Training in a forest cave

(Remeber most surface elven kingdoms hold a intense hatred because of most drow following an evil goddess who tried to take over the elven patheon, and the drow who were just lumped in because they were her main followers were exiled underground. The daughter of that same goddess and the deity she tried to kill is the only one who has her worshipers try and mend the hatred between the races.)
He stops a moment and says I am Xerxan, but I doubt your village elders would approve of you seeing me after this storm ends due to the strained relations between the underground drow cities and the elven cities on the surface." He resumes his work out knowing it is for the best that he said those things to her now instead of having her find out that her village probbly rather see him killed than keep him around.

(Is the daughter involved in this story?)

The girl looked to Xerxan as he introduced himself and explained how being seen like this can pose danger to them both. She would reply, "My name's Arasinya. I know about that, but I am not like those you have heard of. I can speak for the people and they will understand."

(xerxan has no knowledge of Eilstraee only her mother which he refuses to acknowledge)." I rather not have you put in that position where you have to explain your actons with additional visits." He wonders how he can explain his his strange workout helps him prepare for the events in a League he joined that spans to other strange worlds. "You are welcome to stay here even though I can't offer you too many comforts Lady Arasinya." If she looks at the rocks he is using one seems to have be hit multiple times while other ones seem to be like weights for lifting. He doesn't know that you are also in that same league.

Arasinya seemed to chuckle to how Xerxan addressed her. "Lady Arasinya? I am do not in the least have any royal blood. I thank you though for it." She also glanced at the rocks that were recently scarred and added, "Methinks you were training in here earlier."

"It is a habbit from when I was still with my family as gladiator for my mothers amusement and my pain." He just turns and punches the other rock with his bare fist while it doesn't seem to hurt him too much where it would hurt a normal person. He stands there obiviously it is painful memory when it is where his family is concerned unlike your family life probbly.

Arasinya just watched Xerxan as he turns to punch the other rock with his bare fist. "I am sorry to hear that. You must have been quite strong back then." She rarely hears of a parent who enjoys seeing their own child be tortured, broken, and abused. She indeed felt sympathy for him.

" I had to get strong and quick as fast as I could otherwise everytime my Mother had to intervine she would deal out a worse beat down than I was already getting."" My sisters when ever I started to make them look bad which ended up alot they would use the law and beat me up when they knew they could get away with it.

Arasinya cringed in disgust over hearing this, it almost sounded like two girls that she knew earlier. They usually wanted things to go their way and if they dint, they give off harsh consequences on their own. "I guess you weren't allowed to leave your fights without your Mother's consent?"

"She would give a choice I kill my opponent or she used a extremely painly slow poison to paralize and kill them while I watched?" He said " I didn't have much choice because by the law I was not much ranked higher than a slave."

"I see," said Arasinya. "That would be one reason to be so upset and not truly have any meaningful family relationships." Feeling bored, she would try to go over to one of the rocks that Xerxan was using and aimed a punch directly at it. It made quite a crack in there.
