There was no such thing as neutrality, Purple knew that, there were just people who had yet to be made a good enough offer by either side, or people who didn't outright tell you who they were allied with. This man had been summoned by the mage, either he was someone who could be bribed, or an obstacle that needed to be eliminated.
Finding little purpose in posturing, he walked a bit away from the line, found large rock to sit on and started sorting his gear. He wasn't quite wielding the same skills or weapons as last time battle was joined. This was, of course, to his advantage, since his opponents would be prepared to counter those, not the new things he was bringing to the field.
