[8:49 PM] Star Guardian Cold: After a wonderful afternoon of talking and escorting the rag-tag group's songstress, Kalenzo had felt famished. His grumbling stomach had begged for him to visit the castle's Mess Hall, hopefully he would have an uninterrupted meal. The man approached the counter, a plate mysteriously left for anyone who wanted to eat it, containing a mixture of fish and rice. He picked it up and went to one of the nearby tables, eating silently and slowly, trying not to bother the other person who was on the other side of the table.
[9:06 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: The tired, bloodstained monk sat quietly eating. He was obviously tired but smiled at Kalenzo warmly nonetheless.
[9:07 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "How are you doing?" he broke the silence.
[9:07 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Lovely, and you?" He responded, not looking up from his food
[9:07 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Tired, but content."
[9:11 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmm, fair enough..." He answered, starting to idly poke at his food.
[9:13 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I'm afraid we haven't met, I'm Versailles."
[9:16 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, I'm Kalenzo." He spoke, finally looking up to meet the monk's gaze. "Sounds like you were a part of the battle, glad to see you made it out."
[9:18 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Ah, yes, and I assume you were the same?"
[9:18 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Indeed."
[9:19 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, I don't recall attending to you, so I suppose you sustained minor injuries?"
[9:24 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I only received a brief healing, so yes... but, the scars still remain," He grimaced, looking back down to his food. "I got quite the horrible burn."
[9:26 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." He looked down. "I suppose its not easy fighting..." He looks at his hands.
[9:36 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "It's quite alright, you do what you must to survive."
[9:37 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "I just wish I could help more..."
[9:39 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "We all wish we could do more, but what's done is done. The show must go on after all..."
[9:48 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, enough feeling sorry for myself." He smiled again. "Wallowing is a waste' they say"
[9:49 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmm hmm, well spoken." Kalenzo smirked, bringing another piece of fish and rice into his mouth.
[9:52 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "So, where do you hail from, if you don't mind me asking."
[9:56 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I'm Khlinese." He responded after swallowing his food, he then began to stare at the man as he awaited an answer, "And you?"
[9:57 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, I am half-Khlinese and half-Gallian, but I've lived in Freyzenwald for most of my life."
[9:58 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I see, quite the fascinating mix of culture you've got there..."
[9:59 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Haha, yeah. It's sort of complicated."
[10:05 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I can tell, sounds like quite family complications. But, I don't think I should pry on that, you're trying to enjoy your meal..."
[10:05 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "No, its not anything I am ashamed of, but I'm afraid it isn't terribly interesting either."
[10:22 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I see..." Kalenzo nodded, putting down his utensils in order to steeple his fingers.
[10:23 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "...Not interesting you say? Really? I'd think that something of that caliber would have some interest to it."
[10:24 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Would you care to hear it then?"
[10:25 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I wouldn't mind, I have plenty of time to burn."
[10:26 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Ok. So I'll start from my beginning. My mother is of Khlin descent and my father was of Gallia. They met in Gallia and fell in love. But after a year, I had been born and my father gave me and my mother up. Not allowing this to discourage her, my mother moved back to Khlin."
[10:27 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "There she spent a couple months, but she realized that Khlin was not stable enough to guarantee a future for the two of us, so she arranged to move to Freyzenwald. There she set up shop."
[10:30 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "She raised me and I in turn helped her in our textile shop. In the meantime, I also visited a nearby monastery to learn. Eventually, when my mother could do without me, I moved into the monastery and became a monk. After a couple of years, my mentor and I toured the continent and just recently came back. I came here to Amaterasu to visit my mother for she had moved her shop here."
[10:39 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "Hmm..." He nodded, closing his eyes before asking, "I guess I should tell you my story, eh?"
[10:39 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Well, I won't force you if you don't want to."
[10:42 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "It's quite alright, I don't mind."
[10:44 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Then, I shall listen intently!"
[10:54 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "When I was born, I was told that I was the love child of a plantation owner and one of his workers." He finally spoke, clearing his throat before continuing. "It wasn't the best childhood, needless to say."
[10:56 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I had worked right up until my father had died and the ownership of the plantation went to the next person in line, thank the Gods that they were benevolent enough to free us from that serfdom."
[10:57 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "I remember the look on my mother's face when she had heard she was free..." He grinned, snickering a bit before looking off to the side. "Brings a smile to my face every time."
[11:00 PM] Star Guardian Cold: "...Regardless, I believe that's enough of that. It was nice sharing stories with a comrade-in-arms, thank you very much for that."
[11:01 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: "Ahh, I am glad you were willing to share."
[11:06 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: Versailles stood up. "I'll let you finish your meal. I hope to see you again!" He walks off with his plate, no doubt to return it.
[5:58 PM] Iron Lord spikethe3rd: =======RP END=======
