((In that case, how shall we deal with her scales? We could have Joral have set up the whole thing, and he gives some of the herb to the two combatants so they can beat her and put on a show for the crowds. So that everyone gets to witness her shame, which will be one of the big things to leads to her depression the day after.))
"Heh, don't worry m'lady. I don't have the slightest intentions to ever pursue you in such a way. Though, I hope you don't take that the wrong way. You're certainly worth pursuing, but I can sense your love for this man and I would never dream of trying to change that. So, let's just settle for dear friends." Kiral replied, laughing lightly. When he heard her offer to join them if she were to ever leave, he was actually kind of surprised. Still, he was happy to hear the invite.
"Heh, sure, I promise. If Riseus ever takes you away from here, wherever you two go, I will gladly join you." he added, tilting her chin up and giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Good luck.......Vesta....." he softly said, smiling as he began to walk away, holding her hand as long as he could, their fingers sliding against one another as he eventually was out of reach and dissapearing into the crowds. And of course, the guards wasted no time leading her back into the arena for a.....special fight.
