[name_f][/name_f](Another bonus scene)
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: hello my friend it’s been a while how goes your travels
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: well enough it’s difficult to find anyone worth the fight these days though
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: I see [name_f][/name_f], would you like to have a match after dinner?
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: of course you are one of the only people i this land i have found can match me in battle the rest were tricked and killed
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: laughs[name_f][/name_f] ah yes i remember when we first met that was some of the most fun i’ve had in a while i remember you threatened to kill me very impatient you are for someone of your lifespan
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: and you seem to enjoy life a bit too much
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: i am king what better life is there i do remember your issue with food though and the understandable grief that causes
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: yes indeed it’s hard to enjoy living when the only food available tastes so horrid
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: how very unfortunate for you perhaps this time i have found a food to serve you that will be satisfactory
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: I doubt it but that reminds me how do you like your gift?
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: ah yes the young man with the sword he is doing quite well i just sent him off to the inn i think he will be of use as a knight you always bring me such nice presents
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i’m glad he is satisfactory his disappearance will be a bit difficult to explain but with him gone they will be weaker
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: will you be able to stay the night?
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i should return to camp after we spar they will wonder where i’ve gone if im gone too long
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: you will have to come back again when you are done with them and enjoy yourself a little take a break i can host a party with music and dancing an-
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: despite the tediousness of my work it is necessary when i have completed my mission i will come stay longer and bring some food from my home land
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: yes of course let us drink to the demise of those who threw you out tonight
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i can’t be drinking too much you will not trick me i want to fight you at my best
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: you saw through me then laughs[name_f][/name_f] I would be drunk too would I not? Doesn’t that make it fair
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: you party too much i will stay for dinner and a sparring match no more
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: fine fine sighs[name_f][/name_f] lets go eat dinner
[name_f][/name_f]They go and eat dinner tonight dolium has had a suspicious looking meat prepared
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: what is this it looks rotten
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: i tried to recreate the cursed manner of the meat of your home land
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: I see …… it’s wrong but i’ll try it takes a bite
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: watching for his reaction[name_f][/name_f] so…
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: it’s still not good but it’s better than the other things i have had in this land
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: So what you are saying is you can eat it without feeling unwell?
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i suppose so thank you dolium
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: I’m glad. to see my friend well i’ll perfect it for next time
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: finishes his plate with less pain and disgust on his face than usual
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: tries a bite and then spits it out on a napkin under the table before ordering a servant to bring his usual
[name_f][/name_f]After eating they go back to the blood stained room they first fought in
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i figured someone as lavish and carefree as you would have a nicer sparing room then this
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: bringing back memories is it
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: the first time we fought i saw you as an enemy
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: and now we fight as friends
[name_f][/name_f]Duxs attacks first teleporting behind dolium and trying to roundhouse kick him in the head but dolium ducks they fight ferociously for another hour this time using more complex and dangerous methods but again the match ends in a draw[name_f][/name_f]Dux: you have grown much stronger i thought this time id best you
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: you forget we both have all the time in the world to train between work it’s been a meer 50 years since we first fought for us but much longer for mortal people and we have grown far stronger since then
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i’ll win next time i’m sure of it
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: shrugs[name_f][/name_f] maybe i doubt it
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i should get back to camp they will awake soon
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: of course should i walk you back
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: no i know the way and wouldn’t want them seeing you
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: how do you plan to explain your bruises
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i had forgotten about that i’m sure i can come up with a story though
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: i have something that might help you see for the last 4 years iv been tinkering around with healing magic
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: whatever would you need that for
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: makes the place seem more magical when i can heal wounds from bar fights with a drink
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: i thought it was a spell
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: yes but they don’t know that winks
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: I see… well can you use it on me?
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: pretends to think[name_f][/name_f] hmm
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: looking irritated
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: im joking of course i can grabs dux’s hands and focuses[name_f][/name_f] [this should be helpful to him he wont have as much to explain] whispers magic spell for healing and dux’s injuries slowly fade[name_f][/name_f] i do warn you it mostly works on the appearance and for temporary relief i usually use this to enchant them long enough to trap them and redo the spell each day tomorrow you will feel the bruises though they appear gone
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: pulls his hands free[name_f][/name_f] of course thank you Dolium this will help a lot
[name_f][/name_f]Dolium: gestures to the tunnel leading to the outside[name_f][/name_f] well be on your way clasps his hands together in front of him[name_f][/name_f] i wouldn’t want your visit to cause issues
[name_f][/name_f]Dux: nods[name_f][/name_f] i’ll see you in another 10 years or so leaves
