Khârn slowly walked to his seat trading sad smiles and greetings. [i]It's been a long day.[/i] he thought to himself as he sat in his seat among the younger members. Many of them looked at him in awe, and some in fear. Informally he was in charge of the younger weaker members, many of them went to him for sparing and to hear his stories of battle. "Khârn why did he take Turnit and Ghesh's chairs?" one of the newer people asked. With a soft smile he looks at the source of the voice. A young girl no more then 15 looked at him, she was one of the newer people who had joined. She and Turnit had been very close. In fact she had been a very common topic that he would always tease Turnit about since she would follow him around like a puppy. The relationship between was by no means romantic, as best as he could tell the two were like brother and sister, "You will learn pup..." he said softly as he looked down at his plate. There was no way he describe how or why they did things, only that we honor the dead in our own ways. "How did he die?" the girl said softly, barely loud enough for him to hear . Her voice quivered as she spoke with a look Khârn could tell him, she was barely holding it together. "He died well pup...weep not for his passing, smile for all that he has left you...for you are the inheritor of his dreams" he said softly as the girl looked at him tears welling in her eyes "How." she repeated "Like a man" he said as the memory of his death flashed in his mind "Like a man..." he repeated softly "Enough of this grim talk pup, Later tonight maybe but now is the time for celebration." he said with a smile as one of the other members ran up to him
	
	"Khârn you and Mez got your picture in the paper!!" the boy said wit ha smile "my friend runs messages for some of the other guilds and she told me two members of our guild got their picture taken! when she showed me the picture it had you and Mez!" he said excitedly not pausing once to draw breath. "Easy now brother...you say Mez and myself are in the paper?" he asked. The boy nodded his head "Yes they don't call you by name but you two kind of stand out enough that even people outside our guild would know its you...granted they would have to know you and see it but I...no not gonna rabble sorry a habit I.." Khârn cracked a smile and laughed "Don't worry just calm down...its not a big deal"  he said as the others chuckled "Look its just a picture, the article is not about us, but the fighting as a whole...we are but a small part of it." he said
