Welcome to Gaia! ::

Willow:
"Oh, I use swords and daggers," Lyriana says. "But I'm pretty good with them. Sometimes, my targets never see them coming."
The drummer finally slows to a stop, whereupon Lyriana ends the dance by artfully twirling you around once more. She keeps her paw-like hand clasped with yours even once the movement ends.

"No time like the present! It's not like anything that desprately needs our attention is going on. " I relpy back to Leina with a more prying voice.

Eventually, the noise gets to me. "ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO TREAT HEADACHES?!" I randomly blurt out and cringe as even the sound of my own voice hurts my head.

I sigh as the people around me continue to ask about my story, but decide to compose myself and get ready to tell this story. "Okay, okay. Fine." I respond as I hold my hands up in surrender. "Well, when I was growing up, it was just my dad and I. My dad was a great assassin and, that being all he really knew, he taught me to follow in his footsteps. He trained me to become great in the field and, after quite a few years, I finally came to surpass him in skill," As I spoke, I took on a stance almost as if I were performing the story. I had enjoyed storytelling many years ago when I wasn't being trained. "I actually discovered this when we were sparring one day and I almost killed him. He never would just allow me to win, that was unrealistic and a setup for failure," I motion to mock a parent's stance and deepen my voice to quote him. "Anyways, once I had reached this skill level, I decided to go out and discover what had really happened to my mother. My father had always told me that she was killed by an assassin, but he claimed to not know much more," I pause a moment as I reflect on this a bit before looking back up to the others with a small smile. "Turns out the assassin was my father," I shrugged and swiped at my eyes when I felt small tears starting. "He had killed my mother when she was going to run off with me to keep me from the assassin way of life." I pause one last time to keep my voice from choking and then get myself to speak the next sentence flatly. "So I killed him. He put up a good fight, but the pupil had surpassed the master and I killed him. Because I did this, he was very high up in assassin hierarchy, I was exiled even from the outcasts. Therefore, I went on to usually kill criminals, unless someone offered a large enough sum..." I shrug slightly as I speak, but start to avoid eye contact as I run my hand through my hair. "And I was actually on a job when all this crap went down..." I trail off, but look up one last time with a smile and shrug again. "So here I am."

Nyx:
"I got ale," Lud says. "And a hammer. Take yer pick."

Willow:
"Well, there is a town roughly half an hour away," Lyriana says. "Maybe there'll be a bar there. And maybe some herbal medicine that we can give your friend for her headache."

Leina:
"...Wow..." Talc says. "I'm sorry to hear that..."
He sets down his bone and looks away, clearly saddened by your story. Xiao also seems very surprised at your history, though she does not comment.

I just look at Leina with a look of confusion. "That seems like an odd game for your dad to play. I don't understand the point of," I say.

"The ale. I'm not suicidal." I say in return.

"Hey, I'm always up with evening our numbers with the Reds a bit! I think we might actually be better off raising an army of our own to fight them off, or perhaps trying to swipe a few of them into our fighting force." I say, as to assert my stance on teamwork, and my intention of a long term partnership.
