The guardswoman merely nod and bowed her head slightly before returning to her duties, seeming to accept the facts as they were. There was a small smile remaining on her lips though and she stood a little bit straighter at the gates even as Kayna moved along with Tehr past the gates and towards the stables.<br/><br/>Once Tehr turned his attention towards Kayna in turn and spoke to her, she watched him intently as he said what was on his mind, but blinking at the threat he had said she kept her expression mostly neutral, though a bit of a raised brow was apparent. While she did not appear to look at him with scorn or serious doubt, it was obvious she wasn't too intimidated either at that moment. Looking at him in that moment quietly he waited before he sighed and spoke again, and a small smile crossed her lips briefly at his apology before he appealed to her honor, something which seemed to hit home well enough that she nodded her acceptance quickly afterwards.<br/><br/><strong>"Sure, I can see the reasoning there. I try and follow the strict codes and honor dictates respecting others for their devotion to duties sworn but it still doesn't help that my lineage isn't making it any easier. My temper flares quickly and brightly, though thankfully it also cools rather quickly. I regard myself a strong and agile woman, but for a monk I am not the most ... disciplined one. Still, acting dishonorably would reflect poorly on me and giving in to those primal urges <em>too much</em> would be bad for me. I mean I don't have to be stick up my arse all day every day but ugh, yeah I can see it would get bad if I didn't try to hold some sense to things."</strong>She looked like this was a matter she had weighed on her mind earlier as well, looking somewhat tired as she went over the thoughts she had on it, before looking at him.<br/><br/><strong>"While being at the house might be good on occasions like taking a bath and such, I don't think the folks there would be too keen on a big green woman stomping around constantly, especially if there may be <em>high born</em> around. No offense, House Wynt has treated me well after all, but I do know there's some nobs with their nose stuck in the clouds and convinced anyone outside their little circles is a half-wit and half-blood at best, a monster or a sideshow at worst."</strong>She looked a touch disgruntled about the thought before shrugging again.<br/><br/><strong>"I'll hang around the stables, see about practicing a bit in the yard. Could probably use a workout with you, I heard you are pretty good with your staff, and I recall you showed proficiency with another one back before."</strong>She flashed an amused grin, pulling her shoulders back and inhaling deeply followed by a pleased sigh.<strong>"Good times..."</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">... I really don't know how I managed to miss posting this for so long again, my apologies and hope this is fair enough. If you wish we can move ahead towards Tehr's approaching birthday with things after this.</div></div>
