Varatt was glad that Vivianne opened up and told him of Nimue's past. He couldn't help but wish it was a happier one though. However, now that she was married to Maric, they could both have the happy ending they deserved.<br/>The old knight always wanted something like that for himself, but things never worked out like that. There was always some problem too big to work out, like how much he traveled when he was younger, how stubborn he sometimes was, how clingy the woman was, etc. And now, he was old and well past his prime. Sure, he could still lay most younger paladins like Maric on their asses when they sparred, but it was much more difficult than it used to be now that his muscles were stiff and his very bones protested at times.<br/>"Maric needs a bit of havoc, I think." Varatt said after his chuckling had ended. "His life has been too full of order at times, if that makes sense. It'll be good to have it tossed up with some family life.<br/>"And yes, I'd be delighted to dine with you m'lady, if it is not too much of a bother to ask." He continued. "Anything would be fine. Though I would very much like some spirits. I have a flask of a particularly strong brew on my person if you'd like to have a taste of something different though. I've not met many people who can stand the stuff mind you, but that acquired taste makes it all the better in my book."
