The Knight in the corner can't help but chime in once again, a temporary reprieve from her brooding. "This and the previous question are one an the same to me. For I allowed my love to put himself at risk unnecessarily. He was killed for it as I watched helplessly from a distance. Furthermore it was mine own outcry which led to the capture of the remnant of my village."
"I have been cursed by Menphina in all things pertaining to love. And though I have tried to lift it, she has seen fit to make me her cruel joke to Eorzea. What of the rest of you? How have the Twelve seen fit to punish your mistakes?"

Warren cracks a smile, shaking his head and taking a steadying breath.
"Nobody will believe me, but after I hurt one of Her children, Menphina's been mocking me whenever I go anywhere in public. I can't tend anywhere without someone hitting on me, or falling for me, or anything like that. She's fair in Her verdict, of course, but She really knows how to ruin a person with affection."

Hornet snorts softly, "Years of self-abuse and likely to come soon, an early death. I've been trying to turn myself around but I'm not sure if my efforts are in vain though. Still, whenever I fall I just hope it was doing something good. Maybe then in my last moments I'll feel something like absolution. To be honest though, I'm not really counting on it."

"Everything...".Â
He looks around the room, a sea of faces he doesn't know. "If there was one that could stand above the rest, I suppose it was volunteering for 'that' in the first place."
He silently puts the mask back on, not wanting anyone to see the expression on his face.

When they pass on, it will be an enormous pain to get accustomed to. But the strength of it will fade in time; you will get use to it.""It ain't the same thing, sweetheart." Oscare's reply was very, very rapid. And short-tempered at that. "They've been there since the beginning, they're people I cannot erase. I have no choice. A 'one true love', though? That shit a fable through and through. It won't exist. It will never exist. It'll just keep breaking the fragile thing called a 'heart' over and over again. A waste of time."
"I have read about one true love before. That is for story books; to bring such a thing into real life will set yourself up for disappointment and set unrealistic ideals on those you do love.

Kage slumped down next to the one he knew of as 'Merc'. He'd not been feeling the same since he drank that sweet water and he felt compelled to just... speak his mind. No matter how unfiltered or not it may be.
"Love has caused me to do things that I would not want to do. But in my love for others, I will always, always do them again. No matter how much it broke me."
He sipped at the mug. "I killed. IÂ wish I could not have as it's all been wasted. I could not bear to see anything befall the ones I loved and yet.. yet it will anyway. The Twelve will strike me when I warn one of the two I mentioned. I'll be rotting in a cell or hung soon enough for my sins. I only hope that I can help the ones I love before I die."

He fiddled with his dagger and looked down at the table, well aware of who was in the room with him at the time. His eye closed and he mumbled quietly "Trying to join the Sultansworn. Cost me physically and mentally....and I lost good friends in the process."
He sighed and didn't look up.

"T'would be a travesty to say it does not exist or is a waste of time when so many tales and legends are based on the principle. Of course I do believe. And I know that when this one is found, neither the empire, the elder Primal, nor death itself shall be able to separate what She has ordained to join."
She crosses her arms and leans against the wall.
"But once again the tone of the room has turned sour. When my mood darkens I remember where I have been and from the past depths of despair I have crawled out of. In those times it was my friends who uplifted me most. Tell me, what in life most uplifts your spirits?"
(( 'your' was directed at everyone ))

Seeing Kage at the table, he looked over. Maybe there were a few people he knew after all.Â
"Friends and a good drink never hurt."

"An exquiste meal and a good bottle of wine. Reading a good fantasy story. Making love to a beautiful person," she smirks, "or beautiful people." She drinks her ale quietly for a few moments. "Seeing my friends happy. I think that's the biggest one though."

He looks over. "A good fight can have that effect too." He remembers a certain axe that has been neglected as of late.
"Speaking of fights, what else could excite you?" He grins, thinking of some of the things he can remember doing.
