Of course you fail. That is why you don't perceive Khaavren as a bully. I believe that marking someone on both cheeks with your sword, whose trying to actually help YOU could be considered to be somewhat unfair. Perhaps one could say that such action is highly impetous as well as foolhardy. However when one fails, as you so obviously have, on a repeated basis to perceive what is in front of one's face....... Well, I could hardly be suprised that once again you mistakenly perceive or to put it more succinctly mis-perceive. Be that as it may I am just a humble Easterner and beg your forgiveness of my inadverdant correction of the aforementioned misperception. Forever at your service in this matter I remain, Cstraw, Count re'VibeZ
