stern look. Finally she sighed,
    “I think I need another drink.” This time Wollfen did speak up,
    “Stay with me for a minute, tell me what happened.”
    She let out a big breath and looked at him for a few moments, collecting her thoughts, was she even sure how it had started anymore? Then she slowly shook her head as she looked away,
    “Oh it was something stupid, he probably didn't even mean anything by it, all I know is it stung and I reacted.”
    Wollfen could see there was the start of tears in her eyes, what was going on?
    “What did he say?” She shook her head in reply,
    “I honestly don't remember, how stupid is that?” Wollfen grunted,
    “It's not stupid, so many arguments start like that, by the time you get into it with the other person you quickly forget what it was all about in the first place.”
    She nodded in agreement and tears started trickling down her face. Should he push her on what was upsetting her? How would she react? Well, there was one way to find out he supposed.
    “So what's upsetting you Keera? What is it that is so maddening? I can see it is eating at you.”
    Keera gave him a look, like a lost girl, a little frightened. She seemed so unsure of herself all of a sudden,
    “I just can't stand it when...” Then she stopped, he looked on waiting,
    “Go on, I will listen.”
    Then all of a sudden the anger rose in her again and her vulnerability was shut away.
    “Fuck you and fuck all men! I am tired of hearing you lot feigning interest and pretending to be concerned when all you want is to get into my pants!”
    Wollfen couldn't help but look on in surprise. Keera stood up and stalked out without another word, where she went he had no idea but he knew to leave well enough alone.
    About twenty minutes later Kane and Solynne entered the tavern smiling and chatting, they had been out for a walk. Kane spotted Wollfen sitting in the booth and they made their way over, sitting down opposite him.
    “How goes it my friend? Enjoying some pints of ale?” Wollfen shook his head. Solynne looked around,
    “Where's Keera?” Wollfen raised an eyebrow and she worked out real quick something was up. “Is she in trouble?” Finally Wollfen spoke up,
    “No she isn't in any trouble but she is upset, she walked off awhile ago and I haven't seen her since.”
    “What is she upset about? What happened?”
    “Oh she had a minor run in with some fellow over something he said to her, but I am sure that isn't what has caused her to go off the deep end. I have a feeling she is carrying some deeper issue, something is gnawing at her and it's affecting her greatly. What it is I have no idea. There was no hint on the trail.”
    “So what did she say? Anything at all?”
    “Yeah, she did tell me to get fucked, that all men were simply trying to get into her pants.”
    Solynne thought about that a bit, Kane also did too but he wasn't any help, he had no idea about these things. Solynne though was considering some possibilities.
    “Wolf? You know she became a mercenary at a very young age, she says for ten years right?” He nodded, “That would mean she would have started at about 13 years old. Don't you think that gives an idea of what's going on?”
    Wollfen thought about it a bit, she might be onto something there, what would drive a child of 13 out into the world? Abusive parents for sure, or maybe she was an orphan? Either way she would have been driven out into a world without love, without any nurturing other than what was given to her by men seeking their own sexual satisfaction. He was sure that was it thinking about it now, she would have been a young girl all alone fending for herself and she would have been taken advantage of.
    “You know she probably grew up learning to use her sexuality to get what she wants, well that and the use of her sword. With no parents to guide her or protect her I am also sure she would have been abused along the way too.” Solynne agreed and also added her own
