He had relented the struggle when he saw it was his fellow gladiator. For his troubles, he had been pushed back and away from the parapet, and now she seemed intent on them mating, here and now. It took several long moments before R’Van’s less-than-grandiose intelligence finally locked on that this was a distraction of some kind. Golden eyes looked at the beautiful equine female fighter, gently pressing a kiss to the side of her face.<br/><br/>Although he was a simple creature, he was not without his pride. Gently he would ease Neyly away, to calm the situation between them and force away the prying eyes of the greedy human guards around them. The pillars of thick black smoke that arose caught his attention, and he kept an around Neyly’s waist, instinctively guarding her against the bedlam that seemed to go on below.<br/><br/>He turned to her, looking over at the guards.<strong>“Do we leave, or do we remain?”</strong>He did not understand why they were still here. The person who had to be killed was killed. The crowned heads presented their power, could now feel invincible again and oppress those they desired in complete disregard for decency or consciousness. All was well with the human kingdoms. He gazed into Neyly’s eyes deeply, then broke their gaze to again look below, though not approaching the parapet so she would not throw him back again.<br/><br/><strong>“Civilization is just another word for decadence.”</strong>
