Kel'li:
Hearing the knock on the door, she ignores it. Her mind is elsewhere, trying to bury a past that she thought already left long in the past.
The scarred gladiator stands silently by the door, his fist still held against it from his last knock. He leans his forehead against the door, eyes closed, for a moment. When he looks up, he sees the darkskinned cleric walk by. He give the other man an acknowledging nod of his head.
When he speaks, his voice is quiet and lacks the bluster of earlier.
Kel'li, I dunno if'n yer asleep, or awake an' hidin', but I ge' the impression tha' we need ta speak. He pauses, awaiting a response that does not happen.
He sighs, his shoulders slumping a bit.
Wha'ever this is tha' we've all gotten ourselves inta, we're in it t'gether. If'n we canna be friends, can we at leas' na' be enemies?
