*His head tips steadily, his dark eyes studying the floor carefully, each vein of change, each particle which lines its smoothe surface, caught within the center of his gaze, inescapable, even by choice. He grips at the leather strap which bounds his wrist impatiently, twirling the loose ends between his thumb and forth finger, the perspiration which rises from his clad skin beginning to dampen the material.* I meant no suspection to arise in my choice of entry. I had overheard about the meeting that was to be held here-- in the Ta'Vaari Hall. I guess I must have arrived late. All that I heard from that point on was one simple word that has remained in my mind until now-- "Revenge". When I was very young, mutany was common among my people. *He pauses quickly.* My mother and father were killed in this situation, simply because they had not recieved information of it. I've got to admit, I'm not one to be called "knowledgable". My intelligence level has never once measured up. So when I heard of the word revenge, and the few mumbled words before it, I-- Well, I guess I apologize for thinking the way I did. But that is in the past. I understand of your motives, now. And I assure you, that if you trust me, I will fight to my death for Tanari. *For a moment, he raises his eyes to glance about the gathering, the eyes which look with such belittlement upon him, the barrells of the guns which stare him in the face. And in moments, his gaze returns to its submissive station as he continues his piece.* As for my loyalties-- I have always been patriotic about my country. Every day of my life, for as long as I can remember, I have desired to do so. And this is my chance. For once, I have the chance to amount to something. Something I've never been. I cannot change my feelings. And neither can you, though I am in your hands. You can lock me up, you can kill me. But either way, you cannot put to rest this desire.
