* She looked to her left at empty room space, perhaps wondering to herself why exactly she cared at all, then nodded to herself and looked back at Dal*
" I don't care what your type is... What I do care about is being counted out for anything!... I can do anything any city person could do... sometimes better!
I also refuse to acknowledge that being soft and delicate are traits more desirable than strength and wits!... someone who can take care of themselves is a prize anyone would be glad to call their own, and it is not just me who thinks so!"
* By this time, she was standing up, leaning over the table and in Dal's direction. She stood there in silence, before turning scarlet in the face and sitting back down, her palm resting on her cheek as she chuckled nervously in embarrassment*
" I am not sure what came over me..... I'm sorry...."
* Her attention then darted to the child who sat with them, using her statement as a distraction*
" You are too young to know about things like that.... and like he said, we are just martial artists settling any disputes we might have before they create tension in the empire..."

*Dal sipped at his soup through Kahns tirade looking up at her with innocent eyes. Did she really think of him as a city boy? Perhaps from the perspective of a barbarian any culture established in a permanent settlement could seem worlds apart from hers. What was more interesting was her statement about not wanting to be left out. He forced himself to not roll his eyes at the thought of what Quie-Ra might say if he heard Kahn talking about tension between them.
When she settled down he put his spoon down and spoke.*
"Hmm It's alright don't be embarrassed... I'm surprised at you, your words are so confident but at your core you're worried others wont see your value."
*He was analyzing her quite obviously now, a push that he hoped wouldn't anger her immediately. So he took it lightly and preceded with a veiled compliment as a buffer. His inquisitive nature was getting the better of him, and one of his favorite activities was digging into peoples heads.*
"Because you see, I agree that such traits are indeed desirable, and I personally don't think a persons abilities or value is determined by where or how they grew up. You and I are both good examples of that, the gods having decided our worthiness already. I just didn't think you cared about my opinion of you."
*He leaned back and cocked his eyebrow, smirking in his amusement.*
"As a note, I'm surprised that you think of me as a city person! You already know I wasn't always an Admiral tucked in a cushy manse."

*Uichcka smirked and then laughed, a girly sound ringing out through the room*
You're a good one, Moon-Lady. I've never seen someone do that before! And my mother told me about that stuff, so it must be true!
*she looked over at the haughty Solar man. There was something odd and manipulative about him, like he didn't know who he was and it annoyed her. Still, her mother told her to make friends while she was here, so she figured she wouldn't be mean to him. Still, she wasn't going to let him get away with lying*
Why are you always trying to make her happy? She can be mad sometimes... Maybe you just like to be an eel, Mr. Solar? Or maybe this is what foreplay looks like. Hmm...
*she put her hand to her chin as she scrutinized them both, her forked tongue flicking out a few times as she gauged them*

* Kahn shrugged a little as she sipped her soup, still feeling small from her outburst*
" I don't know... I was never like his before... I guess its from being saved from certain death by someone who seemed far too frail to save anyone.... I don't know, sometimes my emotions get the best of me... also admitting I need help is hard for me. I am not sure what came over me, but when we first met, I had intended to challenge the empress for her supplies of arms and artifacts. I am still stinging from having to swallow my pride"
* she took a large bite of her beef, exposing her tiger like fangs as she did so. If the way she carried herself did not project her barbarian nature, her eating habits did.
She smiled as she chewed, patting the forked tongued child on her back.*
" you don't talk like a child. No, there is no foreplay going on in this Manse, I can promise you."

"Pride... Yes it's an interesting thing pride. Despite what some might think, true pride can never be stripped from a person. It's like a river, you can build the mightiest walls around it, control it's flow and make it serve your interests, deny it's majesty and power and make it seem a small thing. Behind those walls a force grows to the brink of control and even the tiniest crack in that wall of fear... The whole thing erupts and destroys everything in it's path... often even the good things. After the water is violent and murky for a long time."
*He smiled and cracked open a lobster claw.*
"Future attempts to control such a person will not be taken lightly in the future I assure you.
I'm still learning this myself, and have spent many nights awake trying to understand what the breaking point in my past was. I was also volatile afterwords... it took the events leading me to exaltation to make me aware of it. I've taken on monkhood while I try to figure out what to do next. I only say this because our situations were similar, so you can take it for whatever it's worth to you.
Before your face the ones that tried to conquer you, you should think about taming your emotions; unfocused anger cost you a fight tonight..."
*Dal shook his head, a little embarrassed at himself for lecturing Kahn.*
" I'm sorry you probably don't want to hear any of this... I'm not one to give advice about these things."

*Uichcka frowned at Kahn and folded her arms over her chest in reaction to her own indignant feelings*
I'm not a kid, I'm ten! My mom says everybody knows that stuff so I should, too
*she huffed quietly to herself and went back to eating. These guys weren't that fun, after all. Now they were just arguing and apologizing for stupid stuff they didn't do. Maybe she would go see what that laughing guy was up to when she finished eating. At the thought of a smiling face, she ate faster, careful not to spill anything through her tongue. It was always getting in the way*

* Kahn smiled, shrugging a little as she set her spoon down to push a strand of hair out of her face*
" Its okay, Dal... if you can believe it, Lunar society holds five pillars of conduct sacred... one of them being wisdom, and it is wise to listen to those who have experiences... even if they are none too different than your own"
* She placed a hand on the back of the child, rubbing her softly as one might their own child*
" then you must be very smart if your mother finds you worldly enough to know of such things..."

*Dal nodded and smiled, he hadn't expect Kahn to react this way, nor did he expect her to be so warm toward children. That just demonstrated to him that he really didn't have the right to make hasty judgements about someone so proud to be a barbarian.*
"Ah well take it for whatever it's worth to you. Gods know I was a proud bastard in my past life. Both of us used to blatantly make fun of the Emperor and Empress irreverently! Scales would know all about that, her access password was 'Pull the legs off a spider' in old realm! Hah-aha!"
*He plucked some lobster meat from it's shell and dropped it in his mouth while he giggled. His face turned a shade of brownish brick red from resiting more laughter.*
"I tell myself I've learned more humility in this lifetime."

*Uichcka hummed a little as Kahn rubbed her back, still carefully slurping her food and answering in between bites*
She says everyone should know
*slurp slurp slurp*
Are you guys going to make up and have a baby?

* Kahn took a spit take upon hearing those words. She quickly tried composing herself, but began coughing softly instead. With a deep breath, she cleared her obstructed airway and spoke up to the child, rubbing her back once more*
" You really shouldn't make assumptions like that... Things rarely work out like that in the real world. Most of the time children are long planned and should not be undertaken lightly.... and no, there are no children in our foreseeable future"

*Not only had Dal's joke fallen flat, it was completely overwhelmed by the crazy things coming out of this childs' mouth. His shock drained all attention away from his fingers as they inched secretly toward his gnashing teeth and in a moment he had bit down hard on his thumb. He had enough time to widen his eyes and consider screaming several choice words in sea tongue to abate the pain when a shower of soup sprayed from Kahns mouth hit him square in the face.*
"DAH!!....
*The combination of events sent him into an uncontrollable spasm and he fell backward in his chair to the ground with a crash. His arms and legs flailed as he scrambled back to his feet rubbing the hot soup out of his eyes.*
"WHAT THE... FFf --!?"

"EEK!" * Kahn hopped off her seat and over to Dal, lifting him off the floor and gingerly placing him back on his seat.
In one quick motion, she tore off the bottom of her shirt and began using it to wipe the soup off his face and eyes*
" I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to it was... well... I am so sorry!"
* she carefully finished dabbing his eyes with the bit of shirt, before stepping back, her cheeks flushed slightly. The fabric from just under her breasts was now completely missing, proving that Kahn was more of a high reps low weight trainer... either that or she was constantly under the cloak of Lunar concealment magics*

Ahahahahahaha!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
*When Kahn spit and Dal sputtered, the little girl burst out laughing. This was hilarious! Who knew that her soup would have landed in his face!! When Kahn ripped off her shirt, Uichcka lost it and fell backward off her chair with a loud THUNK*
Eeheehee!
*Despite her fall she laughed, rubbing her butt gently so nobody could see her hurting. Then she crawled under the table to see if those two really would try and make a baby. The tiger woman had ripped off her clothes and leaped at the eel man. Still, they might not if they thought she was watching, so Uichcka took a few deep breaths and willed her body into stillness, calming her breathing so that she looked like a glassy-eyed statue*

"I'm fine, it's fine! Just surprised me is all..."
*He tried to at least sound like he had regained his composure. When he slowly opened his eyes they were bright red and still watering, his whole face contorted with the effort of keeping them open just long enough to get a blurry eyed glimpse of an attractive woman's mid section and the hint of her breasts just under the shirt in his face before she stepped away and his eyes slammed shut again, making him go back to rubbing them. What he needed was some cold water to rinse the stinging fluid away, and so, he stood slowly and tried to force a smile.*
"I'll just go to the wash room for a moment and wash up..."
*He could barely open his eyes, and he began staggering in the direction he thought the bathroom was in, blindly waving his arms around in front of him like a pair of insect antenna. Whatever Quie had put in that soup to give it it's spice wasn't agreeing with the sensitive membranes of his eyes, some sort of chili? Those ghost chilies he'd once put on a sandwich? He distracted himself with thoughts of which ingredients might be causing him such discomfort. All the while staggering across the room slowly, looking like he might take out half the furniture in his path to the bathroom.*
"I'm fine... I'll just be right back..."

* Kahn got up on one knee, a look of worry still on her face as she took her orange hair in her hand and twirled the ends... Her mind was a blank for a moment or two, worried for Dal's sight... until she remembered that he was an Exalt. Kahn got to her feet, her hips tilting on their axis and resting the toe of her right boot on the floor, exaggerating her silhouette as she placed her hands on her hips*
" Looks like I was right... he couldn't handle me...and I am a biter too! Bound to scratch bone with my fangs"
* She crooked her neck to the side, sending the sound of the popped joint echo through the dining area*
