Ban held his ground for now, though the idea that he may need to intervene physically crept over him. Would he survive if he tried to get in the way of Kenshin's sword? Probably not.

"What? What good would killing anyone on our side do? We need all the help we can get, and intentionally taking those who want to help out seems backwards at best."

While this was mostly directed at Kenshin, Ban cast a questioning glance to Haytham at the end of his statement. He didn't want to believe the man was that foolish, especially to murder his son and Kenshin's wife in front of them both.
