"Surely I have passion, m'lady. As do you, I love the living of life itself, the adventure embodied in each moment, the next breath, the knowing that perhaps it will be your last. My passion for life is constrainted, however, by my bond to this chest. Although, for the nonce, I seem to have performed enough of its work to be somewhat free from it for a time. But yes, life is my true love, and the life of others as well, for a life alone is hardly worth living. Passion for beauteous women like yourself, for the age old light of the stars, to the beatuy of nature. All of these are my passions. " Drax returns Saphire's smile, as his mood seems to lighten. "It is true, some do find it a difficult puzzle to explore themselves, although I have never found it so. It is fun, and interesting, as you said. It can also be equally as pleasant exploring someone else." Drax returns Saphires wink, and then smiles openly at her. -----Drax
