Lorenor smiled as she spoke.

It was just as he'd reckoned it would...almost like that time with Urei. Lorenor...of clan paladin huh? He thought to himself as he kept the smile on his face. It was true that he held no personal clan or family ties to any particular clan directly. Save for the IK. Though that was ancient history. Lorenor kept his own eyes locked on hers. As he spoke, he spoke with a soft but heavily accented voice. It was somewhat of a gruff, Radasanth city proper dialect. But it would sound like an educated variant of common-speak.

Lorenor thought back to the teachings of Sei Orlouge. His answer was a simple one. "Because it is the right thing to do." Yes, those Paladin were a truly a daft sort of folk. Clinging to old ways and old chivalries long forgotten in that age. Loewnoe tapped his chin for a moment or two. "My instructor taught me it is the right thing to do if you must have an answer." Lorenor said truthfully. To Lorneor, Sei was more than just a friend and ally...he'd been a teacher and Father. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the girl. "Insofar as war goes one must always be prepared for any eventuality. It's how you stay alive when the chips come falling down." Lorenor said with that same calm voice. There was no aggression in the heavily armed Paladin, he simply liked to be prepared always.

"I know a good eatery near here if you still would like to come with me." Lorenor said.
