Aleth snickered when Rayl mentioned the words, rich and famous. That was the goal of many people that take up arms, thats what the trueful ones really told her. Sometimes she had wondered if it was best to throw away some of her morals for money, but that answer never made her happy. No matter what happens money is the least of her priorities.
"Rich and fame, that cannot replace the smiles you give people, you know." "If anything I would rather be helpful and loved, then rich." Aleth replied happily.

"That's what I believe now...but in all honesty, I have no clue who or what I am anymore..." he took a few makeshift bowls from a saddle bag (gee what other non weapon stuffs ares ins theres?!) as he poured the stew into each and every one of them, sliding them to each other, then realised he hadn't made enough for everyone, so naturally he decided to eat nothing,"But you know, no matter what happens, or the wrong thing syou do, I always think there will be someone in this world that will care about you, no matter how slightly..."

Night chuckled. "Hope so, Boss. Hope so." he said at Rayl's words. "And lemme' tell you something about who you are, sir knight. Who you are is just you. What are you willing to live for? To die for? And if you don't know that answer just yet, it'll come." He shrugged. "Wow..I suddenly feel old."

"Heh, I'm no one anymore. I've honestly lost everything...and everyone I cared about."The only thing that keeps me going is clinging to my duty as a knight...you know, I was once a baker, back in Laus, all the while hoping to become one of those 'knights in shining armor'...looking back, I realise now that there truely are no such things as heros, or villians...only men, woman and even children in some cases, fighting for what they believe in."
It was quiet for awhile, as Rayl stared out towards the outside of the cave, listening to the rain,"Well, we better get some sleep, I'll take the watch for the night...dont even try saying it." You couldn't tell, but Rayl was pretty exhausted (not to mention famished), but he still had his duty to attend to, and he was willing to work himself to the bone to help people out now...sad really, but what else could he do?

"If you think about it, good is evil and evil could be good." "Its always the person who does what they do decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong." Aleth replied sleepily. She began to feel herself drift off and it was late for her as well. She turned over to look up at the sky and think about what would happen next. Oh how she wished life was as easy as it was now. Then again life is nothing without hard work to her.

"Exactly...well, enough of talking about me. Why don't we talk about Aleth now, before she falls asleep!" he was sort of in a good mood now, though his stomach was indeed bothering him, as he sat near the foot of the cave, though still in the warmth of the fire. Well, since he'd be up the whole night (don't even think about it!), it was a goo thing he had collected extra wood to keep it going, and everyone else nice and warm as they all got to get some shut eye.
'So Aleth, what's your whole life story?"

"I've been born into the life of a mercenary." "As far as I know, I've been doing jobs since 4 or 5 years of age." "I never stayed still in one location and is always on the move, I seem to always lose friends." Aleth replied bluntly and glumly. The good times have often outweighed the bad, but only to an extent that she pushes away the pain of losing something dear.

Night sighed as he slid the bowl over to Rayl. "Finish it off." he demanded. "I ate earlier anyways." He lied. Stupid fool would get himself killed if he didn't eat anything. The mercenary laid back against the cave wall and yawned, content to listen to the two babble.

Jackie finished off her meal. "I know what you mean, Aleth, I've been on the road myself for awhile, let's be friends."

Rayl had completely ignored the offer of the bowl, and instead just kicked it on back, still facing the outside of the cave,"That sounds harsh Aleth...reminds me of my days on the ranch...I learned to ride there, in Caelia, before moving to Laus with my foolish dream...though all in all, I'm a better man now then I was then." he then laughed at Jackie's little comment,"Just come out straight and to the point eh? But I do believe each and every one of us has a bond with the other. Night's bond is money. Mine is honor, and the faith in the Olde Code. Jackie's is knowledge, but of what I don't know... and Aleth...well, I sadly I do not know..." he suddenly got up, and just wandered off into the rain, and out of view, though he was really still on the outside of the cave, just casually sitting down and enjoying the rain...nothing exciting ever happened out here in the wild...he liked that...maybe when this was all over, he'd live here...assuming he did live, that is...

Aleth began to think what her life was really like. She never thought what was really making her want to live. It could be she should just look for a reason to fuel herself, but all she ever wants to do is help people. Maybe she could work hard to help more and more, while protecting her friends.
"I'll try my best!" Aleth replied happily.

Jackie yelled out at Rayl through the rain, "You're wrong Rayl, your most important bond isn't with the code! It's with your friends!"

Night chuckled. "Money, huh..." he echoed alloud to himself. "Yeah..well..I guess that -is- part of it." He shrugged. Hey, that was life. You either made yourself a bit of income, or you died. That was life. Though his real bond, in his own eyes, would have to be his memories..or rather, his wanting to get them back. "Don't go getting lost, Boss!" he called as Rayl headed out.

Rayl just sat there...just watching the clouds and the rain...you know, this was the perfect time to look back at his previous events, and figure out where ELSE it went wrong,"Lets see..." he was now just mentally checking them off now:
Meeting Persephone...not a bad thing.
Meeting Alcibie... VERY bad thing!
Joining Crowley and Co. ...just a bad idea. period.
False holochaust in Bernese city... VERY VERY bad thing.
Unintentionally betraying everyone and being seen as a traitor... now that was just cruel...
Well, there ya have it...Probably the only thing good that happened from him becoming a knight WAS meeting that girl from Ilia. You could see a smile on his face, before standing up, as the rain had started to get worse, so he figured it was better for him to watch them from inside, as he stepped into said cave, hair, and clothes, though not visible to them, drenched, before sitting down,"...I'm a screw up, you know that? I truely am. But there is one thing I still can do with my time: good." he smirked before facing the outside again,"Now arn't you all going to get some sleep...?"

Aleth turned around in her sleep. She doesn't dream much nor ever want to dream. Most times it end up as nightmares and always make her grumpy in the morning. Then again waking her in the middle of her sleep is worse. She was never a good early bird nor any good at getting up...
