[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 2663586, member: 32340"] He nods politely and smiles to her explanation of why she's on the island and tries to absorb as many details as possible in the town. He purses his lips and shrugs. [color=olive]"Well, my life before the order is pretty bland, really. I'm originally from the Second Kingdom, a small farming village called Green Hill. My father wanted me to be literate, so he gave me over to the monastery to become a monk, thinking that the religious life would serve me, or my family's reputation really, better than me staying in the family business of farming. I don't really think it has, since I have not been home since me real training began. Oh, no, don't look at me like that--I'm very happy with my lot, and I know that my family doesn't miss me anyway--oh, now it sounds even worse."[/color] He scratches an invisible beard then finally says, [color=olive]"Suffice to say, all of us are as happy as we can or could be with the way things are."[/color] To prove it he smiles at her. [color=olive]"As for my order, it is not really a religious order, per se, more of the group devoted to the propogation of good itself. We're often known as the--AH! This must be the place!"[/color] He points up at the sign of The Sturgeon, and with wide grin, stands aside and opens the door for her. [/QUOTE]
