"I like to see and hear things with my own eyes and ears. Always find things a bit different than what I'm told about them." Aur explained to Ayzebel. "No judgement here. He held up his hands, palms out, and smiled. "Everyone has their own reasons to do the things they do."
The knight hesitated for a moment. "Mind if I ask how growing up with the Sect of Glass was like? I don't really have any sort of reference for that, so I'm curious. If that's too personal, I apologize." Aur glanced at his armor next to him for a moment when Kerr mentioned his mostly sheltered upbringing. "Yeah... Making up for lost time, is all. Other worlds, even. Its amazing when you take a step back and think about what we've all done and been."
"Hah, we're all allies here Kerr, no need to worry about that." Aur said earnestly, smiling wider. "Off to save our world and maybe help a few others in the process!" He tries not to think about the snowy village or its talkative chief. "Irios is a good person." The knight nodded, the links in his armor rattling softly at the movement. "He wouldn't hurt someone without a good reason. Besides, rumors are rumors. I bet its more complicated that that, what I usually learn about things, heh."
"Ah, I see." The knight said neutrally. "That explains a few things. You two must have a lot of expectations placed on your shoulders. You both wear them well, though." He nodded flashed a smile.
"I've heard the name, but that's about it. I haven't seen much outside of Miccah or the palace, admittedly. Are you a member?" Aur asked curiously, setting down the plate he was buffing to give her his full attention. Seeing Kerr approach, the red haired man waved happily. "Hey Kerr! Thanks!" The knight looked embarrassed at the praise. "Although I did mess up a few times. But I'm still learning about everyone in the group., so I can work better with them" He gestured to Ayzebel.
"Build up and degeneration followed by regenerating the damage past what it should until it restarted the cycle. We didn't realize at first because the damage was mostly internal." Tap, tap, thonk. Tap, tap, thonk. "I haven't tried to stop taking it because I'd rather not find out if I would fall back into the rhythm." Aur was silent as focused on working the dent out of his armor, speaking again when he think he has it good enough until he can get it to a proper armorer. The knight sat the plate down and focused on Ayzebel. "I can talk more about it if you'd like. I've dealt with and came to peace about the time before the tincture, but its a bit of an uncomfortable subject, isn't the fondest of memories. We can talk about something happier instead, though, if you'd like. You're pretty skilled with a bow and sword, considering how you hold them; you trained in a military?"
Aur actually seems more uncomfortable now. Despite that, he answered truthfully. "You would think, yeah. Its actually more... Because of it, really. Makes sure it only does what its suppose to do." "Oh, ah... Just a tincture, is all. Strong stuff, so I try not to taste it." His face pinched at the thought, rubbing off some dried blood from one of his armor pieces without thought.
"Irios, come quick!" The knight called out to the healer and moved forward [14,2] to protect his brother and STABed the soldier.
