She wasn’t old by the world’s standards, but Sarista tend to marry young and often, and she wasn’t married. Her azure skin regained its color swiftly as she recovered with a laugh that she would be married to sword-slinging cymrillian, “No, no. He is not mine. He is not one to be chained down,” Aevala stated with a smile, looking over at him fondly before turning to look at her. “And I fear I’m one of those that will only hope to find a heart that is adventurous as mine. Alas, I do not stay and look very long for love and romance either,” she chuckled with a shrug. “Error on both parts, I guess, but everything in its season.”<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"Awww, dear!", the girl seems struck by lightning, before looking at her with a compassion and hugging her closer for a brief moment. Again, it almost looks as part of the dance - except no other couple hugged at this turning step. "I see how you might be unmarried if you move a lot, but I think it's a fundamentally wrong approach that you've got! Why, I would have married a man in every town I visit more often, if I was you. Or are you simply attracted to the other gender? No shame in this, either, whatever the old men say!"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg4152221#msg4152221">Quote from: MadPanda on 19-01-2011, 17:10:19</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I was an apt pupil," she shrugs.  "I was already familiar with some of the basic concepts, for...cultural reasons, shall we say?  And I had no other distractions.  My master was pleased enough to praise me, which might have caused some trouble with the others had I not been so obviously focused on our tasks.  Still, I am not the best among my class.  Just the most broadly competent."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"Broad competences in whatever an Arimite teaches?", his brows arched. "And what, exactly, was he teaching you? I've never heard of Arimite art, I admit, except in the broadest sense of "art", and even then - mostly for preparing chakos. Was that his trade?"
