Dendra shook her head, no sense in worrying too much tonight. They were smart, they would make it through the night. She noticed as the trainer, his Aron, and even Kiara began moving around. She pulled down her glasses, letting them obscure her eyes and headed off to find some grub. She made a stop by the vending machine, buying some snacks and packed sandwiches for her crew. She stuffed them in her vest pockets before moving on and lining up at the food hall, giving the stinkeye to anybody who even half looked at her funny.<br/><br/>She carried a tray with foodstuffs piled up precariously high, like a greedy and indulgent garbage plate. She spotted the other three and came to join them as they talked about the Nightfires ad Kiara was... again being uncomfortably warm, in more than one way. She sat down with them setting the loaded tray in front of her and began eating off of it as she heard them speak. Then came Kiara's confession... and that was too much to bear. She echoed her own feeling and thoughts... so of course, she had to talk, steal the spotlight and one-up as she often did.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"Excuses, excuses... Yeah, trainers are a sweet deal, you'd get taken care of, get some loving and you get stronger... what's not to like?</span>" she said bluntly<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"As if you needed a life debt or swear on you honor or some lame ass shit like"</span>she looked at the trainer in the eyes<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"You just have to have the balls to take it, no matter how much of a piece of scum you are, or weak, or dumb or ugly. You gotta just look at them square in the eyes and say 'I want some of that'... fuck it" </span>she chuckled, with inflated bravado<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"You gotta say 'I want it all and more, because I deserve it'" </span>It was at that moment she knew what she just said... and she realized she hadn't completely bullshitted it. She blushed and immediately hunched over a bit, and began eating to bury her shame.
