It was more than a little reassuring to hear the Captain speak of peaceful times. In fact, it put him greatly at ease. Here he, and what little of his family was left, could be safe. Pandora would never grow up to know the kingdom Kysis had loved, but it was better than having lost her in the battles. It was good to know that she had a high probability of never seeing war again in her lifetime.
War was a terrible thing.
The comment about advice, which Kysis\' keen ears picked up on, had him glancing up, searching the Captain\'s face to see if she really said that. She had. Kysis hoped it never came to that. Seeing another place decimated was not on his list of to-dos. In fact, Kysis did not even want to think of it. He had too recently settled in Oberon to.
"Kreos was by the sea." Kysis answered back sharply, though he had not meant to. She was just trying to be funny, by her tone and all. She could not have known. Kysis looked down at the table again, taking a sip of his own beverage, a mellow wine which would not taint his mind in the least. There was work to be had after the meeting, after all.
"Also, there is already a well established weapon\'s merchant in Ravenshom, whom Tiberius knows. I could not invade upon that territory." That was more friendly a reason, Kysis hoping the Captain excused his snappiness. He was on edge. That should be understandable, right?
