Your duty is to defend your home, then. One I can relate to, even if I have never served the military.

[liuli]

You said you had a Cohort, didn't you? [ good memory! he's as sharp as a tack. gu yun leads his horse easily past the rows of tents, towards ostensibly where the edge of the simulation room is. ] What's that?

[bonetiddies]

I didn't have a Cohort. The Cohort is the greatest division of the military. It serves the Emperor, not I.

[liuli]

Oh, I see. No royal titles to know about? [ that comes with a wink, teasing. ] What are you defending with, then? Or whom, I suppose.

[bonetiddies]

I'm the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House, daughter of the Reverend Mother and Father who guard the Tomb. As I believe you're aware.

[Jerk.]

It is my duty to protect my House. From threats external and from decay.

[liuli]

[ wehehe he just grins like a little shit!! just teasing, just teasing ~ ]

Decay? [ that's a new one. ]

[bonetiddies]

You know old families. Their lines die out, their power wanes. Their traditions vanish.

[liuli]

So, keeping yours alive? That makes sense.

[ bloodlines... ]

[bonetiddies]

Indeed. And ensuring the rest of my House survives as well, not only my family.

[liuli]

Protecting your home, and something important to you. I get it.

[ he really does. gu yun gives his horse a nudge, turning it back around to walk slow and easy down the line of tents. ]

Are there are a lot of Houses? How big's yours?

[bonetiddies]

There are nine, but the first house is the seat of the Emperor, and no one resides there but a few of his most devoted priests. So eight houses populated and ruled over by necromancer families. Mine is the smallest of the eight.

I'm sorry. Did you say necromancers?
