"Oh lord, it took.. Hm, lets see.. Shaft was five hundred, plus two-fifty or so for the druidic engravings.. Then three-hundred to buy the Adamantine from the Dwarves, Blacksmithing the blade was the most expensive part, being more than a grand and a half I believe. In total, about.. two thousand five hundred and fifty for the weapon?"
"Only been once, myself. Long time ago, that was. But it brought a certain peace that is almost impossible to find anywhere else, I've found." Danae is still wondering if such a place even exists. "She is an incredibly kind soul. Eternally patient - even with my bullshit. But let me tell you, once she get angry, wherever she is, is a place you do not want to be." Danae chuckles softly.
As Danae shares the fact that she's a fallen angel, shes not entirely sure what reaction she'll get. It can be many things - her previous spouses having reacted with extreme surprise, Ube reacting with a jarring amount of care and warmth. Now, when Javal accepts that and simply moves on with the conversation, Danae is caught off guard slightly. "Waitwaitwait, really? Thats it? I mean, I'm glad you're not making a big deal out of it but, I was kind of expecting some kind of surprise there. You really just accepted that as truth immediately, huh?"
"And I'm not an angel. That title got stripped from me, just like my wings and weapon. There is nothing 'epic' about me. As for my future? It's filled with grief, rage and a hell of a lot more blood, and I'd rather not look to that." Despite the intensity of Danae's words, she speaks in a tone of forced neutrality. Talking about this has never been easy for her, and the last time she opened up, she and Ube killed a gang of goblins for her to calm down. Noting the jarring lack of goblins here, it might not be the best choice to get upset.
Now, Danae hasn't really thought about favorite foods. Not in a long time, at least, so Danae has to think about it for a moment. As she does, her mind drifts to her late wife, Danielle. "..Danielle made a damn good goulash. That, I reckon." Danae says softly. Her hand goes up to just under her collarbone and rests there for a moment, her hand on the covered necklace of rings hidden underneath her shirt.
Truthfully, it was never about the food with Danae. Whenever dinner came around, it was always a good few moments to spend with Danielle and simply talk about little nothings. Even if the food was eaten in silence, it was time well spent in Danae's book. Her memory rests with the time spent, and never the food. Although her words are still very true - she made a damn good goulash.
Danae looks almost sorrowful as Danielle is mentioned and the few moments following it before shaking her head, dropping her hand and looking to Javal with a warm smile. "What about you? And no, there isn't any particular cuisine up there - or well, technically speaking, the upper planes aren't really upper. More adjacent. Same with the hells."

Javal’s eyes widen and his jaw drops; he takes a second to think about how much money Danae had spent on this.
“Two-two thousand five hundred and fifty dollars”, he stutters out, “That’s so expensive no wonder this blade looks so powerful. I mean you went through every avenue to strengthen your sword. I don't believe I’d be able to do that on my salary”, he chuckles nervously stuck stunned that he was able to hold something that powerful and expensive for even a moment.
Javal nods along as Danae tells her experience with Uriel, Javal initially finds that hard to believe after all the Uriel he knows looks so calm and like she wouldn’t hurt a fly however the more and more Danae talks about her the more Javal begins to understand of course his celestial patron wouldn’t show her fury in front of her chosen.
“From now on I must behave twice as good as before so Lady Uriel shall be proud of me and not show me her fury”, Javal exclaimed excitedly.
Javal pauses as Danae questions his lack of a reaction, “Oh my apologies I thought this may be a sore subject for you because of how you talked about it”.
He then holds his hands behind his head in nervousness, “I’m sorry to hear about what happened to you but I’m sure your future’s bright look past all of the grief, rage, and hell what’s there? Life? Anything?”, Javal ponders to Danae.
“Who’s Danielle if you don’t mind me asking, whoever they are I’m sure their goulash is awesome and they’d like to see you happy?”.
Javal looks lost in thought as he ponders out loud, “All food in this world is great, however, if I can pick anything I’d choose either my mom’s food or anything with potatoes".

"Took me ages to make that money. Lotta work, lotta shitty jobs but I got there in the end." She says, proud of her achievement. Truthfully the Halberd is her most prized possession for obvious reasons. She takes the weapon back and slings it back over her shoulder, a sense of calm coming from the weight dragging her down.
"Don't get me started on trying to find the damn druids. Secretive bunch, the ones I found were. But they were willing to help and I feel like they could've easily asked for more for the work they did, but I'm not complaining."
Danae chuckles as Javal swears to be twice as good to Uriel. "Hey, look: just don't be an asshole and you'll be fine." Her past experiences with Uriel were some of the better moments in her divine era. She was always kind and careful, and a hell of a lot of fun to be around when you properly got to know her. It's mildly upsetting that the likelihood of Javal ever seeing that side of her is slim to none.
As the subject turns to her ex-divinity, a look of tiredness overcomes her features. Not physical tiredness, but more mental than anything. As if she's done with the idea of being a fallen angel. "Yeah, it is a bit of a sore spot, and I appreciate you not freaking out about it. It's just that the people I did tell kind of.. panicked? I mean, I guess it's fair; you get told that the person you're speaking to did something so bad that they got booted from the heavens, it's normal to freak out a bit."
"Past the grief and pain is.. eternity. In one form or another. I don't age, Javal, meaning that I have all the time in the world to get shit done, and I only get the ability to die - or so I hope - when I can achieve redemption. Until then, I'm stuck trying not to die through combat n' shit. Cause if I do, I have reason to believe I'll be stuck in eternal limbo." Danae shrugs, almost waving off the wildly concerning conclusion to that statement. "It is what it is. One step at a time."
As Javal asks about Danielle, a small smile forms on Danae's face as memories begin to flood back to her. "Danielle is.. Was my wife. She passed away fifty years ago - fifty one in a few months." Her smile falters for a moment before coming back stronger. "She was brilliant. Clever, beautiful, blunt to a fault. Miss her everyday."

“What type of jobs did you work to get the money to afford the beautiful halberd”, Javal asks curious as to what he’d need to do to make his weapons stronger.
“Druids are truly always so secretive. I once accompanied a whole caravan of them on an expedition for this area that allowed them to commune with the spirits. I even met my ancestor there, at least I think I did”.
Javal then exclaims, “I swear not to be an asshole twice fold”.
Javal then gets a bit nervous asking his next questions, “Have you ever met Salina? What are the other archangels like? Is there an order of control for angels, are there thrones, principalities, or the such?”.
Javal then said nervously, “Feel free not to answer if that makes you uncomfortable and brings back bad memories”.
Javal then tries to lighten the mood with a smile, “It’s alright I don’t know the reason for it, and even if I did I don’t care to be honest. You seem like a nice person and you’re my friend so I’m sure you are awesome. I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. It seems like she was a wonderful woman”.

"A lotta' adventuring jobs. You know the type: Clear out bandits, goblin-slash-kobold camps terrorizing merchants. The type that people don't like to think about. Sometimes we got a good job to be true heroes but those were once in a blue moon. A lot of saving, a lot of shit jobs and patience you only get from eons of life." Danae recounts easily. She worked real hard to make the money, but she did and now she will not touch any average adventuring job with a fifty-foot pole. She's happy with her cultist culling and the occasional Dial Fractum group whenever she's in Eclipse City.
"Druids are a very interesting bunch. Getting their power from nature has always been something so.. foreign to me for obvious reasons. I got my power initially from divinity, and now it's primarily from.. Hm, I'm not actually sure. I use light domain but I got kicked out from that particular area.. Guess they can't ban somebody from using a domain. Silver linings." She chuckles lightly before returning to the subject. "But yeah, communing with spirits is one of their primary expertise. Wild stuff, that."
"Salina? Uhh, maybe? I'm not particularly good with names. As for the other archangels? Pompous pricks, I say. I'm a bit biased but I really don't like them. Never really did even up there. Just so.. full of themselves. Ironically, the majority of them had a god complex." Danae shrugs. "I wasn't an exception to that. I just got the greatest humbling of my life."
"As for an order.. Not really. Archangel is more status than title as there isn't really any hierarchy. You were looked up to, sure, but an Archangel and normal Angel weren't much different from one another. It's hard to describe to somebody who hasn't really seen it for themselves."
"Archangels take on some sort of role. I was a sort of peacekeeper in a sense. Making sure those passing had passed on safely, and ensuring the celestials don't fuck around. I.. think I enjoyed it? Frankly it was so long ago that I'm not sure anymore."
"Oh and wild thin- Nope, might get smited for saying that. Nevermind! Ignore me!" She laughs as she moves on from whatever she was about to say, seemingly steadfast in not saying it.
For most of this conversation, Danae has been looking elsewhere, only really occasionally looking at Javal with a slight turn of her head. Despite this, she seems to be quite invested in the conversation, despite her seemingly disconnected body language. However, When Javal starts talking about her and especially Danielle, Danae turns properly to Javal, a small smile on her face.
"Thats.. Really kind of you to say. Thank you. Danielle was.. Truly one of a kind. I think she would've liked to meet you." Danae takes a hold of something just under her collar and pulls it over her head and off her neck. What reveals itself is a necklace of three rings - two engagement rings and a wedding band. Danae seperates the band from the other rings and holds it, drawing attention to it specifically. Truthfully, it's not all that special of a band, but engraved on the exterior are the words 'My Angel' written in a somewhat messy handwriting. It looks purposeful, as if whoever engraved it simply copied the handwriting exactly onto the ring.
Danae simply looks at the ring for a moment before showing it to Javal, her smile turning brighter with each passing moment. "She has a similar one - just her one has 'Devil' instead of Angel like this one. Not for any nefarious reason, but because she was always the devil on my shoulder, you know? I'm fairly sure most of my recklessness comes from her." Danae laughs, and it feels more genuine somehow. The other times she's laughed have been genuine but compared to this, they feel almost empty.
After a few moments, Danae takes the necklace back, puts it on and tucks it back under her collar. "..Yeah, I reckon she would've loved to meet you."

“Doing adventuring jobs are always very fun to do in my experience you never know what you are going to get with them from either helping cats down trees and walking grandmothers across the street to saving people from dragons and fighting villains”.
Javal then glances over Danae’s strange armor he swears it was looking severely damaged when Danae first came in and now looked almost completely brand new.
He gets puzzled at this and can’t help but ask Danae about it, “Hey Danae if you don’t mind me asking is your amor also enchanted and really expensive like your halberd? Is it magical? I saw it seemingly regenerate itself during the course of our conversation”.
Javal the continues nodding and listening intently to Danae’s answering of his questions, she seemed extremely wise and it was nice to hear about how the people up above them lived like.
Javal smiles as Danielle shows him the ring and says, “Thank you for showing me this I really appreciate your trust in me it means a lot”.
“How did she pass away if you don’t mind me asking? If that is uncomfortable for you please forget I said anything”.

"I never did the little shit like taking cats down from trees n' whatnot. Somebody else can deal with that, I was somebody who hit shit and hurt shit." Danae says easily. Her clothing being brought up with it's self-repair properties was something she wasn't really expecting. To be honest, she usually forgets that it can do that and it's always a pleasant surprise when she finds out again.
"Only my clothing repairs itself, sadly. But yes, it was also a bit pricy, but only in the couple hundred solars range instead of a couple thousand. Still not easy to pay, but my god it's saved me so much on buying new clothes." Truthfully, it has saved her probably thousands at this point. It draws on ambient mana around her with inscriptions that are sewn into the lining of the clothing. Frankly ingenious.
As Danae returns the ring to her collar, her smile never falls. It's not often she gets to talk about her wife, and frankly it was really nice to talk about her. "She passed from old age. Married for.. damn near eighty years, and buried on one of the smaller islands of the Crescent Isles."
"And don't apologize for asking questions. Curiosity is fine, and I'm happy to answer. If theres an issue, I'll tell you, yeah?" There is a multitude of things she doesn't want to talk about. Mainly regarding the after effects of Danielles death. She has long closed off, avoiding attachment like the plague. She's been fine with people considering her a friend, but since Danielle's death, she's stopped allowing herself to consider others her friend. Outside of Ube, she has shut herself off from the rest of the world.
A part of her wants to consider Javal a friend, but the larger part is afraid. Not of the connection itself, but of the loss that will eventually come. Either from death or from the friendship breaking apart, it's bound to vanish and fall through her fingers like everything else does.

“I like doing all types of adventuring to be honest helping anybody with anything ithey need is my company’s goal from helping the big issues to the smal onesl”, Javal said with an honest look in his eye.
Javal’s eyes go wide as Danae explains her clothing, “What no way it repairs itself!!”, he’s completely astonished, “I can only imagine how much effort it took I mean hundreds of solars isn’t a low number at all. Were did you get it if you don’t mind me asking?”
At this point after speaking with Danae Javal beginning heavily considering saving his money to be able to afford such great equipment like Danae.
“I’m sorry to hear about that it’s never a good sight to see your loved ones pass”, Javal says with a solemn look of knowing what is like having experienced great tragedies in his life. He then remembered the faces of people’s he had lost for a second feeling great pain in his heart.
“So what’s your goal Danae? Anything you’re working towards or want to reach that you’re working towards? Most people I talk to have a dream, whats yours?".

"And that's noble. I've never really bothered with that sort of stuff, as I said." Danae has always avoided the noble work. Either because in the beginning she thought she was too good for that work, or because it generally doesn't pay enough to be worth it. She's a very money oriented person.
"I got it from a specialty tailor in Sol City years ago. Frankly I'll be surprised if he's not dead yet but if he's still around, you'd find him there." Javal's surprise and astonishment is amusing to see. Even with magic as widespread as it is, sometimes there are forms of magic that surprise even Danae such as the clothing she's wearing.
As the conversation turns solemn, Danae's smile takes on a warmth that helps to counteract the sadness in the air. "Never is, and I'll never get used to it. But it's a constant with life.. Mostly. People die, and you learn ways to cope." What those ways are, Danae doesn't know. "It is what it is."
As Javal asks what her goal is, she has an answer immediately in mind, but is extremely hesitant to speak of it. He already knows of her previous divine life, so it shouldn't be an issue, right? ..Right?
"There is a difference between a goal and a dream. My dream is to live, love and die. My goal is Redemption. I hope that upon achieving my goal, I can live out my dream properly. Although the gods are awfully quiet about what happens after I.. Clear my skin." Details seem to be difficult for Danae to explain. Not due to an inability to word it right, but simply because she doesn't particularly like sharing this part of herself. It's always felt intrusive and almost personal when it comes to the tattoos.
"I can only really hope and see in a couple hundred years, I s'pose. What about you? Other than building up your company, what are your own goals?"

“Thanks, I shall seek him out and his work once I’m able to collect the solar resources to do it. I’ve had to replace my sandals about 20 times before I got these made from a druid woman selling them in Frost Gale”.
He points at his rooted boots that currently look like sandals with leaf and nature designs on them.
“That’s true although I find myself distracting myself to move on as fast as I can. That has led me to make a couple of mistakes although so far it’s worked for me. Always moving, never sitting still to think too much since if I do I remember, and remembering is not the greatest honestly”, Javal says with a somber tone.
Javal then switches his somber expression into an excited one as he listens to Danae tell him her dream, he loved hearing people telling him their dreams. It showed him what people are like.
He asks Danae, “When do you think you’ll be redeemed?”.
Javal answers Danaes's question, “I want to be the strongest there is, and besides the other goals I’ve told you I have a couple of personal goals, find my missing father, discover what happened to my crew, figure out why my grandfather’s being so shady, unite my sworn brothers together once more, and also find out what that weird spirit thing during the expedition meant”.

Looking down at Javal's footwear, it does indeed look very druid-y. "Hm. Checks out." She says, giving a nod. "The tailor does make his own clothes, and I'm not sure if he does additions. This is all assuming he's still alive and not buried six feet under."
Distraction from her problems has always been Danae's way to cope. Either that or lashing out very violently. However, Danae takes pride in her patience that she's learned over the years. That does mean that when Danae does lash out, it's far more explosive. She's doing her best to try to remedy that violent reaction, however. And despite not following her own words, she does have something to say on the topic.
"Remembering isn't always nice. I don't like remembering Danielle passing in my arms. I don't like remembering the hours it took to bury her because I kept breaking down as I dug. But the road to recovery comes with acceptance with what has happened. And in order to accept, you need to remember. It stings, it hurts and it's extremely uncomfortable, but so is.. working out, or any exercise. Your muscles burn and you feel unsteady after, but you improve, and you can push yourself further next time, even if it's only a little bit." Danae looks to Javal, a warm smile on her face. "I can guarantee you're stronger than I am, man. Best not leave your issues unsorted otherwise it'll fester like an unclean wound."
On the topic of her redemption, Danae shifts slightly in her seat. "If I don't kick it.. I'll live to see cities rise and fall, family lines go generations upon generations in the future. My redemption is linked to my life. I don't achieve redemption, I don't age, and I don't pass away naturally. It took me four-hundred and fifty years to clear what skin you see today. My face, hands and neck. 450 years, Javal, for just this. I still have my entire torso, arms and legs to go."
"I won't achieve redemption for hundreds upon hundreds of years from now. Thats a fact I've grown to accept." In truth, it's barely an acceptance and more a fact she hopes is incorrect. People always talk about how immortality is more a curse than blessing, and she can attest to that. She's seen friends, people she considered family and lovers pass in front of her eyes with nothing she can do about it. As good as Danae is at hiding it, she is suffering each and every day.
She is thankful for the subject change to Javal as she listens to his goals and nods thoughtfully. "Being the strongest is one hell of a goal." Danae pauses for a moment, thinking on his other personal goals. It seems like there is a lot on his plate, but she's also getting an idea.
"Day is still young. What say you to a spar? I'm curious as to how you fight." That, and she also needs to practice against faster opponents. A recent fight up in the Ashlands showed that she's lagging behind when it comes to faster foes.

Javal’s face immediately brightens up at Danae’s mention of a spar he excitedly responds, “Yes please Yes, I am totally in agreement. I’ve been curious about how you wield your halberd in battle since the moment I saw it. You speak about it further made me want to fight you and see its power for myself”.
“I hesitated to ask you since our conversation was reaching personal and intense topics but rest assured I've been brimming with excitement to fight you”.
Javal pulls out his katana from his waist and says, “I and Theseus will give you all we got”.
As Javal finishes speaking the barkeep grunts, “If yer gonna fight take it outside don’t want any damage to this establishment or you're both banned for life”.
Javal nods and responds, “Yes sir, Danae, let's get out here and find a good battlefield for our spar”.
Javal almost breaks down the door on his way out in a rush to find a battlefield.
He glances around the area until he finds a small section of the town that was boarded up and abandoned.
Javal walks over to the other side of a fountain that was in the middle of the two adventurers he began stretching and asked, “So Danae, any rules or regulations you’d like to set?”.

Javal's excitement is almost contagious as Danae chuckles, finishes off her drink and goes to stand up. The barkeep warning them both is wildly amusing to her.
"Of course, of course. Wouldn't dare harm your establishment." She waves off his warnings and follows Javal, removing her armor as she walks. She has faith that Javal won't gut her like a fish. As she walks, she's thinking on how Javal acts and how it can translate to a fight. He seems eager, very easily motivated and perhaps even easy to sway. If she's correct, that would make him susceptible to feints and general trickery. Fast combatant, but she'll have to see properly once they begin fighting.
As Javal begins stretching and asking Danae questions, she thinks for a moment as she tinkers with the head of the halberd. "Lets see.. Try not to actually kill one another, for one. Fight until surrender or first blood, you reckon? Simple fact is that we'll be getting cut. I can heal, but still."
"Lets say no offensive magics. Other than that, I have nothing more unless you'd like to add something." Danae stands up and plants the halberd into the ground next to her. Even compared against her 6'5 frame, the halberd is taller than her by about a head and a half - a truly massive weapon. Danae takes the weapon in both hands and readies herself, standing in a readied position, the halberd resting low, but wound up.
For this particular round, and perhaps the following ones, she doesn't want to be on the offensive. Depending on how quickly she can figure Javal out, she might be able to push her own offensive quickly. For now, she's dancing to Javal's tune.
Danae's weapon glints in the desert sun, an iridescent green hue coming from the Adamantine steel, a look of focus and perhaps even a hint of moderated excitement from Danae herself. Her stance alone proves her claims of using this weapon for a long, long time.
She looks ready, and a particular coming from Danae that almost promises that this will be difficult for Javal tickles the back of minds to whoever is close enough to watch the show, and who is involved in the fight itself.

Once Javal finishes doing his sttretching he notices Danae took off her armor for the spar he chuckles and does the same taking off his armor leaving only his casual look.
He responds to Danae’s guidelines and says, “Sounds good I don’t think I can survive being killed to be honest so that works for me. Let’s give it everything we’ve got. I have a single spell that I can use thanks to Uriel to heal us from massive wounds if needed. No offensive magic is fine, better even using offensive magic feels like cheating, to be honest”.
Javal takes out his blade Theseus from its sheath and places the sheath next to his armor for safekeeping. He waves his katana around practicing his form before smiling and saying, “Alright Danae here I come”.
Javal sprints towards Danae and opens his mouth sending a large cone of ice breath (1) at her feet he was hoping would provide him enough of a distraction for his next move.
He then swings his sword aiming straight at Danae’s shoulder hoping to deal some damage to get this battle started.

Seeing Javal take off his own armor is amusing to Danae. Frankly, she took hers off to allow for a little more maneuverability, but now it seems they're both on even turf. Javal's warning was also amusing to Danae. "Mhm." She hums out, curious as to how he'll engage.
As Javal charges forward and fires off his ice breath, a small tsk slips from her lips. Cheeky little shit, She thinks to herself before quickly backing up to avoid the breath. She wasn't entirely successful as ice has gathered around her feet, but only enough to hinder movement, not completely immobilize her. It was a fairly good distraction, as Javal swings at her shoulder, Danae's only choice is to avoid the swing.
Danae ducks away from the blade, spinning in place to get some momentum behind her. Instead of swinging her halberd, however (Mainly cause that would threaten to remove Javals' legs from his torso), she instead swings out a leg, aiming for Javal's kidney. Hitting the kidney is no fun, even for her. For fighters, it would hurt like a motherfucker but not debilitate. Everyone else, though? Chances are they'd be on the ground for a while.
Following through with the kick, Danae pushes forward and aims a jab with the blunt end of her polearm to his stomach. She knows that both of them have access to healing magic, but still. The sharpness of her blade is always a concern in spars like this.
Despite what she said about remaining on the defensive, She's more than happy to take opportunities when they present themselves to her.
