David knew nothing of why Velmaia had issues with Neria. To him they were petty at this point, there was more to worry about right now. An apparently unstoppable force, an unnamed power, something no one had seen was terrorizing the land. He did not like that Leara had jumped in to come to her aid. That part was rather confusing to David. In the end though he let it be. He simply sat back and listened to the two ladies talk.<br/><br/>The conversation about Kalithor shedding some light as to why Velmaia was as upset as she was with Neria. Of course it was when Leara suggested that she teach David that he became interested even more in the conversation. He continued to listen to Maia and Leara talk, and he felt his blood boil when Leara tried to deflect helping him train.<br/><br/>David slammed his right fist down hard on the bar, a crack forming across the surface from where he made contact. His untapped potential for strength showing through in a moment of rage. He felt the stare of all eyes on him, judgement being passed as a hush of silence fell over the crowd. He tried hard to keep his voice down when he spoke next, but it was increasingly difficult.<b>"You keep selling yourself short. No Leara it was you they mentioned by name to be my teacher in the fighting arts. YOU are the one who should do it, and no one else. Though if your confidence in yourself is really that low then I guess you are right, you should go and find someone else." </b>He turned to face Maia next,<b>"and you, I don't give a damn about your little squabbles honestly. This whole damned thing is bigger than you or Neria, it involves all of Eldorath. You think you can stand toe to toe with whatever this is all by your self then be my guest sweet cheeks."</b>Then his voice boomed out to the rest of the crowd.<b>"Let it be known here and now, you can help me or not, according to the Council I am the best hope this world has at survival. If you don't like it fine, stay out of my way, but don't try to manipulate me or hinder my progress."<br/>
</b><br/>David knew he likely sounded like an ass, but this was a combination of emotions and confusion boiling over. Rarely had he displayed such a temper before, but now his heart was racing, and actual flames danced in the pupils of his eyes. Something that was not likely to be missed by Maia at all. He sat down and drank while most of the crowd actually began to talk in hushed tones amongst themselves.
