He looks to Kage and this time, completely removes the mask. It really wasn't needed anymore at this point. His face slightly flushed from all the ale, "I think you already know a couple of my hobbies. May time change them."

"As for food, anything really. But if I had to pick a flavor, garlic. The Garlean variety. Any meal can be enriched from its flavor. Not to say the local dishes are bland or anything." He glances around, in hope he hasn't offended any bar maids.

"And drinks? Keep 'em coming! I wouldn't still be coming back here if the ale was bad."

The Knight eyes Kage from her position against the far wall. "It seems to be no small task to raise the spirits of this somber group, Master Kiryuu. To the aforementioned question, I have been fortunate to not have suffered any great personal betrayal in my life yet. Perhaps that alone may be hope enough to others that this world is not as dark as one thinks."

"My hobby would be my work. It is what sustains me. To shine what little light I can into the lives of those besieged by despair. For it was when I was at my darkest hour that a single kind soul gave me the hope I needed to survive. I suppose what I am trying to say is that no matter how grim things appear, by the grace of the Twelve I am able to shine my own light into the darkness."

"And white chocolate."

She nods to herself after her long-winded speech and leans back against the wall once more.

Warren Castille · **07-02-2014, 01:35 PM**

Warren grinned to himself as he listened to the group's conversation.

"I'm not sure if I have to speak with her around. Duty is sufficient, and if I can protect those around me or have need me then I am satisfied by that." He paused to consider whether or not to expand upon that but again seems content.

C'kayah laughed coldly, his eyes flashing with barely suppressed cruelty.

"Since we are speaking honestly, if you were to answer for me, you'd probably say my greatest pleasure was walking away from you, my nunh..."

He snorted and rolled his eyes before chuckling coolly. "Until today, I would have said that the simple pleasures in life involve good food, good drink, and spending time with those I care about. Last night, however", he said, his eyes taking on a distant look, his expression softening and warming, "a child fell asleep in my arms while his mother sang him a lullaby. That was perhaps the simplest and most sublime experience of my life."

"I will be the first to admit that a little tea is more than enough to get me in a better mood any time of the day. Especially with some honey. That Gridania-special isÂ absolutely a send from the Twelve."Â

Melodia · **07-02-2014, 02:19 PM**

He couldn't believe no one had even bothered to reply to his comment,Â as if hwe were a non-entity. The words he'd directed at KageÂ hung in the air like a dead weight around him.Â Ruru laughedÂ and shook his head knowing it was pointless, as the others wasted time discussing food.

With that he stepped outside and laughed aloud as he walked away, realizing his voiced regret was in fact the truth.

Kellach Woods · **07-05-2014, 06:05 PM**

Kellach stepped inside the Quicksand after what seemed like an eternity and the aroma of absolute truth soon penetrated his nostrils, altering his own thought processes and becoming far more receptive to invasive inquiries.

He'd not heard the latest question, but a whisper from nowhere would incessantly repeat it, reverberating in his brain, and amplifying until it became unbearable.

(Enough nitty and gritty! What are the simple pleasures in life? Hobbies? Foods? Drinks? Surely not everyone's lives are filled with the grim.)

Kellach scratched the back of his fluffy long hair and started speaking to no one in particular. "Before I'd have just said working on the farm was fun but these days it's all about several mugs of ale and discovering new cosmetics as I travel Eorzea!"

C'kayah Polaali · **07-05-2014, 06:49 PM**

C'kayah laughed delightedly and waved for a fresh drink.

"Bring one for our new friend, as well! What a delightful answer, my friend! Pray tell, do elaborate on that."

Kellach Woods · **07-05-2014, 11:52 PM**

The drink slid alongside the bar, and he carefully brought it to his mouth.

"Whether it's a smoother skin powder for my tone or a clearer lip color, I just have to try it, but usually it doesn't get past the rigors of battle. I didn't really think much of such things on the farm, but in Eorzea I was free to explore, and well, I quite like the enhancing features of these cosmetics and especially the bright pink colors I can lace my hair and bring to my lips."

Putting the mug down, no trace of the pink lipstick could be found on the mug.

Erik Mynhier · **07-06-2014, 01:52 AM**

Erik felt drawn out. Days of debriefings, medical exames, and an entire command to reorganize, he had not once been to the Quicksand since returning. He smiled as he heard the familiar sounds and smelled the sweet air. Happy to see "his" stool open, he sat and ordered the drink everyone seemed to be drinking.

Coatleque · **07-07-2014, 06:00 PM**

The Knight stands quietly regarding the silence that has befallen the room before speaking up once more.

"There is a blade I carry now which was a commission especially for me. It has a spring-loaded crossbar of polished bronze, and ornate walnut hilt. T'was my gift to myself the day I took my oath and became full Sworn. I keep its edge always keen and the blade well oiled.

Is there one item of particular import that anyone else carries with them often?"

Obsidian Hornet gets a sentimental sort of smile to her as she touches the choker around her neck. "I wear this as often as I can." She says, fingers brushing piece of jewelry. The choker is set with a large piece of amber in which is set a yellow lotus flower. "This was a gift from Gharen Wolfsong, crafted by Jajara Jara. Gharen and I don't see one another often but this reminds me of his love and his kindness everyday. I've only had it for a few months but it's more precious to me than I can express."

Kage takes off his beret, he shows it to the others. "I used to have a smaller one of these, a white feathered beret. I gave it as both a goodbye and a present to someone who I love dearly."

He paused before taking out a book from his pack. He showed the contents of one page. It was a string, pressed flowers and herbs onto the page. He paused, glancing around the room before whispering softly, "This was given to me by one I spoke of before. It helped me in a time of great need and recklessness."

Erik was swaying a bit, a warmth filling him, warmth he thought long gone cold. He ran a finger around the back of his neck, pulling up a cord with two silver rings, "My wife... when she left to sail she would leave her wedding ring. She was always afraid she would lose it overboard. I put this cord on every morning... I miss you my love."

C'kayah grinned languorously, his eyes taking on a distant look. He tugged at a cord around his neck, withdrawing a small bag of fine, supple leather from inside his shirt. A flame colored feather dangled from it, tied securely with waxed thread. He loosened the thread closing the bag slipping a lock of pale pink hair from within. A fine ribbon tied the hair, and he held it as if it were an item of great value to him. He smiled at it, as if at a long-departed lover, before replacing it in the bag and slipping it back inside his shirt.

"Now that we've had this question, let me ask a new one: If you were to die tomorrow but have any one thing you wanted today, what would it be?"
