Kali was enjoying the simple vegetarian dinner and the company of strangers whom were adventurers ( at least in a sense) like herself. They may not have ‘married’ themselves to the road as she had but they still shared the same sense of adventure at heart, or so she at least liked to assume of them. Her thoughts slowly turn towards Dal’Tek after she finishes her short story and the two ask their questions. “It is sad news but I have no stories of conquests that involve a Lilith. Most of my time was spent in the desert lands and I have never heard such a name before now.” The elf shrugs her shoulders and finally puts out her pipe, carefully tapping it on the table and clearing the sweet narcotic packed into the bowl.<br/><br/>It was then that the human woman spoke of, her curiosity and youth apparently getting the better of her despite her reluctance it seemed. Good, Kali thought. It is good that she has such a curiosity; such a  thing would serve her well in her brief life. It was better to be curious than content and lazy.<br/>“Her purpose? She had hardly lost her purpose.” The elf nodded her head after she said such, as if she was about to offer sage advice. “ She was young and naïve, like you. However, such things were holding her back. Do friends plot behind your back? Is it really family when they care little enough of you because of your interests and preferences?” Kali shook her head pointedly and finally stashed away her pipe, tucking it in the vibrant sash at her waist. “ Sometimes through loss, you grow. In every fall there lies an opportunity to get up once more, to rise to even greater heights. What you may perceive as a loss, dear  may be but a blessing in disguise. As humans say, there is often silver linings in dark clouds? I think that fits.”<br/><br/>With another slow and sage like nods she looks towards Dal to confirm this before offering a small smile to Verita. “you are young and beautiful, you will see in due time.”<br/><br/>After that the rest of the dinner went swimmingly and often Kali caught herself staring at Dal’Tek, pondering just where tonight would lead the pair when suddenly the same noise that caught his attention caught her own. It was a scream , one of death. The desert woman knew that sound all too well and it was a sound that she would have hoped to never hear here. In an instant Kali is up from her chair , her form nearly a blur as she runs towards the edge with Dal’tek her hands pressing flat on the  ledge as she looked down below and saw the ant-like specks of the invaders engaging in their murder.<br/><br/>Kali swallows hard and looks stunned for a moment but manages to choke back the pain and surprise and instead put on a face of fiery determination as Dal’Tek faces them once more and gives them the news she had very well discovered for herself. It hurt her to know this was what to come of her home, it hurt her to know that when she was finally ready to settle down that she would be cast out into the world again. But like she had told Verita it was simply another opportunity to grow and there would no doubt be an opportunity for vengeance, or so she hoped.<br/>“Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. All in time. For now we flee, quickly girls.” Her sword is drawn with the rasping of metal against smooth leather , the exotic curved blade glinting in the light as she tried to herd the women to where she knew the ships were.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
