Steel smiled at Warren as he spoke, the adoration she held for the man already reaching a wellspring. There were numerous times it was told he was but a simple, humble man, but here it was unfolding before her eyes.
Simple, humble...but maybe a bit enburdened?
"Aye, well Ul'dah's surely got a history around gladiatorial contest. Suppose it's not a wonder people're flockin' to one that doesn't appear beholden to th'Monetarists. Some 'purer' version'a the Bloodsands."
She finished her rum and signaled for a refill before continuing.
"But I'm still not so sure it'd just simply run on in perpetuity...it takes a leader's mind an' charisma to assemble such a thing and to keep it a place'a learnin' and growth 'stead of some random melee in th'desert."
Her glass refilled, she raised it to him, her warm smile broadening to a toothy grin.
"I know no better man that fills those qualities, Ser Warren. An' like it as not, this realm has need of such exercise. I suppose ah'm simply thankin' ye for the work."
The glass lifted a bit higher in a toast before she downed a healthy dram of the rum, her jaw jutting forward as she inhaled through the burn with gritted teeth.
