OOC: I'm liking this character development time!
Watching the others carefully and observing their mannerisms as she spars, Yui thinks that the band here is more than unusual.
The creeper of cleanliness, Three Eyes, the tinman, the scantily clad paragon, the sarlacc fisher's daughter, and me. Our motley band of misfits is almost cute.
Usually boisterous, Yui isn't one for talking about her past, but being Yui she sidles up to Tara.
"How are you so damn honorable and such a well-be-doer? It fascinates me, this world is harsh and cruel, but you manage to stay so damn righteous. How do you do it? I'd like to pick your brains a bit. " Yui smiles to show she doesn't have any ill intent, but she does take on an almost wolflike expression.
"Well, I grew up at a small monastery to the East of here, well off the beaten path so you shant have heard of it.." Tara begins.. "The monks traded with small nearby communities and together we had a sort of loose friendship. Nobody really wanted anyone 'ruling over them', so we were all free spirits of a sorts. Since the monks were trained in fighting, they helped the other villages when trouble arose in our area of the Steadfast. Book learning was never one of my strengths, I found the physical activities much more to my liking.. So I learned their fighting techniques growing up. Helping being a protector to those other small villages helped me understand my being in the universe.. my place."
Tara takes a moment to let that sink in and then says "As for my being a well-be-doer... One thing the monks used to always tell me was 'Be part of the solution, not the problem.' and I find that to be very true. I try to live my life by that moniker. I grew up with that ideal, protecting the small communities and being given assistance by them. By not being cruel but showing compassion, and sometimes just giving a little hope, I am a part of that solution. I've seen needless suffering inflicted upon others.. I find it unnerving."
Tara gets a little thoughtful and after a small pause, "A little girl in one of the villages once told me she thought little acts of kindness were alive and always wanting to reproduce.." Tara smiles a bit at that.. "Perhaps one day we'll see if she is right. Until then, it certainly won't harm me to be kind to others.. and if someone sees me as weak for that and tries to fight me or forcefully take advantage.. well, they'll be in for quite a surprise, won't they." Tara smirks.
"How about yourself Yui?"
BTW, Tara will be more than happy to lightly spar with you or anyone else who wants it.
