"An interesting perspective, Kevin. However, some of us might be longing for a bit more longevity than that and will thus not fold before they have gained what will be rightfully theirs. Cherish is surely bound to feel similar. Just ask her when she finally gets out of that simulator where she seems to be living these days.
Oh, and by the way, Kevin, watch your language. To quote our venerable Loremaster: 'Only someone wishing to deliberately scorn the language and shock the listener would use contractions.' Remember that."

Cherish wipes her forehead with the back of her arm, dressed only in a tight white t-shirt, and a pair of equally tigh shorts, she was quite a lovely sight as she finally climbed down from the cockpit of her Hell-bringer. She rubbed its chest affectionately as she made her way down the ladder, pausing to examine pitts, and tears in the armor from the live fire exercise she had just participated in. While the energy weapons power had been dialed back to 3% of maximum, they had still left a good scar as a remind of her successes, and her eventual loss. Even the projectile weapons had been weakened, but again, their was still some risk in the exercise, which was the point of the Wolves trained, a simulator could never match the feel of even a weakened power combat, hence their rare if ever appearance among the clans.
Leaping from the ladder at about the 4 meter mark, she tucked herself into a dazzalingly athletic forward roll, and came easily to her feet. She patted her mechs leg warmly, "If the last training seesion was an indication, then I shall test out at the top of the Sibko." Cherish boasts before turning to Kevin and what she heard as she was dismounting.
"You also need an education Kevin, you are talking like a freebirth, using contractions like that." Cherish says with a shudder at the butchery Kevin is making of the language. "Yuri is quite correct, no sibkin of mine is going to fall so far as that, I would make them see the right of the matter in a circle of equals before the sickness had progressed that far." the female warrior said strutting seductively, as she paced, intending to catch Yuri's eye and show her obviously confused sibkin the clan way of doing things. "I would couple with you tonight Yuri." she said, intending to make her siblings understand by her rather brazen example.
(Actually, by clan standards there is nothing brazen about going up to a complete stranger and telling them you wish to couple with them, it is seen as the norm, there is absolutely no big deal about sex. It is just to comfort one of your closest friends, or to take pleasure in their company, there is no deeper meaning)

[ooc: Forgive my asking, but where was the contraction? 
]
Kevin raises an eyebrow, waiting till Cherish has made her request to Yuri.
"I thank you for pointing out my mistake and ask you to forgive my slip of the tongue," he adds politely, then says a little more sternly, "But I request that you not tell me what I may or may not need."

(The contraction was What's, in clan society it would be, What is.)
Cherish arched her eye-brows at Kevin's request, she could not bring herself to believe that her sibkin had just 'asked' her what he had. "You know the Clan way Kevin, you know what options you have availible, deal with it." she said sternly, angry with him for interrupting before she had gotten Yuri's response. She turned back to Yuri waiting for his answer, turning away from Kevin as if the matter was resolved.

Yuri eyes Cherish speculatively:
"It has been quite some time since you last could tear yourself away from the cockpit for such things. But yes, I would like that, too.
As to your continual training, it might very well come in handy soon, if some of the rumours I have heard are accurate. It seems the Smoke Jaguars are up to something."

Doghead,
a few words on your PC if you don't mind?
While I realize the intent of the Unarmed Combat 3, especially in light of our discussion the nature of trials, perhaps the points for the third level would be better spent on Gunnery/BM? (Level 2 of unarmed Combat already gives you the ability to use improvised weapons without any malus, rather fitting for Tarnish, don't you think so? )
Regarding Cryptography and Security Systems, these are both skills that are simply not taught to warriors (especially not the dishonorable second!) so I assume you learned them when you sneaked into the technician quarters. [Wonders what Tarnish's true reasons for doing so were. Looks at Seduction skill, oohhh!
]
Another point would be concerning this very seduction skill: As seen in Shalimar's post, sex is rather casual among the clan warriors with no exceptional meaning attached to it. (Quotes form the canon: "Intimate physical contact is a sign of affection, [but] it does not with it emotional baggage that it does in ours." (Spoken from a Inner Sphere point-of-view) and "Sexual activity between the members of a sibko is considered as normal as you watching out for your sister.") Of course, it might still be useful even under these circumstances and there always the lower castes, where you seem to be spending a good amount of your free time. (Though this might be looked down upon by other warriors somewhat.)
[BTW, the only way to make Tarnish even more hated by Yuri would be to choose the Jorgensson bloodline instead of the Conners one.
