[Day 2, EN] Light Up the Night

[Xal Kimlya]

He didn't seem shocked or disturbed. Xal simply nodded. "The thrill of victory and the satisfaction of dominance."

[Tyr]

"Right," Tyr agreed. "When we were fighting the Republic, we could pick from those we captured, or turned to each other if none were left alive. I was never picky about that." He scratched at another imaginary itch, arkanians have claws too, he thought for no discernible reason. "But those were all, uh, disposable. Thrown way after I was done."

[Xal Kimlya]

"I can imagine." he nodded. "I suppose I've done similar things, though in a more cerebral way."

[Tyr]

"I've never had to put more thought into it than," he pointed at an imaginary person somewhere in front of him, "you'll do."

[Xal Kimlya]

"There's nothing wrong with that, if that's all you want." he shrugged.

[Tyr]

A number of years ago, the first time they’d met, Xal had said something that stopped him short. He’d forgotten, but the memory coming floating back now. Clearing his throat, “it’s getting late,” the shistavanen had slept during the afternoon, he’d be awake all night, but the arkanian probably kept more reasonable hours.

[Xal Kimlya]

"It is. And, it's been a long day." he sighed. "There's plenty of room here, if you'd like to stay. It still isn't clear what happened earlier or if there's an ongoing concern."

[Tyr]

“I slept,” he answered flippantly, “but thanks.” The big wolf-man stood, stretched, and began putting his armour back on.

[Xal Kimlya]

Xal stood and walked to the window, watching the city once more.

[Tyr]

Kitted up again, Tyr padded up behind Xal, surprisingly soft-footed compared to his usual clomping step, "will be okay?"

[Xal Kimlya]

"Hmm...? I'll be fine." He assured Tyr. "I'm feeling better, but I am going to go to sleep. It's just been a while since I've really looked at the city."

[Tyr]

"Right," not sure exactly what to do now, "see you later." Tyr made his way to the door, "night."

[Xal Kimlya]

"Good night." he called back, still watching the city.

[Tyr]

Tyr left the arkanian to his musings, stalking out into the night.
