As long as they don't let it go to their head and get pompous like nobles born and raised in wealth, I don't mind them. As for the prank thing, Teach me how to do it. That way you won't be the one to blame. * Ali placed his feet up onto the table before him and the couch, a bad habit but he found it comfortable and Ziven could just remove whatever stains would appear on it.* Why do you ask?, Are you nobility?

She arched a brow and held her hand out, a piece of paper appeared there a moment later. She then pushed the paper, which normally would fall to the ground, but instead it floated over to Ali. This was Ziven being lazy. "I trust the instructions will be clear but you are, of course, welcome to ask if anything happens to be unclear." she said with a small smile before taking on a somber look, still gazing at him. "Possibly .. well .. yes and no." she started before pausing and starting over.
The book in her hands disappeared and she took up her chin in one hand. "In short, only females take the throne in the elven peoples I have experienced .. er, well, that I am now certainly related to. My grandmother is of the noble family, however she is deceased. As Brom is her only offspring and he is clearly male .. it is natural that I would be next in line, natural selection, if you will. However .. being banished as I am .. that would not sit well with many." she said softly, staring at no point in particular, slightly unfocused, but on Ali's shoes, darting about from point to point, never settling. She was not upset about his feet being there, simply required something to look at.

Do you want the throne?* Ali arched an eyebrow at her afterwards, waiting for an answer before he continued on.*

"Govern a people who hate me? Reject me? I think not. I am Ziven, I am not a leader. If they were to call upon me for some reason .. if there were no other option, I would though I believe it would not go over well at all. If but for one thing .. it would be to open their eyes to see they are blind to truth, find another to take their throne and return to my life here or wherever I please." she said softly. Though calm, her words came across somewhat bitter, but she did not dwell on the issue.

Then tell them to find another b***h to sit on the throne if they ask.* Ali snickered a bit afterwards, this was his blunt and direct advice. Worst part is that it was the best advice he could give at the moment.*

"Basically .. yes, that is what I intend to do .. however .. I would appreciate the opportunity to have my name cleared .. to no longer be banished. Though it does not hold much impact on my life, I would prefer to be allowed to roam freely wherever I wish." she said softly, finally refocusing her gaze, this time on Ali's face. Her expression was calm, somber, but not depressingly so.

Well I could always stir up some ruckus and then you come, "fight and defeat me" and then you will be considered a hero.* Ali grinned at her, wondering if she would like the idea. Yes he would be violent but he wouldn't kill anyone, break some bones, knock people unconscious, create wounds that would heal and wouldn't leave permanent marks. It hadn't been the first time Ali had taken on an entire city.*

With a sigh, she nodded her head. "Tempting however that would be dishonest and I have no desire to be a hero, especially to them."

Then there's nothing left to do, Elves are very.....judgmental beings and you are either accepted or not.* Ali tilted his hat forward so it covered his eyes as he leaned his head back, this was no way a gesture of him not wanting a talk, just that he felt like resting his neck right now.*

A pained expression crossed her face, she placed her fingertips on her forehead to try to hide this fact. She inhaled deeply several times, trying not to be troubled. "You know very well I need no reminder of that fact. My own people reject me .. they are those whom I relate with most because of my father, and I am forced to almost completely disassociate myself with them and their ways. Ironic to find out, years later, that potentially I, the one whom they cast aside so hastily, may be required to call on me in an official capacity. Shameful is what that is." she said softly, now running her hand down her face, again cupping her chin in her hand, and again looking at him with an odd expression. "My apologies, I promised to move to lighter conversation."

Take one step at the time.* Ali stayed in the same sitting position, wondering what he lighter conversation would be.*

"Mmm, yes. Now I think of other things .. just moving forward, taking one step at a time .. That is the only choice." she said, looking to him with a smile. "Speaking of moving forward .. what is next for training?"

I'm going to teach you how to kick, punch, throw and basicly fight well, then once you've learned the basic, you'll spar with a female rookie soldier of mine and then we'll advance to more advanced training in kicks, punches and the like before you fight her again and so on.* Ali smirked under his hat as he spoke, wondering if she would give it her all against the fight towards his female soldier.*

"I believe I would injure her." she said softly, looking concerned at this but nodded in understanding to the rest.

She'll be injured anyways as all of my soldiers are to fight each other throughout the training so they have a minimum of experience at least.* Ali laughed a little afterwards, Figured that Ziven would be a passive to the whole idea but it wasn't a fight to the death or anything. Besides they would have safety gear.*
