^ Avri stares with guilty eyes at rose, finally dipping her head shamefully to stare towards the ground. "Yes...but I didn't have a choice. If I didn't kill them I'd still be locked in that cage...."

< emotions threaten to overwhelm her and she sniffles, wiping a well of tears out of her eyes, "It didn't help a lot though, now he is going to kill me!"

V looking over to the person below, she realizes she wonders if they might have advice they could offer her. "Have you ever been hunted by something so much stronger than you it felt like there was no way you could stop them?"

^ Cilica looks to them, thinking, hoping they were okay. "Does it have to be something... alive? I felt like I was being hunted by my career. Being a Defense Attorney is hard, you're often seen as the bad guy just for doing your job, almost everyone has their mind made up from the beginning, and more likely than not, it's guilty. I'm lucky that so far there's only been two sides to my cases, I don't think I could convince a Jury." she spoke.

< As she flipped through her files, observing her next Client's case. "I'm still new to being an Attorney, so there's always the pressure of being outplayed by someone with more experience than me, it feels haunting." she spoke.

v "What about you? What haunts you about your career? All jobs have their moments, right?" She asked inquisitively, pushing up her glasses gently.

^ "Obviously. I'm half convinced I suffer from PTSD. Or something."

< "I've been shot at thousands of time. And shot a few dozen times, in a few incidents. Not fun."

V "You ever been shot?"

^ "Yes, unfortunately. Hurts a lot more than you'd expect."

< He went silent, grimacing as memories flashed through his head. "Anyways..."

v "Have you ever killed anyone, willingly or not?"

^ "I kill people all the time, mate."

< "Self-defense only, naturally. I'm a warrior not a bloody murderer."

V "Anyways, there ye are, alone with nothing but yer trusty axe in yer hand, and ye got a screaming orc berserker running at ya. Wod do ye do?"

^ "... Ah. Well, I'm afraid that I wouldn't get into that sort of situation in the first place," he commented, an awkward smile twitching at the corner of his mouth. After a moment of contemplation, he seemed to resign himself to playing along. "I have to confess I'd definitely try to flee. I've no experience with an axe. Or battle at all, really."

< Appearing a touch unsettled by the thought of fighting an orc, Harte quietly adjusted his clothes as though the mere suggestion of a fight had rumpled them. "I believe some people are much more suited to the whole 'combat and adventure' thing than others," he offered dismissively as he straightened one of his sleeves.

v "Perhaps a more relaxing topic that's more in my wheelhouse- what's your favorite thing to drink? I mean, in terms of alcohol."

^ "Shit, I love my scotch."

< She takes a drink of her favorite, 33-year-old scotch.

V "Hrm? Oh, uh..." She offers a small glass. It's a large bottle, and, as her favorite, drinks it in small glasses. "...You want some?"

^ "Sure! I love a good drink

< Tends to drink too much.

v Would you like a drink?

^“Naw, I don’t drink. Sorry, I’d hate to turn down an offer, but I’ll stick to my coffee.”

< Brady’s never touched alcohol before and wants to keep it that way.

V “Would you like to talk over a cup of coffee and a pastry?”

^ "Sure!"

< "I love pastries! But I hope that coffee has milk and honey!"

V "How do you like your coffee?"

^ “Hot and Black”

< Its been awhile since he’s had a good cuppa joe.

v “Do you like black coffee?

^ "It is too bitter for me--I suppose it has its uses for someone like you, however."

< "Many human foods and drinks are quite palatable. Some, I try and wonder how a human ever forced themselves to even try it. Acquired taste, I suppose."

V "You look like you could use some break time, what would you like to do?"

^ "Ah coffee. The energy you humans so like to consume on an everyday basis" Sighed looking at it. "I will have to decline coffee is sadly not my choice of drink. Perhaps a bloodberry wine that I made and is aged quite well? Its not alcoholic but its great and looks like blood."

< "As for fights... I love a good fight now and then. Gets the blood pumping and well also blood spilling eh? Fun!" Amused manner eyeing the conversationnwith interest

V "What about you stranger? What ways do you get your fight on? Perhaps you are peaceful and do not fight. Or maybe you just enjoy a good brawl now and then?"

^ "I just fight when I feel like it."

< 'Cause it used to be her-- "It used to be my job."

V "So, what do you do? Job, I mean."

^ "Well I am a Ruler. I look after my world... ah forgive me I mean I WAS a ruler. My world was destroyed quite a while ago. I now simply travel around helping in whatever galaxy that needs help"

< Fck I cant believe I forgot that my world was destroyed. I really need to move on its so depressing

V "Well I don't have a job. Perhaps someone is interested in hiring an assassin or something? Anyone have ideas for me?"

^ "How about some ale and then getting into a right propa brawl??"

< "Always clears me mind anyhow."

V "Nothin' more invigorating than fightin' with a bad hang over, right mate?"

^ "Let us head out to defeat thy enemies."
< "Arrrg treasures be my goal, and thy taste of rum"
V "A beauty of the seas to sail with me crew."

^ "I don't really like the seas."

< "I have a case of motion sickness, so sailing isn't really a good thing for me..."

V "Do you have motion sickness too?"

^ "Yes I do"
< "I love swimming, but have aquaphobia"
V "Do you love to swim?"

^ "Yep! But water doesn't like me much..."

< "I'm completely paralyzed if touched by moving water! How lame!"

V "Being a vampire is pretty tough, huh?
