Kayle extended his good arm, greeting his groggy comrade. Â "That's one way to put it, aye" he said with a pained grin. Â "Take it easy a moment, let her mend those wounds. Â And take this.." He handed the thin vial the tribal had given him prior to the encounter. Â "At the moment, I think you've need of this more'n I."
As the female Miqo'te knelt beside Desmond, Kayle turned to S'demyx with approval and put his hand on his shoulder  "A strong victory for you today, for all of us.  Your tribe would be proud, and I should not forget your names."  The massive highlander approached with his couerl astride next to him, and both appeared to be grinning.  "I think you've earned that meal now, friend" he said, and gave him a nod.
Holding his left arm, Kayle retreated a few paces to inspect the field around them. Â After a brief survey of the immediate area he spotted his discarded blade and reverently retrieved it from the ground, placing it delicately back into it's scabbard.
"Tis unfortunate to 'ave met under such circumstances, but I am thankful all the same. Â Whether it be merriment or mayhem that bring folk together, I welcome the company." Â Glancing north, he takes a moment to reflect. Â
"I've not been 'ere long, but I intend to stay for the sake of my family, for Ul'Dah, and for the realm. Â Knowing that there are men and women like you gives me strength; it gives me courage to carry on. Â We were strangers but a few bells ago, and yet here we are, a collection of wanderers, warriors, healers. Â Looking for purpose, for acceptance, for a home." Â
He chuckled to himself and looked back at the group. Â "We gather like driftwood, but I've yet to see a coast in the desert."
