I am not an army.

Wars not against unkillable spirits, I imagine.

[ A short huff and the sounds of Iorveth scrubbing a hand over his face. ] The wars I have wages have been against men of bone, flesh and blood. I did not need to wonder how to kill them.

Viewing war as challenge to gain honor or glory from is what makes men into corpses.

[ Still there's a vaguely amused tone in it. How much can he really talk about that? He knows that his war back home won't be won, but he went through with killing a king that would have him hunted just because he could. Maybe it was more of a statement. But statements don't really matter in this. They won't be killed because of any kind of prejudice, simply because it was what this thing does. Or at least what it seems like it does. A good point to question the Emperor on later.

There's a laugh at that and he rolls his shoulders, shrugging off the concern of it. It's stupid not be be concerned, but it's also stupid to spend time that won't help being concerned. ]


And expand our ear collection while we're at it. [ Lol, Aisha, u shut ur face ] I am convinced you have some manner of Aen Seidhe blood in you. Perhaps abandoned at birth.

[ he pauses for a moment, thinking it over. There is a certain love he does have for the violence of it, but his reason? Maybe it's more the passion, or the fury, and the violence is the best way to satisfy it. Thinking it will somehow soothe all the lives that have been lost in the name of peoples' greed and hubris, but at the same time, he knows it will never be enough. Shouldn't ever be enough. ] There is something therapuetic in it, but I'm not sure I'd liken it to dancing.

[ Still spoken bemusedly. Are you a ballerina, Aisha? And a legit laugh at the question. ]

Hm, it's hard to say. [ Mock-contemplative pause. ] The lack of bullshit.

Dance is not a talent I've ever claimed. [ Though he has heard people refer to combat as a kind of art - artisans in the craft of killing in a way that looks so elegant and fluid that you overlook the part where peoples' entrails are falling out. Hm. ] You'll have to share that some time, though I doubt either of us use killing for simple display.

[ Someone had actually challenged iorveth to a duel earlier and he nearly laughed. This like that are for knights and pretty noble men with frivolous titles. When you draw a blade on someone, you draw it to spill blood until there is none left to flow.

Oh Aisha you know just the right words to say to him ugu ]


I'm very scarce on conversation partners I don't regularly consider decapitating, it would be an unfortunate loss.

[ you are his kindred spirit and here is a chuckle. ] How very true. Nothing sends a message like nobles burning on pikes.

[ ugu the good ol days ]

I can count on a single hand those I trust without using all fingers. [ gurl u should know that. there's a tired sigh ] But there are others I have included. Out of necessity.

[ there's a soft snort and really he's not sure if he wants to answer that, because its admitting he likes some people, aisha included, and he's too committed to being grumpy. ]

Not telling. [ Said in an amused sort of way that isn't definitively joking or not ]
