Jun. 10th, 2008 11:35 am"You live long enough, you’ll always make a few enemies," Connor had once been told. He remembered asking, in a clearly put-out voice, "Even if you never go anywhere or do anything besides just exist in your little town?"
His answer was a very solemn, "Connor, even though you’ve done nothing to earn them, you already have plenty of enemies."
Connor learned then about the injustice of racism. People who’d hate him simply for the color of his skin. He learned to deal with it, and it was this that had him bonding with Shar so quickly. Who but a drow would know even more so how it felt to be judged by appearance?
Enemies Connor had. But he’d much rather face them with Shar at his side than alone.
