[QUOTE="jkason, post: 2539086, member: 2710"] Ru smiles, the tension in his shoulders already easing as he takes a bite of the biscuit. He'd always been one to gulp everything down, worried about filling up while he had the chance rather than savoring the act of eating. Like so many other things in Ru's life, studying under Master Gis has changed this, as well. Ru takes his time finishing the biscuit, sipping the tea, letting their flavor wash through him, indulging for these few minutes. When he's done, he returns the cup and saucer to the waiting Gis, then bows his head deeply in respect. Only then does he speak. [color=darkorchid]"As usual, Master Gis, you seem uncannily aware of what I need. Thank you."[/color] Despite the newfound bubble of calm within him, Ru presses on, grimacing slightly. [color=darkorchid]"I've gotten myself in trouble again. I'm sure you're not surprised. Ari's set me the task of somehow backing the Killi-kelli-hek out of the Red Lamp district. Obviously, no brute squad I could put together would take them out. And you can't just throw money at them. "But there has to be ... I mean, they're people, right? There has to be some way to communicate with them, to win their respect or their fear or ... there has to be something that drives them beyond madness. Otherwise, they'd have done [i]themselves[/i] in ages ago. I just don't know where to even start looking to find that out. "I'm open to advice or contacts you might have, though I also wouldn't blame you for sending me on my way for getting myself in this mess in the first place."[/color] Ru cracks a smile, adding [color=darkorchid]"I don't suppose you have a rare, herbal cure for cannibalism hidden around here anywhere?"[/color] [/QUOTE]
