Better to be hurt by the truth than comforted by a lie -

To say they were wise was an understatement. To say they were aged was an understatement. Everything about them screamed ancient knowledge and experience. The idea of [member=2039]bai shi.[/member] ever being youthful was beyond him, were beings like them ever brash and wild? Possibly but it seemed as if they never were such.
Because of this Kydobi listened to their words with his mind and heart paying dear attention. What he said was true, it was a warning but not necessarily the kind that made you want to defy its possibility. For it was true.
And he knew it.
But he had yet to witness anything terrible. No murders. No betrayal. Sad to know that his group was the one causing strife. How many were killed? There wasn't a whole lot in his tribe. And so many were small.... What damage could they really do? Kydobi suddenly realized that he may be the weakest of them all. For how could Jervis and his people be so formidable? Powers... Trickery... Hmm.
"secrets shared on boundaries are safeguarded by eternity. you have my word and my support..."
Kydobi sighed, he hoped he could just cause peace. But he did not really care as much as he had made it out to seem. Harmony was only desired so he could finally rest somewhere without chaos. If he failed he failed, but he wasn't at fault yet. Truth be told he had only spoken to Jervis once. He would need to play less defense and more on the offense. Chase conversations and interactions with the sly fox.
If all went wrong he could always become a loner again.
"you sleep in a snake's den, my boy"
I actually prefer high above the branches, it was a joke and he was glad he did not speak it for now it seemed disrespectful. But snakes couldn't climb could they? Eh.
Bai Shi was a kind creature, one that evoked trust from another. But what he has told them was a stupid decision and so he would be more careful now on. For now he looked around him as they walked, there was small settlements of clay with imperfect asymmetry. They contrasted with the straight edged temple. So meticulously crafted and designed.
The pillars and even the carvings. However Kydobi followed the dragon into another one. There he would see children play... It just occurred to him that there wasn't really youth in the Pitt unless kidnapped for ransom. Kydobi sighed, he never really cared for kids anyways. His mind briefly thought back to his mother's newer litter, it was a very tender topic and he quickly fled acknowledging it.
What he did acknowledge was how much at a disadvantage he was at. Yes, he felt like an intruder. Like an imposter for being allowed into the heart of the territory. Some were sleeping. Some were at play. And how many were doing neither? How many were dead because of the Pitt? Possibly none. How many Pittians were dead? Possibly none. But the logician knew that was far fetched.
Sure Bai Shi was kind or perhaps they were just wiser than most to cause unnecessary violence. What if they had plans to use him for ransom? It wouldn't be unheard of, surely not all of the Rosebloods were of the same nature as their dragon counter-part.
Kydobi looked in the direction of the watering area, he gave Bai Shi and expecting look. Did they want him to head there on his own? But he got up and walked carefully and lightly trying not to draw too much attention to himself. Lowering himself he drank till his thirst was quenched and then some for the travel across back to the jungle.
He headed back to them and sat. It was nice here.
"You know Bai Sh-, Lynn... There isn't many children in the Pitt. Perhaps that is a good thing. It isn't really a place for the smaller..", once more he regretted his words. Now they knew there was no future generation to take place of the casualties.
He made a mental note to talk to Jervis about that.
"So how long have you been with the Rosebloods?"
