Soldaer sits up from his bed, although he isn't wearing his armor or weapons belt. "Pretty good. Up for that drink I promised you while we were in Sigil?"
"If youd like to... Its definitely a night I need a drink on"
Soldaer stands up, smiling. He moves and closes the door. "A drink between two friends. No need for anyone else. What're you in the mood for? I've got just about anything aside from that SYNA you have."
"Anything and everything.... I just need a distraction. A lots happened..."
Soldaer nods, a smile on his face. "So...Something strong." He starts moving over towards his cabinet, gesturing to the seats as he does. "Have a seat. I think I know just the drink."
She sits down, sighing, and clearly thinking
Soldaer returns a minute later, two different bottles and a pair of glasses in his hands. "Desmianian Fire Whiskey or Blue wolf vintage Feywine? Your choice E."
"Probably Blue Wolf"
Soldaer nods, setting the bottle with the red liquor on a table nearby. He walks over setting the two glasses on the table and deftly opening the bottle, pouring them each a glass.
She quickly begins to drink
Soldaer raises an eyebrow, but drinks his as well, albeit a bit slower.
"This is gonna be... A crazy next week or so"
"You're talking about the...mission we have to go on?"
"The mission... Atemos... Nox.... All of it"
"Yeah..." Soldaer takes a long sip of his glass.
E keeps drinking more "Thisll be my 3rd time killing a humanoid... 2nd time on purpose..."
Soldaer nods. "I...Have killed many, but always in defense of my people." He seems to become very saddened as he says this, and drains the rest of his glass, pouring himself a brand new one.
*FYI, this is about 160 proof alcohol or so, so very potent*
"The only person Ive killed in defense of is me and Kalnor. Though Joshua benefitted all when he got what he deserved. Time to add 1 person to the 'killed for' list"
Soldaer nods. "Indeed." He takes another drink of his glass. "You really do seem to care to Valitya, E. And no, I'm not teasing you. I'm honestly surprised and glad to see this side of you."
"Shes... A young girl. Shes scared. Her life seemingly chosen for her, with dangers before her, and pathways blocked. Honestly... She reminds me of myself not too long ago. I... Can feel a lot of what shes feeling. Things no one should have to feel. Especially without someone there to.support them"
"Very true. But now she has you, and she'll have a strong circle of support from the rest of us."
"Hopefully..... She.... She says she wants to return to her adopted family. I... Want to help her. To assist her in feeling better and safe, but... Im..... I cant put her in contact with them in a good conscience"
Soldaer puts a comforting hand on her shoulder. "E, yes you can. They've obviously raised her to be a kind and wonderful young girl. If the way their child, especially and adopted one, behaves isn't a way to see their character without meeting them, then nothing is." Soldaer's pale green eyes search E as he says this, almost seeming to pierce into her mind.
"But... We both know what they are... Theyre nobles... Liars... Valitya is kind. But... Theyre probably not. Most nobles are monstrous excuses for people. I... I cant let someone like Valitya go.to monsters like that..."
Soldaer sighs. "Not all nobles are bad, E. Some are, yes, because they let the power go to their head and corrupt them. But most aren't. Szaren isn't. Yazrin isn't. Heck, the entire Winged Alliance, the biggest allies of my people, all four nations are ruled by Royals, and every single one of them is a fair and just king or queen."
*Soldaer starts internally debating as to whether or not tell E that Caelum is a queen, and therefore Phantom will be a king in just a few days.*
"Theyre liars. All of them are corrupt devils. They may act like they arent, but its a ruse. A deadly, monstrous ruse."
Soldaer sighs and shakes his head. "Joshua really scarred you, didn't he?" Soldaer takes another drink from his glass. "Those nobles you have met and dealt with, the ones' you call devils, are the ones who let the power corrupt them. Many actually use that power to help their people, and to protect them, E. That is true of almost all of the nobles in my world. E, not all nobles are corrupt."
She shakes her head "Youve fallen to their lies. They all have their secrets. They all are corrupted by their power..."

"*sigh* I meant as in taking that choice of giving up demon lord, & before you ask yes I heard you talking."
“I assumed so. My companion is rather flightly, if you could excuse him. I’m Nessa by the way.” She extended a hand to shake, a gentle smile on her face.
Still facing away they put out their arm out to shake her hand "Gust." *if you don't need a description all you need to know is that they have a red blindfold over their eyes.*
“Are you blind? How can you see me?”
"Years of training plus being an air-genasi allows me to feel the air around me, & feel the bends it makes around things, kinda need to use that to 'see' as my eyes are just there."
“Interesting. How long have you been training exactky?”
"Well I'm no longer training but how long it took me to get this down was, about 5 to 6 years."
“And what do you know of demons?”
"That they're filthy beast that seek nothing but chaos & destruction, I know first hand, that guy didn't seem like other demons however." They say, head still facing out into the distance
Nessa nodded. “Which is the issue. Is it worth the risk in the long run, or should the corruption be uprooted before it’s even allowed to start?”
"Dont know what your talking about, but corruption is never fine, it is always best to have it pure, heart, soul, mind, & just everything."
"Atemos... Werewolves and nobles arent the same... Werewolves are a species. Species are different within the same population. Angels can fall... Fiends can rise... Nobles...

"Well... Maybe with my last resort... Could you try asking around for now? But... If we dont get the answers we seek... We may have to threaten the answers out of a kidnapper thats gone there before"

Soldaer sighs and shakes his head. "Joshua really scarred you, didn't he?" Soldaer takes another drink from his glass. "Those nobles you have met and dealt with, the ones' you call devils, are the ones who let the power corrupt them. Many actually use that power to help their people, and to protect them, E. That is true of almost all of the nobles in my world. E, not all nobles are corrupt."
She shakes her head "Youve fallen to their lies. They all have their secrets. They all are corrupted by their power..."
Soldaer shakes his head sadly. "I have met kings, queens, princes...Some even walk the tavern, and you don't know it, E. Youd don't realize who they are, because they don't fit into that rigid box you have in your mind of who nobles are, or who they are supposed to be. Tell me this: What makes Szaren so different from other nobles? His character, right? How he treats others?"
She nods "Hes kind. He actually helps people. Unlike them, hes no killer. And he doesnt think himself greater than others"
Soldaer smiles. "That is true of more nobles than you think, E. Szaren is not a once-in-a-lifetime example of that. You've had bad dealings with corrupt ones, but many aren't corrupt." He smiles wryly. "Including myself, E. Yes, I am a noble, and have had dealings with the corrupt ones before. Even helped dethrone a couple." He chuckles. "Soldaer Torrae, crown prince of the Twilight Elves. That is who I am, and you never even knew it."
Soldaer sits up from his bed, although he isn't wearing his armor or weapons belt. "Pretty good. Up for that drink I promised you while we were in Sigil?"
"If youd like to... Its definitely a night I need a drink on"
Soldaer stands up, smiling. He moves and closes the door. "A drink between two friends. No need for anyone else. What're you in the mood for? I've got just about anything aside from that SYNA you have."
"Anything and everything.... I just need a distraction. A lots happened..."
Soldaer nods, a smile on his face. "So...Something strong." He starts moving over towards his cabinet, gesturing to the seats as he does. "Have a seat. I think I know just the drink."
She sits down, sighing, and clearly thinking
Soldaer returns a minute later, two different bottles and a pair of glasses in his hands. "Desmianian Fire Whiskey or Blue wolf vintage Feywine? Your choice E."
"Probably Blue Wolf"
Soldaer nods, setting the bottle with the red liquor on a table nearby. He walks over setting the two glasses on the table and deftly opening the bottle, pouring them each a glass.
She quickly begins to drink
Soldaer raises an eyebrow, but drinks his as well, albeit a bit slower.
"This is gonna be... A crazy next week or so"
"You're talking about the...mission we have to go on?"
"The mission... Atemos... Nox.... All of it"
"Yeah..." Soldaer takes a long sip of his glass.
E keeps drinking more "Thisll be my 3rd time killing a humanoid... 2nd time on purpose..."
Soldaer nods. "I...Have killed many, but always in defense of my people." He seems to become very saddened as he says this, and drains the rest of his glass, pouring himself a brand new one.
*FYI, this is about 160 proof alcohol or so, so very potent*
"The only person Ive killed in defense of is me and Kalnor. Though Joshua benefitted all when he got what he deserved. Time to add 1 person to the 'killed for' list"
Soldaer nods. "Indeed." He takes another drink of his glass. "You really do seem to care to Valitya, E. And no, I'm not teasing you. I'm honestly surprised and glad to see this side of you."
"Shes... A young girl. Shes scared. Her life seemingly chosen for her, with dangers before her, and pathways blocked. Honestly... She reminds me of myself not too long ago. I... Can feel a lot of what shes feeling. Things no one should have to feel. Especially without someone there to.support them"
"Very true. But now she has you, and she'll have a strong circle of support from the rest of us."
"Hopefully..... She.... She says she wants to return to her adopted family. I... Want to help her. To assist her in feeling better and safe, but... Im..... I cant put her in contact with them in a good conscience"
Soldaer puts a comforting hand on her shoulder. "E, yes you can. They've obviously raised her to be a kind and wonderful young girl. If the way their child, especially and adopted one, behaves isn't a way to see their character without meeting them, then nothing is." Soldaer's pale green eyes search E as he says this, almost seeming to pierce into her mind.
"But... We both know what they are... Theyre nobles... Liars... Valitya is kind. But... Theyre probably not. Most nobles are monstrous excuses for people. I... I cant let someone like Valitya go.to monsters like that..."
Soldaer sighs. "Not all nobles are bad, E. Some are, yes, because they let the power go to their head and corrupt them. But most aren't. Szaren isn't. Yazrin isn't. Heck, the entire Winged Alliance, the biggest allies of my people, all four nations are ruled by Royals, and every single one of them is a fair and just king or queen."
*Soldaer starts internally debating as to whether or not tell E that Caelum is a queen, and therefore Phantom will be a king in just a few days.*
"Theyre liars. All of them are corrupt devils. They may act like they arent, but its a ruse. A deadly, monstrous ruse."

She seems... Surprised, but is mostly keeping calm "Then... Youre being lied to by the people of your same status. I KNOW what things are like. Ive been on the streets. The parts they want ignored and glossed over. Ive lived what they lie about. Almost every noble is corrupt, murderous, and horrible"
