 Robert found his body relaxing a bit as a wave of lethargy crossed his body, the adrenaline fading. \\
 //"Hmph...yea opening up old wounds, to fulfil some personal desire for closure...that is pretty selfish."// \\
-He looks her over properly, without the lens of fear. //"I see you did bring something to share at least, Food and Drink....well i cannot be a rude host. Common inside we ca talk more over wine."//

+Robert stood back. Realising a small issue, Looking up at Ravi's face she seemed very embarrassed but also accepting. She was indeed over 8ft tall and such a large woman would have difficulty with most doorways. \\
+//"Do not worry...my place has high ceilings, just be carful upon entry..."// Robert said holding back the awkwardness of the situation. \\
+Inside, the air was warm, a fire place bathed the house in comforting heat. the smell of spices, bread and wine whispered in the room, following those smells would surly lead you to the kitchen. High ceilings, cobblestone walls, light wooden floor and high quality furniture. You would be surprised to learn there was a cemetery outside such a refined cosy home. \\
+Ravi managed, relying on her flexibility and the sturdiness of the house to squeeze her way inside. Luckily, nothing broken, only embarrassment. The floors creaked and Robert let out a sigh of relief that nothing ad fallen over.
+Small Knick knacks were displayed on many shelves, Wooden and metal sculptures, Story books as well as Research Books. Empty bottles of wine, shoes, tools and a few portraits of people. Some were a magical capture, photorealistic and seemed to move ever so slightly with blinking and breath, while others were traditionally painted. You would notice some of the smaller older pictures had one of the people's faces roughly cut out as if done in a rush or anger. \\
+Ravi didn't recognize anyone in the pictures, aside from Robert. She assumed the one cut out was his brother, the one he was chasing all those years ago, the one he killed.
+Ravi dare not move too much, despite the rather spacious home the last thing she wanted was to cause issues. Scanning the room looking for a space of floor to sit. Robert noticed her 'Umming' and 'ahhing', knowing what she was looking for. He started to move some of the chairs aside tipping Ravi to do the same. Opening up a big enough spot Ravi sat down cross legged seeming quite proud that now she was less of a danger to the house. \\
+Even sitting the Crimson haired woman was taller than Robert. he couldn't help but scratch his head in bewilderment, until eventually. //"How in the hells did you end up like this?"// Robert blurted out. //"You were only chest highest last time I saw you, I know for a fact people tend to stop growing after they reach adult hood....but you,, didn't seem to get that memo!?"// \\
+Robert's emotions running high, the down of the adrenaline now letting him take in the situation a bit better, the ridiculousness and oddity of the evening. \\
+Ravi was caught off guard by the sudden outburst. staring wide eyed at Robert blinking, Unsure if he was about to attack or tell her off. \\
+//"uhhh...i mean, its a bit of a story but i can give you the cliff notes?...if you really want to know?"// Ravi spoke, unsure of her words, unsure if Robert was being genuine about his question. \\
+//"YES!....please...Ah Gods. Its just alot, ALOT to handle. Here you show up after decades, I didn't even know you were alive, Some days i question if those events in Exilis even took place, But my axe...its all the proof i need."// Robert took the bottle of wine Ravi had brought and popped the cork effortlessly, as if he had done in 100 times before, taking a swig straight from the bottle. \\
+//"After all these years, after what we...what i endured....i had expected those that i had been with to be dead or in a sorry state like i am...You killed Zonotar....Venium we lost...Lekgolo vanished into the mist..."// Robert took another swing before turning to face Ravi, a bit more bite in his voice. \\
+//"Then you show up, Even brighter than usual....and monstrously proportioned..."// He took a quick instinctive glance at Ravi's body, her curves, hips, chest before adverting his gaze again."// Its ridiculous isn't it?....at least i think it is. Me becoming an old, drunk grave keeper while you became some monstrous bimbo beast!"// \\
+Ravi raised her hand to debate his simi-harsh words, but paused, he wasn't wrong...maybe he could have been a bit nicer saying it though. She paused for a while, the crackly of the fire place filling the silence between them. \\
+//" I'm sorry Ravi, that was uncalled for"// Robert spoke without looking, taking another swing of wine \\
+//" no no no"// Ravi cut back. //"You are right, i, i mean we have changed....and i got....an end of the deal. i wouldn't say its 'good' but it certainly is fun."// \\
+There was another long pause before Ravi broke the silence again. \\
+//"Robert...i am more than happy to tell you what's been going on in my life. if you tell me whats been going on with you...I brough a few more bottles of wine so we can recall long into the night....if your willing to share a drink with a bimbo like me?"// Ravi let loose a soft smile. \\
+Robert chuckled, turning to Ravi. //"Hey, some of my best friends are mistresses of the night...But i would be happy to share a drink with an old comrade"//
+----
+The two did just that. \\
+Ravi told robert of her adventured through the //Promised Archapeligo//, the treasure store she opened i covania, how she got roped into a Lich cult and paid wit herself to try and rescue people she once considered friends. She told him of the months working for the lich and what a nerd he was. \\
+Of her escape and of her new job in Uthasil. she then became more personally telling Robert about her family. the less than loyal choices she has made and te children that have come of it, and er children's children, Officially a grand-parent.
+Robert spoke of his story in a different tone. His time right after Exilis, searching for the others, loosing hope and his faith. taking the position of Grave keeper. and seeing the faces of those coming and going. \\
+ut this changed when he mentioned something unexpected. \\
+//"You see her? the young girl in my pictures. her name is Talia the 2nd, my daughter"//
