You guys are immature if you think these guys were acting cowardly. This is how you deescalate a situation, escalating rarely makes you brave.... but It may turn a bad situation even worse...always take the easiest safest route aka ignore drunk/drugged up racist piece of qashiin to drown in his own pathetic misery!
But he didn't ignore the man. Nothing wrong with walking away from nin waalan, I would do the same in that situation. The problem is that he sat there like a yanyuur and called the fatty his BRAZERRR. Can't defend that.
