"I thought about joining the Guard for a while," Kale admitted. "My people try to use our strength to protect others...but...um. I don't want to have to follow someone's orders and only help who they tell me I can help."
Some of the hostile behaviour from Wyvern and Olympian locals toward various refugees had somewhat soured Kale's view on aligning herself in such a decisive way with one community or the other.
"None of the ones I fight in are to the death. The rules vary a little in each place, but it's always something like winning by knocking the other fighter unconscious, if one of the fighters gives up, if one of the fighters is thrown out of the ring, or if one of the fighters is down for ten seconds."
She paused for a moment. "There might be illegal fighting rings where the fights are to the death, but I don't think that's allowed in the legal ones. It's better if there's a chance for a rematch, isn't it? Kinder and more interesting, too."
