do I care much for genuine cockfights amongst the students (Opinion of course, just explaining) but Zarren would just suffer. And as big of a loud mouth he is, he's completely not up to take punishment. He's a pussy, basically, so acustomed to be more or less invincible and safe from harm that the prospect of an opponent centered around his main weakness would not make him too into encouraging a hostile situation.

Of course, he still goes and encourages hostility, because he's a complete bafoon. But you get the idea.
