Sweet Success

[Lorelei]

Lorelei nodded her head. She was a bit confused, he changed the subject a lot. "Yes, three months exactly."

[Deleted]

"Have you met any other people, or do you have too strict of a schedule?"

[Lorelei]

Lorlei shook her head. " I have only met a few people. Is that unusual?"

[Deleted]

"Not really, just suggests you are a shy individual." he felt bad for changing the subject so many times. He was trying to find something he liked, but he shouldn't be so selfish. "So you work at the theatre, the garden, what else? Go ahead and tell me about yourself, if you will. It's not everyday you meet a performer after all."

[Lorelei]

" I am not that interesting. Besides, we have only been speaking of myself. What about you? You seem to lead a more productive life." Lorelei suggested.

[Deleted]

Roland chuckled, "You seemed to be very interesting so far, but we can switch to me.... For now." he joked. "As far as more productive," he again chuckled, "I don't think you could say that. I think I have the worst possible job as far as productiveness. I am a Knight of Avaleur, I train soldiers to fight for people like you. The ones who can't fight for themselves. And I teach them how to do it right. That's about it, I hunt sometimes but other than that, that is it. Boring isn't it?"

[Lorelei]

"Boring? You are very silly. That is the least boring thing I have heard. You are a very strong and talented person. We need more people like you. "

[Deleted]

Roland chuckled, "You can tell all that by just listening and looking at me? What if I had been lieing?" he asked. "As for more like me? I wouldn't say I am perfect by any means, I mean I make some terrible mistakes."

[Lorelei]

"It is no worry. Every person makes mistakes." Lorelei stated. "Is that not correct?"

[Deleted]

Roland smiled, "Well, yes. I do suppose that is true." Roland was always his biggest critic. "I think if we had less people like me, I wouldn't want to be me," he laughed, "I wouldn't be unique ya know?"

[Lorelei]

"That is a valid point." Lorelei said, willing to accept his answer. " Being unique is what makes people interesting, I suppose."

[Deleted]

"I mean life may be interesting I there were more like you." he imagined the sight, "It would be like a gigantic musical!"

[Lorelei]

"It would be a world full of people who are over worked and under paid. Though I suppose it is already like that." Lorelei laughed it off. "The world as a musical would be more interesting though, I agree."

[Deleted]

Roland raised an eyebrow, he had always thought that was were the money was. The arts, "I didn't realize you were underpaid."

[Lorelei]

"Of course. During wars the arts suffer greatly. There are many people who still come to the theatre, but dramatically less than usual. Most money is spent on weapons and such."

[Deleted]

"Oh, well ya. I knew that during times or war the aptly was reduced but what about in peacetimes!"

[Lorelei]

Lorelei shrugged. "In other towns it is a lot more profitable. But this town spends too much time repairing itself."

[Deleted]

Roland was interested on this, "So you think we should let it stay in ruin?"

[Lorelei]

"No, of course not. I think that is why the town needs more people like you. Strong people who can defend it so it won't constantly be ruined."

[Deleted]

Roland smiled lightly, he didn't think himself as that strong. I mean, he could barely protect the town in the first battle. "Thank you, I do appreciate that."
