Watching as the rogue goes rigid, he sighs inwardly and shifts his foot after a few long moments of waiting as if he's getting up, stills when the man moves closer then kneels, kissing his boot. Studying him, he watches as Zay straightens, gaze flicking to his boots then back to him, silent before a laugh escapes, a light chuckle "I didn't think you'd actually do it. Though, I was going to stop you had you decided to. Eh, too late I suppose. You passed the test."

"I didn't think you'd actually do it. Though, I was going to stop you had you decided to. Eh, too late I suppose. You passed the test."
Zay's eyes widened in disbelief, then narrowed with a snort, half the mind to punch him for making him stoop so low. However, he shoved it aside with a deep breath and a nose curl. "Next time, I'd suggest you keep that information to yourself, m'lord," he grumbled. "Not all rogues are more than willing to let someone go after something like that."

"As not all knights or commanders here would let that half assed threat go." Galen retorts, chuckling, gestures to the seat across from him "Come, have a drink." he suggests, revealing a bottle "Unless you'd rather go start your training now?"

Zay's lips twitched in a smirk as he looked at the seat, then took it with a sigh, slipping his bow and quiver off, laying them by him. "I could use a drink."

"I could use a drink."
"Then a drink we will have." Galen murmurs, smiling halfway before he hands him the bottle with a snort, sipping from his own flask "So how do you end up being a rogue?"

"Then a drink we will have. So how do you end up being a rogue?"
Zay took the bottle with a nod in thanks, then took a sip himself, mulling over the question. "It depends on the person. Some do it for the freedom, others with darker motives. Some as a means of survival."

"And you? Why do you do it?" Galen asks, tipping back his flask with a soft exhale, relaxing slowly

"And you? Why do you do it?"
He swirled the contents of the bottle, hardly feeling the warmth from the liquor due the ice that resided in his bones. "Equal parts survival and finding my place with a dash of a darker motive." A short and mirthless laugh escaped him. "Though there's really no point. What's done is done and won't ever change."

"Equal parts survival and finding my place with a dash of a darker motive. Though there's really no point. What's done is done and won't ever change."
"A darker motive?" he echoes, tilts his head, studying, soft sigh, lifts his sword "Do you know how humans are like blades, rogue?"

"A darker motive? Do you know how humans are like blades, rogue?"
"They can be reforged and sharpened, tampered with and either made better or worse than they already are," he answered wittingly, taking another swig. "It all depends on the smith that conducts the work. Then they can be used to fight or defend, save or slay. Again, depends on the one wielding them."

"Correct." he murmurs after a moment of silence, thinking "You're the first in a long time to answer that question correctly, you know."

"Correct. You're the first in a long time to answer that question correctly, you know."
He gave a small smile. "Someone told me the same thing years ago." After another swirl, he took another swig then set the bottle down, leaving it be.

"Someone told me the same thing years ago."
"Did they now." Galen murmurs, running a hand through his hair before sighing, small smirk "Did Avery ever tell you why it is she became a Knight?"

"Did they now. Did Avery ever tell you why it is she became a Knight?"
"No," he answered truthfully. "And I never thought to ask, as I try not to delve into other people's pasts."

"No. And I never thought to ask, as I try not to delve into other people's pasts."
"Fair enough." Galen murmurs, tilting his head when he notices Avery's sword "She sent Rizuin with you?"
