Glancing from the sprite around the room, Thantos notices D'Aleen's glance and smiles. Hearing Sexodus talk about the family, Thantos thinks back to the early years with his Father. The years before his father was killed. They were happy times, his father trained him regularily and hard, but there were fun times as well. Rides through the country, always ending in some sort of lesson of course. "This is how you can ride lower in the saddle and away from your attackers if needed. See the plant over there? It only grows when there is ample fresh water around. Follow the path it creates and you will find water to drink." But nonetheless the rides and the time spent with father were great.
"And then he died...and I've been trying to live up to his reputation and his expectations ever since. " Thantos thought to himself grimly. "I sure wish he could have met D'Aleen. He would have loved her.."
Shaking his head gently Thantos starts to look around at the swords and weapons on the wall. Taking the occasional sword off the wall and swinging it around, testing its make and feel, Thantos tries to determine the type of warrior that lived here through the only means he knew of...his knowledge of weapons.
"D'Aleen pretty much said it as it was Sexodus. I joined this troop at the request of a summons. Things have gone strange ever since. Although there have been perks to the journey I really would like to find out why we are here and end this journey soon..."
