"Ah, knights in shining armor... Saving innocent people from evil raiders and beasts. At least it seems like you had some good parents who wanted progress. Mine only wished to hold me back to tradition."

*The uzhi lets out a scoff, looking up.*

"I guess that's one thing between you and I. Coming from a not so wealthy family and becoming some pretty damn good mercenaries, despite the circumstances. Eh?"

*Serena holds out a fist to the blond for a fist bump.*
Mike
*He nodded, and listened to her, frowning a little as she spoke of her parents' lack of supporting her dreams. He couldn't imagine how that felt, but he chuckled a little, nodding.*

"Well... Yeah, I'm glad my parents were like that."

*He agreed, and watched her hold out her fist towards him. His smile grew once again, and he fist bumped her.*

"Yeah, its certainly a bit surprising. Nothing one would expect, of course by a chance meeting."
Raymond
"Yeah... Hey, want to hear about the time I encountered a Kraken?"

*The uzhi smiles, but with a small hint of bitterness.*

"It's also the reason why I'll never trust those arrogant, haughty, backstabbing knife ears again. The haughty ones specifically."
Mike
*He listened to the question of her telling the story of encountering a Kraken, and he raised an eyebrow.*

"A Kraken... As in the great beast of near mythological strengths? How did that go?"

*He asked curiously, though he was a bit concerned given how the story related to her opinion on High Elves. He had a suspicion of what might've gone down, but it was best to hear it out.*

"You have certainly piqued my interest in this story for sure."

*He shifted to sit down, to listen to the time she encountered a Kraken, interested.*
