Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hmm. I may call upon your presence again, but please do not worry too much. I am sure I will find it eventually."

As the mixed plate of sea food came out he was curious as to what each item tasted like and wondered why the elves ate something that had...tentacles?

He picked up a piece of bread and buttered it.

"I am having a most wonderful time, yes. Good company makes everything much more delightful, wouldn't you agree?"

Ravor took a bite of the buttered bread as he watched her.

Ravor decided to be daring and picked up one of the odd looking morsels with his fork and popped it in his mouth.
He made a sound of approval as the item practically melted and had a wonderful flavor.

When he was done chewing and he swallowed, he answered her question.

"It's a place without a name, if that makes sense. It's always been there from what I know, but no one ever thought to name the place....so.....I guess you can say I am from nowhere."

he speared another odd morsel with his fork and ate it and made a face.

"Don't eat those...they taste weird and gross"

Ravor finished off a few of the odd things and settled back on bread.
As he pulled a roll apart to butter, he stopped as she asked about family.
He didn't look at her, but continued to look at his roll.

"I do...though being a black sheep and an unwanted child, it is hard to speak of my family."

He buttered his roll, busying himself.
"I used to enjoy my twin brothers company as I looked up to him, but as we got older we grew apart. Then like so much of my family, he became negative with me too."

He smiled bitterly.
"I'm tolerated but not welcomed...."

Ravor smiled a bit.
"But now I travel wherever I wish, doing as I wish."

He was not about to tell her what he really was or who he really was, as that would just ruin the last of the meal. Besides, he told her enough truth that should satisfy her and perhaps give her a look at who he was, before he made trouble in this realm later on.

He smiled.
The elf woman was extremely intelligent and her words had a spoken truth. He SHOULD do what made him happy.
Too bad his new friend won't be happy when he does create his own happiness though....

"It is good you can at least keep in contact with family even if it is through only your sister. A good relationship like that should be treasured."

He ate another roll and ate some other interesting looking thing.

When the food was over and done with, he paid for their meal.

"I know you said it was your treat, but my dear lady, you gave me such wonderful company and companionship, I have not had in quite some time. Consider this my thanks.....that and it would not be right for a lady to treat a male. Old school rules....hope you understand my dear."

He was going to ask if he could chat more with her another day, but he could see a few guards headed their way. Ravor bowed over Astrids hand and then smiled.

"Until our paths meet again, my lady."

He let her go and left as a guard tapped her on the shoulder.
"Lady Astrid, we are here to escort you back to the castle."

Cade arrives at the port city and looks around. Here, at least, it did not reek of destruction and death. It was the same as it had been before he had left, or nearly enough, and that, at least, made him happy. He stretches out his legs as he walks around, looking at the wares with no intention of buying anything at all. There was no need to. Besides, his coin was something he had always used sparingly in the past, just in case he'd need it for the future. There was no need to break such a rule now.

He looks outwards, towards the sea, and goes to buy a piece of fruit from a merchant. He smiles as he flips the merchant the required coin, then bites into the juicy fruit, feeling the sweet juices enter his mouth. He smiles. It was nice, almost as nice as the ones that he had been growing. He liked these.
