You were definitely Aesrira's Arch-Nemesis. The one trib above all that she loved to hate, so to speak.

I could tell, its fun having complicated, interesting enemies. They are the best kind. Ah! Pride and Honor, just two more examples of how opposed we were on just about every level. Aesrira didn't believe in either.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had a couple of three death days and they can be hard. I also had a string of days where I would die once a login. So I lived most of her life in my regear set, which was fine with me. There were just too many other interesting things to do than gather gear. There were a few pieces I liked for role play reasons but other than that I let the gear flow.

I've done that before too. Actually, from my end, you took me completely by surprise. I don't know what I was thinking but I was so focused on Noelami I never even thought about you. It had been so long since we had the chance to fight I guess I got out of the habit of putting you at the top of my list to peck! Anyway, when you started singing, I was thinking, oh great my bard is here helping me! Next thing I know I'm sleeping! Very nice.

Ah, I remember that day well in Udgaard well. Actually, I was so behind the times I thought it was still a protected city at that point. I only checked help laws later to find out it wasn't.

As far as calling you rabbit, I think it was deer, I could be wrong but I didn't start thinking of rabbits till Kallor started speaking of them. To Aesrira, there was no shame in being a deer/rabbit, only in not knowing you were one. Also, since beasts tended to be fluid in her, she thought it was perfectly fine to be the rabbit one day and the wolf the next. But that goes to pride, as most people took it as a insult, to her it wasn't. It was more a matter of being and freedom of spirit.

Ah! The pat on the head! Yep, that just set Aesrira foaming at the mouth. Doing that was like treating her as a dog, it was as if you had treated her like a slave. But that wasn't an end to our roleplay, at least from Aesrira's perspective. She talked about you alot. Used you as an example with her "cubs" when teaching and smiled every time she got to drink sweet water from one of your skins! So instead of interacting directly with you, it just sort of moved to an indirect interaction, if you know what I mean.


Anyway, good luck to you too. I'm glad your back and having fun.
