Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saraf gave a nod of his head, knowing full well how that sort of thing went. He was aiming high meaning that he was going to end up displacing a lot of others, meaning that he would likely anger them, become a bigger and bigger target. It was why he wasn't doing such a thing alone. Giving a ghost of a smile he said, "Luckily I am not foolhardy enough to make the climb all alone, I am going alongside others. At least that way I won't be completely exposed and alone when I do finally achieve my goals." If he had others around him then he wouldn't be an easy target... not that he'd allow himself to become an easy target in the first place. Not as though he was going to be on guard at all times once his ambitions became well known among those whose spots he was aiming to take over.

"It will all be worth it though." All the training, all risks, everything, it would all be worth it the day that he finally got what he wanted. Of course once he was there he wondered what he'd do next. Once he no longer had anywhere else to climb to... though he supposed that he'd be too busy to worry. Once he was in power he meant to impliment changes that would help his people after all. The piss poor leadership during the war against the north was what caused them to lose, Saraf knew that, and he wouldn't leave his people so poorly lead once he was in charge!

"Naevius." Saraf said, then gave a bit of a chuckle, "Well, Lady Naevius that is. I really did got a lot of her friends in quite the mood when I called her just Naevius in front of them. To be fair when I first met her was before I really knew who she was." He was quite amused by the manner in which the others reacted, getting their panties into a twist over Saraf not being as polite with Naevius at the time. Nowadays, were he to meet with her again, he'd be more polite of course. He was just a little more brash when he was younger. Given his desire to reach the top though he was going to have to more careful when it came to titles.

Giving a smile he said, "She was interesting enough, we did a bit of chatting a while back, and I would like to chat with her again one day. She's likely quite busy these days, but maybe I will be lucky enough to catch her again one day." Once he became an army general it was likely he would need to intereact with her more, though meeting on friendly terms and not just business reasons, would be nice too he felt.

"That is true." He was sure that such people could have difficulties when it came to making friends, especially since Naevius was bound to know that there were those out there would want to use her because of who and what she was. The sort that Saraf didn't trust but knew he'd need to interact with one day if he wanted to get ahead. The thought made his stomach churn a bit but he tried not to think on it too hard. No reason to worry about that sort of thing when it hadn't happened. Yet at least. He'd leave his worries about the back stabbing portion of the nobility for another day since thinking too hard on them tended to put him in a mood.

Looking around Saraf gave a bit of a laugh as he realized how late it was getting, "Yes, I should be on my way as well." It really was time that he got back home so as not to cause his mother any sort of worry. Standing up Saraf stretched out all over before he said, "I look forward to chatting with you again. If you ever get bored do look me up, we can train together." He told the other man before he turned, starting on his way toward home with Elred hot on his heels. It was getting late meaning that soon it would be time for dinner, after that a bit more training, a bath, then Saraf turning in for the night so he could start everything over in the morning. The meeting with Reillan had been a pleasant diversion but it was time to get back to things once more since he couldn't slack off forever.
