2nd October

Autumn Evening -- Poryatu

Goriad Gabanus

She picked her tunic up from the ground, and as she got dressed, she gave him a wondering glance, no longer annoyed, but interested. "So why don't you look for a nice little dame who would be happy to be your lover, instead of trying to restrain someone... like me?"

As Tyra stepped back and picked up her tunic Goriad smilled and spread out his arms. "Behold, I have freed myself!"

He made a gesture to Tyra who was putting on her tunic. "Do get dressed, somehow it seems dressed you ask wiser questions than you do naked."

He sat himself down on the ground, crossing his legs. "Throughout all of this you have assumed I seek to find you in marriage, but you are the only one who even mentioned the word. You claim I seek to restrain you. Why? You can think of no other alternative?" he continued to speak "If you understand your advesaries, you hold power of the situation. Just as I held power despite you holding the knife." He now nodded to her.

Tyra Andrasta Bluelake

He made a gesture to Tyra who was putting on her tunic. "Do get dressed, somehow it seems dressed you ask wiser questions than you do naked."

Tyra considered just walking out on him, but for the sake of the lesson and the four times he bested her, she shrugged, and went to get her pants on. "You are less insufferable when I'm dressed, too."

He sat himself down on the ground, crossing his legs. "Throughout all of this you have assumed I seek to find you in marriage, but you are the only one who even mentioned the word. You claim I seek to restrain you. Why? You can think of no other alternative?" he continued to speak "If you understand your advesaries, you hold power of the situation. Just as I held power despite you holding the knife." He now nodded to her.

She looked at him, investigative. "I didn't necessarily assume you seek marriage, but your condition that if I want you, I should have no one else without you, that's something married couples do. I appreciate the offer to have fun with someone else while we're together, but to forego it completely in your absence, that's... Who do you think I am?" She went ahead and knelt before him, fully dressed. "Also, why would you want to make this into a game of power? Isn't it tiring, to be playing games all the time? Even in bed? Have fun instead."

Goriad Gabanus

Goriad frowned for a second. "This has been a game of power and legacy since the first day I laid eyes upon you Tyra," he said with a sudden stern voice.

He then remained silent for several seconds "You could be among the greatest of all time, if one would teach you patiemce and understanding of the world. You had Aldrakar's respect at such a young age, and when I met you I knew why. You are an heir to two powerful houses, a woman as fierce as the sun, yet still raw and unchanneled."

He paused again to allow his words some time to sink in. "But you have been so occupied with yourself that you failed to wonder about why I would help you."

"I want to help you channel your fire, to teach you patience and understanding of the mind of others. Once you do, you can have fun unrestrained."

Tyra Andrasta Bluelake

Tyra listened quietly, not without a hint of surprise. "You have your work cut out for you, hm? I think ever since I was born, people have been trying to teach me patience and restraint. It never stuck. You'll have a few months to try, I suppose, on our journey. The other half of that lesson... I'd like to learn."

She then gave him one of her unrestrained smiles, genuinely warm. "At least I got to hear the real Goriad, and I like him, even if he has a little penchant for grandeur... Now all he has to do is answer my damned question!"
