"Hm... the Delzhan, the Delzhan... Oh! You're from way out west, are you?" She asked after a moment's thought, seemingly filing away his name for later use.<br/><br/>Abruptly, she seemed to recall her manners, and introduced herself. "I'm Starlit Brishah, commander of the Brighteyes. One of my people's over there." She gestured with her chin towards the demonstration, by way of explanation for her presence here. Her eyes flicked to the demonstration, and she winced slightly at a particularly brutal maneuver by one of the martial artists. "So," she continued thoughtfully, "what brings a Delzhan this far east? If you don't mind me asking." She added as an afterthought, apparently aware of how prickly the question could be, but unconcerned enough that she did not rush through the statement.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"West of here, indeed", Krum confirmed bowing. "I am honored to meet you, commander Brishah".<br/>He looked at the demonstration, trying to ascertain the skill of the participants.<br/>"You might say that I am also here for the same reason as you. It was time for my Warrior Journey, so I took it, like all Delzhan should. Of course", he added, explaining it to the foreign warrior, "non-riders don't take one, and remain non-riders".<br/>His voice probably betrayed what the Delzhan thought of "those that can't remain on the horse's back by themselves", as they were called.<br/>"Which one is your student?", he added, focusing extra attentionight on him or her.
