Ryker shrugged. It had been a long shot to think that she might like the idea straight off, but he had a sense about her ... no, not really a sense. If he was being honest, he just wanted her to join. He knew she would be an asset. She was intelligent, clever and clearly knew how to take care of herself. He could try at least. She didn't seem opposed to Excalibur, just cynical. "Dragons aren't as bad as we think they are, they're as bad as we make them. We can work together with them, bond with them. It sounds ridiculous and cheesy, but they are the best teammates a person could have. I bonded with a dragon and she is a part of me. Working together, we can build a better world. Without them, it's almost impossible to think we can beat the rest of the dragons."
He smiled at her next question. "I love Excalibur. It gave me purpose when I had none, family when I was all alone. It gave and gives me hope for the future." It wasn't really convincing, he knew that. Ryker never really had much of a way with words, but this was the best he could do. Maybe it would be enough, maybe not, but at least he'd been honest with her. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

"People are as bad as we make them too, really," Amelie agreed. Some people and dragons were just downright evil, though. She wasn't sure Ryluth would be a nice lady if she just 'imagined' her to be. That dragon was freaking crazy. At least, that's what she'd heard. "Not crazy, but slightly creepy. This whole... bonding thing. Sounds like a marriage, and that sort of commitment is not in my ball park," she chuckled, though she was being completely honest. She couldn't imagine being that committed to anything because nothing lasted. Nothing was constant.
She nodded as he said he loved Excalibur, and she could tell he really meant it. "Hope is nice, I hear," she said with a nod. He had been honest, she could tell that easily. Plus, he didn't seem the type to lie. "But tell me, why should I even consider looking into your special... group, or whatever? What would be in it for me?"

Ryker nodded, understanding and agreeing with some of what she said. "Bonding is a big commitment, but it's not for everyone. There are plenty of members of Excalibur that aren't bonded, so you don't need to think that it's a requirement. You'd just need to be aware that there are those who are bonded."
Then she asked her question and Ryker had to think about it. "You know, what's in it for you is really up to you. It depends on what you want and expect from Excalibur and from life. If you want to have purpose in your life, something to look forward to and hope for, Excalibur can give you that hope. If you want to find more people to become close as family, that would happen too. What you give is what you get," he explained with a shrug, not really sure if there was anything else to say. He wasn't going to convince her if she didn't want to be convinced. He wasn't a recruiter. He was just expressing his feelings for the group he loved. Did it matter that he thought she would do well in Excalibur? Not if she didn't think so ... and he knew that joining Excalibur wasn't likely something that anyone would choose on a whim, much less a skeptic. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

So, not everyone was bonded... great, that still didn't make much of a difference to her. Though, it was an interesting thought. The fact that she wouldn't have to do that if she didn't want to. not that she was actually thinking about joining this crazy group. Amelie never believed into that philosophy that you get out of life what you give or anything, but she could understand that kind of thinking. heck, she tried her hardest to have fun every day in order to live a happy and fulfilling life. She tilted her head to the side when he was finished, "what do you want from it, Ryker?" she asked. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker gave a small smile. He didn't think he was anywhere close to convincing this young woman that Excalibur was the right path for her, but for him? He knew it was. And he knew exactly why. "I want eventual peace and cooperation. I know it sounds strange, but I want to live in a world where dragons and humans don't need to fight for supremacy, but where they live in peace together. I want to work towards that. I want a land where I can have a family and not have to worry every day about whether or not they'll get eaten or taken as a slave for a dragon. I want to fight so that we can have peace." He stopped after a while. He could have gone on, but he really wasn't sure of what else he could say. He didn't want to repeat himself too much. She'd get bored. Not that he wasn't expecting that anyway. Still, he'd enjoyed this conversation with the young woman. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She nodded as he explained. It was a fools dream, really. She didn't believe that everyone could ever get along like that. Not while Ryluth was alive, at least. A lot of dragons and humans would need to die to overcome the darkness in all of them. She wasn't really willing to assist in a hopeless cause. "Well, that sounds nice. Good for you," she said with a soft smile. She tilted her head to the side, "you want to start a family, then? Find love and all that?" he asked. Love was another concept that was strange to her, but he seemed the type to believe in it. Maybe a little too much, from his words thus far. Ryker Tremaine

Ryker couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or serious. He didn't think she really believed in what he was telling her, but that didn't matter. Lots of people didn't believe in the ideas of Excalibur at first. It took a while for one to sort through them and let them sink into your heart. Many came back after a time and joined. Her next questions took him a bit by surprise. Ryker wasn't sure how exactly to explain his thoughts and desires for the future. Sure, they all centered around Leonora, but at the same time, he was fully aware that none of them would happen. He was going to die at the next major battle, so he really had no hopes of starting a family. He decided to answer as he would if he hadn't received that vision, if he hadn't seen his own death. "I guess so, yeah. I mean, I know nothing about families or children, but yes. I'd like to try for all that," he answered slowly. "Wouldn't you? I mean, if it were possible to destroy Ryluth and find peace, wouldn't you want to find love and start a family?"
