Role

Chapter 7

Progressing throughout life has been a fairly challenging one for Xupreth,
probably moreso than he ever thought possible. Given that and his middle
years now upon him he has been thinking to another side of life. Duty is well
and he hopes to continue doing so, even beyond his current form. However, the
finer points of life he feels may eventually need more attention. Recently
celebrating the blessing Lord Whiysdan offered to the Justiciar, this caused
such thoughts to surface, unintentionally. Although Purmodin swears to
secrecy, Xupreth is still a bit embarassed over the situation but accepts him
as a trusting friend that may eventually well to speak with, even in those
regards.

The thoughts had begun back just before the dwarf, Braham, being married off.
Xupreth had been deeply disturbed after being flirted with and invited to a
"bathhouse" by him. Not opposed to the concept of men or one's gender for
that matter in a mate, Braham was far from an ideal choice.. Mainly given the
abruptness and almost sickening lude behaviors. This experience however,
awakened another part of him.. That one day he would like to have one to
commit to, moreso than just what his duty would permit. After these deeper
thoughts coming to the surface, if anything he found he has become quite fond
of the elven Magistrate, Garthalon. His reasoning and thoughts are that he
finds his mind much like his own. Garthalon has said on many occassions that
he looks up to Xupreth and Xupreth considers him a close kin.. maybe crossing
to the point where he might want wish to explore the concept but feels it
might be inappropriate or Garthalon may not see him that close. Perhaps in
time something may come of it. Knowing its not something easy for elven to
express such emotions their sense of pride and duty tends to get in the way,
he tries to see past that as much as possible.

On a side note, it seems much which Xupreth had thought might have been lost
in a personal level with Purmodin over one's duties to the spire in both
their past, have come to light. Xupreth feels either ammends were given on an
inner nature or they both now see their purpose is not a whole lot different
in the end, with Purmodin ought being as true a friend as one can have. It is
pleasing for Xupreth to admit this as he felt there were hard feelings for a
bit, however justified they may or may not have been. Anything he has done to
this point has been with the best intentions for the better good.
