[I've got a front porch that's as wide as my home. It's got a pair of deck chairs, a rocking chair, a small table with two chairs, a glider, and a full sized three burner grill on it right now. If I took some of that out, it could hold a lot of tables for a sale... I have a back little deck and a patio around it. It's not a big house, but it's just me and my girlfriend in here with the pets ^^]
Unfortunately, in some ways, Aurus was correct. Charles had fairly shut himself off from that part of himself, not in the most conscious of manners, either and really, pulling him out of it would be the most beneficial for him in the long run, but it wasn't even a problem he had completely acknowledged. It was almost like a wound that hadn't healed, and his mind was attmeping to protect him from his own thoughts. He hadn't even thought about the idea of sylvari and sex, in the physical manner of it at least, because his mind had stopped going down those routes. Ironic for a man who had no issue in his youth reading over the minds of women to get laid. Those attempted 'protections' didn't always work, but in small ways, unconscious ways, they did.
Charles fingered steepled again, his intense gaze focused as he tried to put into his understand what Aurus was attempting to tell him. "I may be wrong, but I beleive I understand what you're attempting to say they are. You have their... essence traveling within you. Not the being who had once lived, like a ghost, but the living essence of what they once had been." As if a movie of a person could come to life and converse. If Charles had not heard those voices within, felt their completely alien presence, he might have dismissed this entire notion as the mind of a lunatic with voices in his head.
"I have no desire to interact or speak with Mallyx," Charles said firmly, shaking his head slightly. "I will do neither as much as I am capable of. However, why would there lie an issue with this guardsman?"
