Prayer

[Namari Lovelle]

"That's a tough one...most battles I have had that I've never fought the person, they didn't stand a chance. Probably because they underestimate me." she nodded. "I guess I just don't have any set best fights, really."

Namari paused, then continued, "I'm also one of the best fighters in the arena. Most of the younger people come to me for help."

[Steele]

"Aye if yer ONE of thee best, than obviously that means there be stronger right?" Steele asks inquisitively finally getting the nerve to pet the gecko on its back.
"Has any nit' kicked it in thee arena yet? Ye know, died?"

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari grinned at the boy petting the gecko. "Maybe...The best don't fight against eachother, though. We just...don't want someone being called number one."

"Only in death matches. A few times by accident in friendly matches, but thats all."

[Steele]

Steele laughed.
"Nd' what nit would accidentally kill one of his lads? Well have YE been in any death matches hinny?"

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari frowned, and nodded. "Yeah...As you can see, I won them..." she laughed half-heartedly.

[Steele]

"Did ye hinny? Did ye REALLY win them? Cause ye' can win them nd' still die on thee inside. Ye should be proud ye one! Ten ti one says thee other lad isn't so happy." Steele jokes.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari chuckled. "I suppose those other guys are not happy, hmm?" She frowned again, sighing.

"...I don't like those kinds of matches..." she muttered.

[Steele]

"Aye but what otha' way dee ye prove yer dominance than with yer own life? They knew what they signed up fir nd' they payed thee price fir bein' a fool nd' ifin it weren't ye killin' em it probably would've been someone else right?"

[Namari Lovelle]

"That may be true, but...I...just don't like the thought of people taking lives..." she sighed, head down and trying to hold back the tears. She couldnt help but think of Peter.

[Steele]

"Plenty of people in thee world hinny. Ye either kill er be killed that's just thee way it is. Thee nice finish last." Steele said looking out to the shore. He sounded just like Balius.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Oh? And...what if ou are a child who can not defend yourself...do you deserve to die? Or do you deserve to be killed by multiple different men, just because of who you love?" she gritted her teeth.

[Steele]

"Sorry hinny but that's thee way thee world is. Not everyone can live happily eva' afta' nd' thee few who do are changed by it." Steele stopped when he saw Namari's frown.
"But hey, fir every bad endin' there's a good one out there somewhere." He says pointing to the Gecko happily cuddled with Namari.
"Ye just have ti find it."

[Namari Lovelle]

"...do you think I should keep him?" Namari asked Steele, refering to the gecko. She found it to be nice company.

[Steele]

"Hey if ye don't it'll have ti live life alone, probably cursin' thee day it twas born. Nd' they live a long time too." Steele joked. "Yes ye should keep him hinny, but what are ye going ti name it?" Steele says with a smile.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari thought for a moment, before grinning. "Peter. That's his name."

She looked up at Steele, smiling widely. She was happier than before she moved to Avaleur.

She stared at Steele for a few more moments, before blushing and looking at Peter, continuing to pet him.
