It was Kaladin's turn to chuckle and for once it actually was a genuine one. "You really hadn't been in Northhaven for very long had you?" Between the Bloodfiend rebellion, the stone cat destroying the wall, the strange goddesses of that land doing w/e they pleased well....there had been plenty of fighting to be had in Northhaven. She would have seen some of it but if she had been a newer arrival then it didn't surprise Kaladin that she new little of the actual struggle the settlers had faced when trying to cut out that small strip of land and make it their own.

Her comment about sex made him chew on his tongue thoughtfully. He agreed with her to an extent. Having sex with someone didn't mean that you had to be in love with them, he hadn't been in love with the barmaid after all. Still, it was a different kind of act when you did it with someone who you cared about. "You may feel differently if you ever manage to find someone to tame that wild streak in you."

As her delicate finger drifted across his back he felt a smaller involuntary shiver run down his spine. He cursed the urges he felt thumping in the pit of his stomach. "Fine, PLEASE make yourself useful and go fetch us something for me to cook. Or do you intend to tease on an empty stomach?" he asked giving her a flat stare.
