[.Never Betray.]
"One of those times again. I dislike how my body goes through water so quickly, and how dehydration affects my physical form, but I suppose that's the price I paid when the shaman healed me from near death. Now its no more than a nuisance when I catch it in time, and as long as I don't go over board I'm alright. This was such a time, there was no high risk of cracking skin, nor terrible function loss; however I needed the drink none the less. It was there at the water's edge in Yisi that we, Eurkna and I, happened upon a bone-clad Aeri stallion by the name of Lucius.
As usual I didn't really get into the conversation, and lucky for me my companion is more on the chatty side than I am. They spoke of some interesting things I suppose, but what really grabbed my attention was the talk of ideals and morals Lucius had. Very similar to my own I must say, which I can respect quite a bit. I always did hate the cowardly nequus not willing to get their own hooves or horns dirty in a situation that called for it. That's probably why I took a shine to to this Aeri fellow. If you can call it that anyway, I still feel somewhat indifferent as most of the conversation hadn't interested me.
There was this one part close to the end of the encounter that bugged me though. However its no fault of Lucius', but Eurkna's. Apparently she does not believe I have killed another nequus, and though I am not ashamed of this I do not wish to burst her bubble. Is she really this... innocent? If that's the word I'm looking for, than I can't help but think of Maria and Mika, whom I pushed away, in the same light. What shall I do with her? These thoughts may keep me up at night."
