I am taking it seriously, but today is a special day for you. Don't worry yourself

>>2478688
No it's fine. The news is good in a way, a reptilian race has been revealed to us, but will be brought into the fold the way we wouldn't want. I must relay the message, a moment please.

>>2478730
>Serex, the youngest sighs and stands up, his smaller frame bulked by his fine coat
"I'm going out to see Qorox, tell father that will you brother dear?"
>Tonox sighs but nods, and with that he leaves

>>2478755
Who's that, and why do all your names end with x
>He says the last part with a chuckle

>>2478863
>Tonox speaks
Qorox is a Jiyys, the Island Yss. He's a, a close friend of Serex. Reason for his love of Southern clothes and cultures.
>Eorex sniggers
"Among other things southern"
>Tonox sighs and looks to Rukaar
As for the prevalence of the letter X in all names, it's a homage to the greatest Yssravannar hero and first Ancestor God.

>>2478901
>Rukaar frowns
I can't say much, R is common among my kind as an honor to the Runakii.
>He looks to the snickering brother
What is he laughing about

>>2478945
>Tonox scratches his neck and looks at the door, hoping Taxla won't walk in
I'll tell if you swear on you ancestors not to bleed a word to my father or anyone else here.

>As a response of sorts to Karls...defection, Confederacy sends out its merchant fleet to looks for him in some or other ways

Tell me what exactly, what is so wrong with serex that it must be hidden?

>>2480763
His, preference, for a lover is not what would be considered decent by our people. Qorox's people are more open to the idea, hence why he found acceptance in Qorox.

>>2480777
What's his preference? Does he not like warriors, is he one of those that like craftsmen or fishers more. Bah, warriors are better lovers without a doubt. And don't get me started on those that prefer merchants

>>2480783
>Eorex laughs at this and Tonox scratches his chin
I'll put this in the most blunt and simplified way I can. Qorex is a male Yss, and Serex, another male Yss, is his lover.

>>2480791
Why would one have a male lover? You can't reproduce with another male. Well we Rumar can't.

>>2480797
I'm not sure about it either, you'd have to ask him I think for that, he's never given a straight answer on it before.

>>2480812
>Rukaar shrugs
Ah well, his secret is safe with me. Now may I ask how long you are all on trojan?

>>2480831
A week, perhaps longer. Pur first priority was to check on our father.
>Taxla enters the room
Sorry for taking my time, someone was using it before me.

>>2480840
Ah, he did take quite the blow during the battle. He is lucky Eyes and myself entered a rage of epic proportions, it was exhilarating. Hopefully this new war will be just as entertaining. I enjoy when I have to try, don't you agree?

>>2480845
It keeps me on my feet and active anyway, although that last injury wasn't very good for my health. Anyhow the message has been sent, I expect a reply shortly.

>>2480851
Where your scars with pride ranaos! What do you all have planned for this day?

>>2480861
One scar above all else I wear with pride, here.
>He taps the scar on his cheek
As for plans for the day, I intend to let my sons off to see Trojan, but from the looks of it one has already done that.

>>2480886
Indeed he has, it's a shame he couldn't have seen what it looked like before the attack. At least this sector has been repaired

>>2480901
You underestimate the boy I think. He may have a cold demeanour, but he's very optimistic, and can find happiness and beauty in even the most dingy and dismal places.

That would be your choice. I spend enough time on trojan, being king and all. Then on my homeworld of Ru, leading a empire and raising a family. But I will do my best to make time for Taxla, he's been good to me. And since hears and thel....enough of me, where would you like to go

>>2481243
My father does speak of you, a great warrior king so like Ororex. As for where to go, what parts of the city remain untouched by the recent conflict?

>>2481257
I would like to think I'm a good warrior, as for the most untouched, that's not a question for me. I dropped in the thick of things to save taxla and fang with eye's help. Hmm, the southern ports were almost untouched but that's a far journey. Most of the embassies and store districts were also repaired

>>2481260
Not surprises Eyes was in the middle of it all.

Well lead on, the journey to wherever is as much a adventure as anything else.

Oh I know, Eyes is quite the beast. Even I'd I think twice about fighting him. Before we start our little adventure I need to quickly check on my family. How do you feel about fire breathing rumar babies?

>>2481267
He has a soft side, believe it or not. Though I've only ever see his children, wife and when Serex tells stories bring it out. And of course, is your species able to do that naturally?

No we can't, fangs hammer gave her that power. She was going to die at birth, the heart saved her. Oh and don't upset my wife, she already is pregnant with my third child and she she easily angered.
