Of Beasts and Knights

"That they did. First they let the main force close and fight us. Of course zyleena has a physical inability to follow orders, so instead of taking ten warriors with her to do it, she went and did it on her own. Then heigen and his warriors charged out of the woods, and crushed them between the two of us."

she nods

"They broke quickly. Accept for their great swords. They fought to a man. Zyleena chased down the fleeing men."

"Sounds about right for greatswords"

"They didn't last long with all of us bearing down on them."

"Guessing they took a fair few with them"

"Not really. Surrounded on all sides without support, in the crush they couldn't swing their swords. It was axe and dagger work that day."

"Ah"

"They learned quick, a few dropped their swords and went for daggers. But it really was pointless."

"Hm"

"Noone escaped."

"Not shocked"

"You're not met zyleena have you?"

"Saw her in the fight"

"Imagine that... But with more screaming and about ten times more blood."

"Fun"

"Slaaneshi... *Shrugs, and takes a drink* They're into that."

she also swigs

"Hats off to the lord lady of pleasure though. I couldn't design a better killing machine if i tried."

Rosa: hm.

"Claws, talons, teeth filed to points."

"You got any stories involving we southerners that don't involve us getting slaughtered?"

"... No not really."

she sighs and takes a drink
"Then you must be unusually lucky. If it was all just you beating us then we'd have fallen centuries ago"

"Count your blessings all warbands are not like us."

"you really think you can win in the long run?"

"Tzeentch wouldn't send me here if it didn't serve a greater purpose."

"And if he's just toying with you?"

"Why would he? I've achieved much for him."

"Just another pawn in one of his plans perhaps?"

"Undoubtedly. But he would not squander my use."

"You seem to know what a god wants and how he thinks far more than you should...."

"I talked a lot with him on the ocean."

"If you say so"

"Wasn't many other people around. Except fish. Who's minds are incredibly dull. Dolphins though, enough intelligence to have a good conversation... usually about fish catching methods."

"....okay"

"Dolphins are higher mammals. They're quite intelligent."

"I wasn't questioning it. Not the smartest creature i've ever seen though."

*he takes a drink* "Not as smart as...most humans. Heigen not withstanding."

"I met a dragon once"

".....What."

"oh you talked to fish and that's the weirdest thing either of us have said?" *drinks and chuckles?*
