Welcome to Gaia! ::

Smiling, Desmond stuck his hand out towards the other man. "I look forward to our duels, good sir." For once, he didn't truly feel as anti-social as usual(even with Rajani's apparent disdain of him) but he kept thinking about Soibhan and her angry retreat. Edgar had wounded her pride and she wouldn't be very happy with Desmond referring to him as 'Sir'. He had a feeling that she would still be in a tizzy if he tracked her down and confronted her, but he wanted to do it anyway.

"Ma'am," he said to Rajani, bowing his head somewhat stiffly as he rose to his feet. "I do believe I will take my leave of you two for the evening. It has been a pleasure."

Clicking his tongue to get Liadain's attention, he dropped a pile of coin on the table. "Oh, and Sir?" he added, catching Edgar's gaze with his good eye. "Don't discredit Soibhan so easily." With that, he left the remaining two Chosen behind, his own Guardian following with a flick of her tail.

Edgar simply nodded, watching as Desmond left the table. He didn't doubt that there was more to Soibhan than he had seen, but neither was he inclined to think her other traits would be more admirable than the ones he had noticed. There was always the chance he would be proven wrong, of course, but Edgar was prepared to believe it only when he saw it firsthand.

"I wasn't aware that holding back was an option," he said finally, matching Rajani's smirk with a grin. There was much training to be done, but Edgar felt confident he could face her and give his best, whatever that might be.
