Thus, Ja'rok soon removed his own hides and cloths from his lower body once in the changing room and makes a mental note that perhaps using the wolf his for a better looking cloth might be a better course of action. Either way he soon came out into the baths which were surprisingly shared and removed the towel which he had to pinch together because of the size of him. Stepping down into the heated waters he gave a long sigh of relief as the luxury of a good bath was something that was going to be few and far between for the start of things and as such he was savoring this moment. He enjoyed the eye candy of course as any male of his inclinations would and the sight of Guan washing Keiyurikyouu was definitely fetching. He assumed more so for Elias since the dark elf and warlock seemed quite content in each others company.<br/><br/>His eyes shut and he sank deeper into the waters with a smile on his face. However, his eye opened up to look at Guan as she began to talk some more. About what they were before they came into this world. He listens of course and knows well the walls have ears in a sense. Yet she was finally starting to open up just a little bit. Her life as she described it sounded hellish in it's own sense. She described how she lost her battles with the festering growths inside her that wore her down and hollowed her out. The woman had quite the will to live to be sure. She described that she was to play the part of a villain just as he was to. But to call themselves monsters is a bit of stretch in his book.<strong>"Everyone wants that second chance to break the mold that binds them"</strong>To him they're the heroes now. The so called forces of light did a spectacular job of living long enough to become said monsters and it made his brow furrow and remind him the people summoned before them slayed a god and were trying to play as ones themselves.<br/><br/>He kept the thoughts to himself for now on that end but upon the question Guan posed to all of them he was first to respond.<strong>"Well you know how you grew up and were so wide and full of ambition. And then it seems like things just go out of their way to piss on them? That's me. Just less physical and more motivation breaking."</strong>Ja'rok didn't sugarcoat the fact that his previous life was a complete failure.<strong>"Average guy, didn't do terrible but loved to cook. I was never the best at math and in my chosen major it cost me. Nothing stuck despite my efforts in trying to fix it and as a result I couldn't apprentice or get hired as a chef. Eventually I was out of both time and tuition. Acquired a good amount of debt and had to work it off. Wound up working over the internet on surveys and taking calls as a locksmith with my boss being overseas. So in short dead end job and no way to continue with what I actually wanted."</strong>He gave a cynical smirk on those notes.<br/><br/>It probably made the weakest story in comparison to most but a social roadblock was just as handicapping as a physical one. To himself he's no one interesting in the past life. Least to him.<strong>"I still like cooking but my favorite pastime that is relevant here was Drakes and Damsels. So a fantasy world opening up to me where I could live it seemed like a better chance for a person with no further opportunities and loves to immerse themselves in a different character. Better to risk it all and achieve more than remain as I was and merely exist in mediocrity."</strong>He gave a deep sigh since now everything was out for him at least.
