Ludovoix has a problem with contacting his emotions a large portion of the time, they're sporadic and random to him, watching his friends fighting would initially not achieve any connection with him, though his logic would dictate to him that because they are his friends he should get involved.Â
I'd imagine he'd try to calm them down, though it wouldn't be in an emotional sense, if a friend died in the altercation, he wouldn't feel anything until later on when his emotions decide to show, then it just depends on the situation he's in at that given time as to what his reaction would be. Without gripping the sword, I cannot protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you.

Melody would probably scream and shout for them to stop, mostly. There wouldn't be a whole lot she could physically since she's so small, unless she makes some Lalafellin friends down the road.
She's learning alchemy, so maybe if things got really out of hand she could throw down some sort of small explosive bottle to shock the sense back into them? If it were a completely unstoppable situation, her main priority would be making sure Brio (her twin brother) was not there to see anything. Â Melody knows that if he experienced anything like that his world would shatter in a worse way than anyone else's. Regardless if her brother was there or not, she might just tell them where she will be waiting and to come find her when it was over. This is a tough situation to think about!

Awhile ago Kage would have furrowed his brows incessantly and possibly have panicked, yelling at them to try to stop it, etc.
Now if it were the case, he'd let them go at it, hoping they'd resolve it. If it were to inevitably be the case where he'd have to intervene lest someone loses a limb or their life, he'd slam his axe or broadsword down. or His shield. He'd do something to a) stop the blows/weapons from landing and b) get their attention. If one were to be killed... Kage would most likely stop any positive interaction. At best all dealings would be neutral. He may even swear vengeance and retribution for the death. It would not be pleasant anyway.

T'rahnu has no close friends.
BUT! If she did, and this situation occurred in front of her, she would probably punch both of their lights out. She's strong enough to do it, too. Easiest, fastest way to defuse a volatile situation in her mind. She's not really concerned about any injury, either. She could also, say, fire an arrow with her bow between the two of them, but it doesn't always work so the fallback is always to start swingin'. Heh. She's a crude lady, isn't she?

Gosh, all of these responses are great.
Xavarian doesn't actually have any very close friends.  But assuming he did for this question, unlike many here, he would react in a completely situational matter.  * If he knew why they were fighting, he may potentially take sides if he felt strongly for one of their reasons over the other.  If he actually got involved or not, depends on how the fight started, and if the result would effect him. * If it was more of a personal dispute between them (and didn't effect him directly, or his goals), he would keep out of the way; what right has he, afterall, to intervene in something they both deem fit to take part in?  If it did effect his goals or desires to more than a minor degree, he'd get involved. * Insofar as his involvement, or if they seemed like they wanted a solution, however, instead of just an 'honor duel', brawl, or what have you, Xavarian would attempt to speak up and be diplomatic about it; see all sides, look for a logical solution that leaves all of them with something they want.  Possibly separating the lot of them via ice barrier if it seemed necessary. * If they tried to drag him into the actual physical fight (should he not be willing), it would be chaos.  There would be things on fire, shards of ice everywhere, some people would probably end up asleep on the ground, Xavarian would be beat up.  ... Good times. On the one hand, Xavarian is pretty relativist in view, and isn't about the get in the way of something that he might think is of cultural or personal significance to those involved.  If they all want to do it, let them do it (so long as it doesn't conflict with his desires).  On the other hand, once it conflicts, he'd want it dealt with, and would take what seems to be the 'most logical route' to doing that at the time.  In reality, though, Xavarian would likely be fairly nervous about this; all sorts of Aether would be happening around him.  He is likely to pick some friends over others, (if he had them) to side with more frequently, and may defend them abruptly if it looks like a killing blow might be struck, but it's pretty hard to say currently, as he's lacking those friends, and thus, can't speak for if they'd even want to be 'helped' or not.  Importance level to him here would be:  Xavarian's ultimate desires > All friends' involved ultimate desires (with a few likely superseding others) > if a solution is wanted > the wish for conflict itself > being harmed somehow (> 'what's morally right'; this is the least important and in parentheses because to be quite honest, it doesn't even factor in, really, other than an afterthought for appearances, if need be.) TLDR: Xavarian's an analytical, relativist butt who wants things, and will react accordingly.

If they were killed, she wouldn't be at their funeral… because she'd be in jail for killing the person that killed them!
