Kiyu leaned towards Makora and whispered, " I will have to take your word on it." He then reached down and stroked Kia behind the ear and motioned towards the young human girl Sharae. Kai glided next to her gently batting her leg looking for some attention. Kiyu thought to himself maybe Kai will help her be more at ease and less sensitive her companys personal lives.
Kiyu thought to himself how the Dark Elves were never fearful of living with passion in either the fighting or their loving.
As he sat back he looked at Tre, "Yes while you gather your thoughts let me order refills for everyone, as well as Makora it seems. You like your Ale, eh."
Kiyu waves a bar maid down and orders refills for all at the table.

Watching as Sharae got up and moved to a diffrent table he glanced up at Tre. "I think I scared her away." drumming the table with his finger while he waited for his Ale he continued. "I don't know why I scare people away, especially women. I'm sure Tre could give an explanation, but it wouldn't be very kind."

Sharae sighed and sat down at the other table, leaning her elbow on the wooden surface and covering half her face with her hand.
Some things had changed, but apparently others had not. She wondered if she would ever be comfortable with adult conversation. If it would ever stop making her feel so strange... But at the same time so frightened and angry.
She felt Kai pawing at her and smiled a little, scratching the cat-creature behind it's ears, the loud purr that erupted soothing her a little.

Tregarde hit Makora in the arm, hard. She knew he could take it. “Yes, the sex is great. Fantastic. Like you wouldn’t believe… and will never find out.”
She shook her head with a wry smile and sat down next to Sharae. “That’s Mak for ya. If he bothers you too much, just pound on him a little. If he really bothers you,” she pat her own knee, “I’m sure you know how to use one of these.”
She picked up the glass of wine that had been sitting on the table and took a sip. “But, since I gave bit of my tale already, I think it’s only fair to hear someone else’s next.” She glanced at the others under half closed eyes. “Any volunteers?”

Grabbing his new Ale he takes a drink and watches Tre go sit with Sharae. Turning to Kiyu he shrugs. "You see how I'm treated? I get hit and kneed. And I don't even know what I did wrong!"
Taking a long drag of his pipe, than trying, but failing, to blow smoke rings he takes another drink of his ale. "Well, there was this one time I did deserve it. I was flirting with Gel and I guess she wasn't in a very good mood. I can't remember where we were going. I think we were looking for Kae. But, I kept putting my arm around her waist and just generally being myself. So, she turns and punches me in the chin. I'll admit it stung. But that didn't stop me. We finally get back to the guard hall and I can tell Gel was ready to explode. So, I said to her 'So Gel, how about we go to my room and..ya know.' so she turns around and gets close to me. The next thing I know I'm on my knees, I feel like I'm gonna puke, and I'm dizzy. She had kneed me in the nuts! But no thats not all she did. She punched me in the side off the head! So, I'm laying on my side and me, being the moron that I am. I decided to say one more thing. I say 'We can do it in your room if you want' She looks down at me than bring her leg back and kicks me in the stomach and walks away. So, I guess I deserved what I got. Well, thats what everyone says."
Taking another drag from his pipe he thinks for a moment. "Coincidentally, I got killed the next day so you can probly imagine how Gel felt. I am alive now though and we did eventaully do it. Right in this room in fact. All's well that ends well I guess." mumbling more to himself. "Sex was good to..."

Sharae smiles at Tre and looks as if she's about to say something, then frowns and rolls her eyes as she catches some of what Makora is saying.
She turns slowly, glaring at him.
"You know, I doubt the lady you're talking about would appriciate you bragging about that where anyone can hear. If it's true anyway." Gives Mak a look that says she doesn't believe him, then turns away, "If an ill mannered fool like you can bed a woman without knocking her out first then perhaps I'll sprout wings and fly off to the moon..." She mutters angrily.

Turns to Sharae with a fake hurt look "Woah woah woah! Why the hostility? I'll admit yes, I probly shouldn't have said anything here. It was rude and uncalled for. A gentle man should never kiss and tell. But as you can already guess, I'm no gentleman. Now that I think of it. The woman I'm speaking of probly wouldn't appreciate this."
Taking another drag from his pipe he turns back to Kiyu. "Everyone always gets mad at me. I just hope she dosen't come over here and punch me." Scoots his chair away from Sharae.

She glanced at Makora then back to Sharae. "See what I have to put with these days?" she said good naturedly.

She smirks, "If the policy around here is to thump him whenever he's annoying, why isn't he a bloody mess on the floor by now?" She chuckles, "I guess he's not worth the effort."
Sharae leans over and grabs a small piece of wood from the pile by the nearby cold fire place, and with a small knife from her boot begins to whittle, glancing up now and again at Kai.
"It's been an interesting few months for me as well, but a lot of what has happened is... personal... and troublesome. Not really things I can discuss openly."
The piece of wood begins to look more and more like a tiny wooden replica of Kai.

“I understand. There’s a few things I’d rather not discuss so openly either.” Tregarde reached over and pulled off a few grapes from the bunch and popped one in her mouth. She then looked at Sharae with bright-eyed curiosity. “So, what can you discuss?”

Smiles slightly as she carves.
"I left Dion a few months back with no family and few friends, off to join a fight I'm not sure I ever really believed in, but it made me feel like I had a purpose, kept me close to the few people who had ever made me feel welcome on the mainland." And gave me something to die for... she added in her mind. She pauses, eyeing the carving a moment, turning it in her hand before she continues, "Someone I met before I had left had made me think more closely about where I was heading with my life... Whether he meant to or not, he showed me how uncertain I was, made me think about what was really important to me..."
She remembered the grizzled warrior’s words:
I think that something to fight and die for is what all of us are looking for in the end, it would be kind of empty otherwise... But in this matter, I do not think that the scale matters that much in the end, either big or small, if you believe in your cause, your worth will be the same.
She had been awed by the belief of others, but she had never really believed in any cause herself, until she had stood in the Temple with Terease and Remira, gazing at the towering statue before them, and heard that voice so clearly.
Rise to me.
"And so much has changed since then..."

Tregarde nodded with a knowing expression on her face. “I think I know exactly what you mean. When I joined Echoes, in truth, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted, but at the time they seemed to be somewhere I could find… a purpose. But as time went on I found that I agreed with them less and less.”
She smiled contently. “Of course, falling in love with Risa had something to do with it too. If it hadn’t been for her, I might still be with them. But... something drew us together. Without even trying, just being near her, all the walls I had built around myself just crumbled – walls I didn’t even know I had.”
She popped another gape into her mouth and ate it before continuing. “As my heart opened up I also began to see the world around me in ways I hadn’t before. I saw that there are good people among the other races, and that my own is just as fractured and divided as any other. Eventually I even began to call some others ‘friends.’”
She paused for a moment with a somber look in her eyes. “When my uncle died he reminded me of something: My family name is S’Ligne, derived from “sslig’ne” which means to defend or protect. I began to wonder just what it was that I was defending. I realized that what Echoes stands for, and they way they go about it, just wasn’t the right path… at least for me it wasn’t. And so the day came when I handed the pin back to Olo, and not long after I was donning a new crest.”
Tregarde looked around the tavern, at the people. “I found where I belong.”

Kiyu listens to Sharae's and Tre's words and understands all to well the evil that is about Aden.
"When one finds friends in this world they need to hold tight to them," Kiyu states. "Aden can be a cold, dark place without support and a few people to trust." Kiyu looks into his empty glass not believeing it is gone already. "Makora, seems we are both empty can I refill yours as well as mine."

Looks at his empty mug, than at Kiyu "I can never refuse a refill."
Turns to look at Tre "It's good thing you did join the Guard. Things would be so much less interesting withut you."
Turns to Sharae. "And Sharae, sorry if I offened you in anyway. I know I shouldn't have said anything, sometimes I tend to speak before I think. It's a curse really." He shrugs and scratches his head.

Looks over at Makora, eyeing him a moment, then smirks. "Apology accepted... Sorry if I snapped at you, I have a bit of a temper, or so I'm told." Puts the carving down on the table in front of her and looks from it to Kai with a grin. Picks it up, carves her initials into the base, shrugs and passes it to Kiyu.
