Just don't flood me with people, you guys. Anyone is free to come in, but I can only keep up with so many people at once.
Talbot sighed. Finally, some peace and quite. He had been busy all day, both sides of him. Niobe had visited earlier, so violent Talbot had had a job for the day while passive Talbot fought to regain control. Now he was guilt-stricken and exhausted, not to mention unable to look himself in the mirror. Not now, at least.
The Destrie Kuhna padded along the path rimming the temple's outer gardens. Here was calm. Here was what he needed after a day like today. He contemplated staying for a while, a week maybe, to stay away from the prying eyes of others and hopefully out of reach of Niobe. Though there was nothing he loved more than that female, he was beginning to think that he couldn't regret his own existence just for her. Maybe next time, he would try to say no. Maybe...
The Kuhna's gaze drifted over the trees and back up to the temple building itself. This was a beautiful place, really. He was surprised he had never come here before. Indeed, the complex seemed rather deserted, save the monks who lived and worked in the temple. He wondered if there was anyone else around. Even though he would have hated the company, he mused, he would like a warning before someone just sprang on him.
