”I don’t know Jaki, there is a lot I just don’t know. I haven’t seen her since she was empress and I don’t even know if what we have…is allowed. I guess I will just have to find out.” He really hoped that this Roland has something interesting to bring up; the subject of Epic’s relation to the empress was not one he wanted to openly talk about. He looked over his shoulder to see where about the waitress was for a refill on his tea and looked back to Jaki.
”I’m sorry, I know you are a grown woman now, it’s going to take some getting used too. You are always going to be my –little- sister anyway.” Just knowing the reaction he would get was enough to let a small chuckle escape his breath, it was then that Roland spoke up. If there was anyone Epic had ever met that was not in the least bit shy around new people it was this man for Roland Moonstar went right off. Epicurus was almost taken back a second before locking on to a part of the man’s speech and trying to follow. When it seemed over Epic gave a nod, it was obvious that Roland was a man of action and Epic liked that kind of quality in a person.
”Well, I am but a Lord Protector and not for long. A position behind a desk is not for me, my mind keeps wandering to the times of the Dark Alliance war and what it was like to fight for what I believed in. I am a warrior at heart, a fighter in the name of honor and justice under Aslan not some politician waggling his finger from high in Juliana Palace. For now I think I shall seek my adventure here in Prime, that is, after I leave my city in capable hands.”
