Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gahiji starred at the blond shield barer for a long moment as he said that the food was just appreciation for a good fight. He found himself debating over the fight as a whole. It had been an interesting one, one he felt he could learn from. He hadn't really dealt with anyone that used a shield in battle before and it was interesting... to a degree. He tended to get bored fast when someone lose to him but the offer of food did make the guy interesting enough that he didn't wander away the moment that he'd won their duel. It was lucky on the part of the blond that he'd offered the one thing that would actually keep him around.

Lifting a hand he pushed his mask up to rest on top of his head, looking at Xarnith once more, and asked, "I could probably stick around for the length of a meal." He could recharge himself with a meal and see about going on another hunt or something. It was a something made more difficult as others didn't want to go out due to the threat of the creatures called bug mages. They really were making his life more boring and filled with bothersome rules he thought to himself, tapping the piecing in his tongue against his teeth in a thoughtful manner.

Gahiji flipped his weapon around, burying the butt of it into the sand, before he sat down with the blond stranger, starring at the food that was being laid out. A lot of it was similar to what he was used to meaning that the guy had been in Matori for at least a little while. He found himself wondering for a moment who he was, what he was, and why he was around... before deciding that it probably didn't matter. At least not to Gahiji. Not matter who or what he might be he'd been defeated, which meant that he hadn't left a deep enough impression that Gahiji would want to learn more. Now if he'd won on the other hand he might be more interested for sure.

Instead it was the food that he wanted to get to know better via eating it. Reaching out he picked up a good sized piece of dry meat, putting it in his mouth, and set to chewing on it even as the other half still stuck out of his mouth. Lifting his pink eyes he starred at the blond as he introduced himself. After a moment of starring and slowly chewing he finally said around the food, "Gahiji." He supposed he could be at least a tad bit polite since the guy was feeding him. Once the food was gone though so would he be.

Gahiji gave the cat a momentary glance, seemingly sizing it up, before he returned to eating. he had a feeling given the way the man let it sit e wasn't the sort to want to keep pets himself but he knew full well that others did. He'd leave such things to those that were actually interested in pet keeping he thought to himself. He just saw beasts as things to fight or eat, both if he was lucky. Glancing over at the blond he gave a slow nod of his head, "Perhaps. I've only lost once thus far so it's hard to say." His nose seemed to wrinkle recalling that battle before he took another bite of the food he held in his hands.

"I do." He said in response to the question posed to him, "Both people and beasts. I'm going to take on a yaotl single handed one day. I'm gearing up for that." Just thinking about it made his eyes shine a little bit.

Gahiji gave a half shrug, not really sure what he thought about fighting with this one again. He really didn't seem like he would offer up a better fight next time then he had today. That thought seemed to shift just a bit as the other described his partner, how that person had gotten roughed up, and how Xarnith meant to turn his attackers into a 'bloody pulp'.

Perking up a bit he said, "If you show more of that side of yourself then maybe a rematch is something I will be interested in. It's a touch of blood lust that makes you interesting." Gahiji finished up the food that was placed before him he set to licking his fingers off, getting every last bit of food for himself, "I guess I'm off then. Thank you for the food. You go to your housewife, I'll go find some monsters to battle."

Gahiji put his mask back on, picked up his things, and headed off without another word. He felt that they said alll they needed to and if they were meant to meet again for another fight they would.
