”There is nothing wrong with that at all. It’s the people who try to be a hero that always end up on the short end of things. It is better to get away then to stand there and try to fight most of the time…as long as you aren’t harmed the ends justify the means I suppose.” He replied. He was speaking from his own experiences in a way. Nearly every conflict he had ever been faced with had he been given something that he didn’t before. Things that he didn’t want, didn’t need but he kept on taking. Not talking about the possessions that he looted from the corpses of those that were also in the same conflict, he was talking about his scars. He had hidden injuries too, under his sleeves his arms were scared from when he was attacked by a katta…one that still walks around this town actually.
He nodded when he seen the it was time for the jog at set off at a jogging pace as well. He tried to control his breathing but he was hard. He wasn’t doing too bad of a job for this being his first day. At least he didn’t believe that he was.
”I am human he remarked at the comment about the way that he ran. He knew that he was a half-elf, that much was obvious but he always considered himself to be more human then elf. In reality he was half of each, but his appearance, mannerisms, and thoughts were much more human the elf. A likely result of being raised but his father; human, after his mother died. His physique was leaning more and more towards human with the passing brightenings, getting heavier and heavier with the fat that he was putting on. He wasn’t fat by any means, but with his smaller then average human frame when he indulged in food it showed…and ever since he moved in with Finnbarr he had been indulging a lot.
As they made off for their sprint Dzie thought of things as well. He wondered too about the lady that he was running with, if they would become friends, running partners, or just simple acquaintances. Perhaps things would work out even worse, maybe they wouldn’t get along, they were wildly different from one another so it seemed on the surface. She perhaps spent more time with elves then he did. Had she then taken brightenings to make a simple decision because of her long lifetime? Or was she what many of the elves were turning into…humans? It seemed that being in a city with a majority of humans turned the elves to be like them. Dzie wasn’t a mixture of the two, he was human in that aspect. He caught it off of his father, the humans don’t have as long to live so things seem to be hurried for them. Elves on the other hand…like his mother when she was alive could take forever to decide what should be done. He remembered only a little of her but he knew that this was one of her traits, one of the things that caused fights between his parents. They were never serious fights, that he could remember anyway…
Ah how time can go by when you are in thought…only not enough time. Dzie was starting to slow in pace before Viskyia stopped. He was winded and was about to stop and start walking at the same time she did.
”Hmm? Oh this” he touched his scar that he hated so much. ”It was an acid burn, nothing was effected besides the side of my face”and my pride he thought silently. ”I’m fine to run, it’s just that this is sort of…well it’s my first day” he smiled. He was glad someone was upfront about his injury instead of beating around the bush. He wondered if she had known had he got it, or if she were new to the city since last winter. Then he wondered if anyone still remembered his part of the story...his insignificant part as far as the public knew.
