"Speaking of fights, what else could excite you?" He grins, thinking of some of the things he can remember doing.

Warren folds his arms, leaning against the side of the pillar opposite his colleague.
"Simpler times." He keeps his gaze averted, aware his broodingness is getting all over everything and can be very hard to get out.

"Hmpf. I suppose it all depends on the type of excitement you mean. I have no love for battle myself..." She glances to Warren at the other side of the room. "... I do suppose watching someone else excel at it can be rather exciting. Professionally I mean...."
"Kindly avert your eyes now..."

"Oh I love a good fight. A training fight mind you, not a to the death fight. It gets my blood pumping and it's so wonderfully intimate when you're locked up with another person in a spar. When I'm focused and it's just me and the other person testing ourselves and our strength and skill." She shivers a bit. "Gets my blood up just thinking about it."

"Fights?" C'kayah laughed. "So many people thinking only of fights for their excitement? Granted, fights are so...primal. But they're only a means to an end, really.
"For me, nothing is quite so exciting as time spent alone with a lover. Honestly, Menphina smiles upon every hour so spent."

"Just as my loved ones lift me up they are also the ones who have given my life excitement."
He looked around and sighed, Having a good meal or a break on the beach may sound nice to you but really just being with them is wonderful."

"Yesss", C'kayah grinned, drawing out the word like he was unsheathing a sword. "Your loved ones have caused me a great deal of excitement, too.
Which brings up the next question: What's the greatest betrayal you've ever suffered?

Andralyn turned to face the growing crowd, her drink moving from her lips to settle back down on the bar, "My mother selling me at fourteen to the highest bidder. A girl's first time shouldn't be with some dirty geezer with grubby hands and deep pockets...and it certainly shouldn't be facilitated by her mother...." She shook her head, offering a sigh, "Guess she knew best though. Knew how to make an heir of me..." She lifted a shoulder and took another drink. "The bitch..."

Ruru almost laughed too loudly when he heard the question and the dagger bit into his palm a bit as he recalled.
"Imagine you are a young man, barely into adulthood. You have been away from home for a few days and then return to a welcoming home with your mother and sister. Only your imagining wrong....because those two are not welcoming anyone for they are dead, stabbed to death. You fear....fear for your own life, angry at the Twelve for taking them and flee. Only to then find out that the one who'd killed them was your own brother....your own flesh and blood. And then that same brother tried to stab you in kind."
He sighed deeply squeezed the cut palm into a tight fist letting a drop of blood escape to the floor.
"Imagine that....and you will know the greatest betrayal I've suffered."

"Does getting kicked out of your country count? Imagine being betrayed to the point that you can't even remember who betrayed you. That's been my life."
"And still, midst those betrayals, there can be hope. What in life have given all of you hope?" He thinks back to some recent events in his own life. "...the chance of having hope again can change a man."
RE: Truth Serum! Questionbox sort of thing. - Kage - 07-02-2014
"Betrayal? Watching one you loved turn his back on you and walk away. I have -always- been in Ul'dah. It is no secret where I am. In fact, I'm utterly and completely predictable. Watching someone's back turned... aye that has hurt me the most."
He eyes Merc, almost wanting to growl at him before answering simply, "Forgiveness."

"My life until I left home was a single, uninterrputed betrayal. My mother betrayed everything that a mother should be. She didn't want children, she wanted slaves. The beatings and the cruelty weren't enough. She had to warp our minds to turn us into monsters. I'm lucky, I guess I was too dumb for it to really take. She hated me for it, I didn't realize how badly until she pitted my sister and I against one another. We destroyed one another for years until I slept with her husband when I was seventeen. Then mother decided she was bored and encouraged my sister to kill me. Even when I won the fight mother wouldn't have it. She saved my sister and threw me out into the cold to die. Don't know why she didn't just kill me herself..."

Andralyn snorted, lifting her drink in a salute toward the familiar lalafell and then the female roe before motioning toward the rest, "T'family, aye?"
She chuckled, tossing back her head with the laugh.

Kage favors the sweet water he had asked for before bursting out, "Enough nitty and gritty! What are the simple pleasures in life? Hobbies? Foods? Drinks? Surely not everyone's lives are filled with the grim."

He eyes Merc, almost wanting to growl at him before answering simply, "Forgiveness."
"Perhaps....the one who turned his back did so because he felt that was his only option left. Perhaps he'd fallen so low and felt so alone that he left because he didn't think you were there for him any longer. If that were the case....maybe you need to talk to this man....try and see his perspective...before labeling one for betrayal."
He considered the Mercenary's question and nodded. "Agree with Kage....forgiveness." His remained fixed on Kage as he said the words.
