[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Barnabas and Airitech



"Daily?" He asked, surprised. "Alright. Yes, there's not enough time or opportunity for that, yes." He said, thinking about if that was how often humans bathed. That didn't seem healthy. No wonder they all seemed so lost and soft typically.

"Also, to be honest. Worse. It's like you have a grudge as a smell. But that happens sometimes, can't be helped."

Barnabas and Lain



"Mmm..." He reached out a hand slowly, palm downwards to her, offering to shake. "Friends we shall be then, Lain. If you wish I would be grad to reciprocate. But one other thing I will offer you to consider. There is a difference between listening to the words of those under you and letting everyone have an equal say in everything and neither are necessarily better than the other. So long as you respect your position, and those under you respect you likewise, there is honour in making the hard choices, in taking that responsibility. When a warrior fights, it is good for him to know that the decision was based on wisdom for the good of the tribe. considerations made that he has not lived a life to judge best on. When things are hard, it's good to look to a leader than have the option to blame each other. But, as your friend, not just as someone who follows you because I trust your ability to lead, I will support your choices and actions, and if I disagree with you it will be because I am your friend and I know you would want to hear my words."
