He found the grove of trees peaceful as the group traversed through. He noticed the symbol on the white tree and that axeman behaving...oddly. He looked back at Aeliir and said, [color=silver]"Life...was difficult when I was growing up."[/color] He paused again as he brought up some painful memories. [color=silver]"I often had to fight others who were bigger than I, or who outnumbered me just to get food or not get beaten or robbed. At first I simply used my bare hands, but one time I grabbed a nice study stick and thrashed a guy rather badly. I am not proud of what I did, but thats not the point. After that, I grew to keep a weapon at hand at all times."[/color] He chuckled softly. [color=silver]"At that time, I though I was top dog and invincible. But, later, when I had matured and joined the Guard, that impression was knocked clean out of my head, literally. I can't count the number of times I was knocked on my ass, pardon my language. So, in essence, I trained with a weapon simply to protect myself."[/color] He said, then he grinned at her, [color=silver]"I have enjoyed our talk, but I must see to my teammates now, best if you did the same."[/color] He didn't even ask her about herself because he had a hunch that it was very personal to her, and he always trusted his instincts. [color=silver]"Until next time, milady."[/color] He said, giving her a slight bow, going back to his formal manners out of pure habit. Kelsier walked over, and caught up with the three other people who had been assigned to team broccoli. He walked next to them, as they began to talk about dog breeds. [color=silver]"Dogs?"[/color] He asked, after a pause in the conversation. [color=silver]"I like dogs, so I take it that you are a dog breeder, Miss Andica?[/color] He asked, politely.
