Gaheris Rhade

Our people were meant to be living gods, warrior-poets who roamed the stars bringing civilization, not cowards and bullies who prey on the weak and kill each other for sport. I never imagined they'd prove themselves so inferior. I didn't betray our people – they betrayed themselves.

[Today is a very special sort of day. Because Rhade also had a cursed object, only he didn't realize that it was one of his leather jackets. His plan to go to the CES is somewhat hindered by a sudden inability to think up a lie.

He's on his way there, anyway, not realizing yet that how exactly the flood has caused this. He knows that he needs to check up on Ben, because whatever was happening there was really.... strange. Just strange. Basically somehow candy has made Ben act slightly creepier than usual.]

OOC: So, for the first time ever on spontaneous whim I'm doing a truth thing with Rhade. He won't ramble on the network but if he runs into someone he will.

[The abbreviated version of his kidnapping makes her laugh, squeeze his arm.]

I hope she didn't turn you off to all insane girls.

[Because well. Selina's marbles may or may not be all together. See: how she turns them to the deck and drops the bear off the side.]

It's a high bar to reach. [He holds his hand over his head and motions.

And honestly, chucking the bear over the side seems very sane to him. He just sticks out his lower lip and gestures as if to say "that made sense to me."]

I can tell you deserve better than here. You're strong, you're maternal- [always a good quality to a Nietzschean], you're intelligent.

[That catches her off guard, and she looks up at him, then grins and circles around so they're face to face, standing near the railing.]

You might be the first person who's ever called me maternal. Does it count if my instincts seem to be geared for kittens?

Domestic cats evolved to imitate children. I think it certainly counts. [He gives her a teasing smile.]

Did they? [It's a perverse, wonderful bit of trivia that sets her laughing.] We're such wicked little things.

I wonder why anyone picks dogs instead.

Gaheris Rhade: rhade - contemporary smile

It's an excellent survival skill. I can't blame them for it. [He also suspects that's why Sherry gets away with mauling his hand.]

Some people just like the obvious over having to figure things out. [His own grin is sly.]

Lucky for you, I know better than to trust a man who can't appreciate a good puzzle.

[Which is why, despite some lingering 'check the water no wait the water is bad', she's settled on allowing herself to be curious.]

I still feel like you know more about me than I do about you.

Gaheris Rhade: rhade - sneaky smug smile

[And his mouth quirks just slightly.] I'm from a matriarchal genetically engineered human subspecies. My people all have- [he holds up his arm and gestures to the boneblades] these. I used to have twelve children, but I can't return to my family so now I'm the father of one. And I was a chief tactical officer aboard a starship.

Selina Kyle: ♕ who's the man behind the bat?

silvestris on June 25th, 2013 05:14 am (UTC)

[She pauses, hand on his hip to stop him, too, so she can get a better look at the boneblades.] Is this the only thing that makes you different from humans?

[She's not sure she's altogether human anymore, and after being here it's easier to accept.]

Gaheris Rhade: rhade - bitch and complain

truth_is_cold on June 26th, 2013 12:36 pm (UTC)

I'm immune to many poisons, I'm several times stronger than a normal human, and my senses are enhanced.

[He raises an eyebrow primly.] Though I usually don't tell people that my hearing is better than they should expect.

Ooh. Now that's an interesting tidbit. What have you heard lately?
