Rydel's Origin

Rydel's hands froze before they started cutting into a large chunk of meat taken from his storage ring. "Only if you talk too."

"Only if this stays between us."

They both nodded. Jack got up and joined Rydel in the kitchen as the two started prepping the different ingredients for what Jack assumed was a soup or stew.

"I guess I'll go first," Rydel chuckled glumly. 

His serious demeanor slowly melted to reveal a faint depression inside his eyes. "I've got a personal grudge with the Limneer army. This is my first time on Limneer soil but my blood's already boiling. I'm not usually like Maynard; rather than seek bloodshed and growth in battle, I would just search for a smarter way to solve my problems. But this is the one time that I want to cause bloodshed."

There was a silence between the two as Jack waited for Rydel to gather himself.
