[ david doesn't reply, but he does show up about 20 minutes later. once you're used to the fog and know where you're trying to go, he's found it doesn't take very long to get between realms. though the ones that are in use are... easier. ]
[ he steps into the main foyer, walks through into the wide open space with the cold lights and the emptiness that seems so vast with no people and no signs of life, and drops his backpack on a bench. ]
[ The echo of David's voice is met with the echoing clank of Tarhos standing from where he'd been waiting, seated on the fountain. No full armor for this, but he is wearing full greaves. ]
[ david shrugs a shoulder as he walks over to where tarhos is stood. a little selfishly he's sure he's about to get his shit wrecked and he'd rather not have an audience for it, but moreover the idea of bringing anybody along just doesn't feel right. this is about him and his needs, nobody else needs to get involved in that. they'd probably just worry anyway. ]
[ he looks up at the other man — it's admittedly a little strange to put a face to the suit of armour that's been menacing them lately — and then past him, up to the balconies above them. ]
[ there's a brief flash of confusion across david's face, just because he has no idea what would be amusing about that question. it's not like they have to get involved... unless they only get to come out if there's people to stab? but that seems odd. ]
[ whatever. he shrugs. ]
Fair enough. [ he gestures broadly ] Anythin' you wanna say first. I know some people have rules and shit.
I am quite capable of "helping it," as you say. It would be a poor warrior who could not hold back his strength when the situation requires it.
[ Yeah, he could definitely choose to be less deadly in trials. He doesn't have to run people through entirely. But no, that'd be going easy on his adversaries, a thing Tarhos doesn't know how to do. This is an honorable fight, though. A duel between men. ]
Though you are correct. [ Faintly amused. ] Your actions within the divine trials do make it hard to believe those words.

Not sure how long it'll take me to get there, but it shouldn't take too much time.

You here?
[ wow that's an echo. ]
no subject
Indeed I am. You came alone.

Your friends about?

[ Is that... a hint of amusement in Tarhos' voice? Perish the thought. ]
This is no battle, merely a bit of sport.

I suppose we should set boundaries. [ A beat. ] I presume you would prefer not to lose limbs?
no subject
If you can help it, yeah. Prefer to keep my limbs attached.
[ what else? he's used to either "no rules" or "the rules of this establishment," so it's not something david's ever had to think about. ]
Nothin' I can't heal from without dying, I guess. I know it doesn't seem like it, but I try and keep that to a minimum.
