Most days after taking a run or some training the large man enjoyed a nice nude dip in the sea to cool down. Today wasn't different but he hadn't noticed the small audience until he stood scooping handfuls of water over his head and while he heard her speak Kaalim was out far enough his naked lower half was hidden below the water, "I do miss," Kaalim replied with a kind smile for such a monstrous sized man, "This is the best time to avoid all the children and others, quiet time, but please just call me Kaalim..."

"Zarha of Nevermere, please share in the quiet," he sank to his bottom, even sitting Kaalim stuck out from out of the water with no problem, "I will admit it probably don't have the allure of your black sanded beaches of your home but I love it. We didn't have the luxury of such a view back in my former village of Bantu so my appreciation is tied together for it...how are you finding Coheed?"

"Wait until the Vers festival and games! If you want to dive deep into a growing and melding culture you will love the festival," Kaalim glorified with Zarha, "do you have festivals in your kingdom?"

Scooping more water over his head Kaalim listened to the little woman speak a smile full of white teeth flashed over his face softening his features, "We have a festival of love too, Gjødselfest, every season of fall. My own creation so our festival doesn't revolve around God or Goddesses but don't think a festival of love silly young warrior," he chuckled and spread his arms out indicating to the back drop that was Cohed...Gilead...., "Gjødselfest saved our people, the fire heads almost decimated our entire people their leader Hiram wiped half of my family from this plane in a single day. I've lost wives and children, brothers, sisters, and a Father. Others have lost it all...love and love making," he said it with a flare of wit, "saved us all. Our population, though young, can thrive once again....I myself having sixteen healthy children as a result." Kaalim spoke proudly of this.

"that is a funny concept to me you see, here the more wives one has represents more strength and power," for Kaalim it meant all of that but more, "My wives are strong, even the ones Hiram cheated to their early deaths, they all represent the strength of my character the ultimate goal of what I started many years ago. Women warriors, women leaders, and equal women."

Kaalim pondered the questions sitting silently in he water, "I have always just managed to split my time between them all, it's a way of life going back hundreds of generations so you learn and you are taught these things...when I'm not training with the others or my children I am home, when I am home I am the husband and my time is devoted to them..to my children...it just happens..."

"Jealous? Nay, well one in particular from time to time does but my wives are very open when you've lived a certain way for so long like we do jealousy is a trait of rich men," Kaalim explained, he didn't care to answer questions, "for example if my wives were to even see me here with you they care not," in fact all of his wives alive and dead had caught Kaalim with different unmarried women (and they weren't just talking; and he would not fuck a married woman that was dishonorable) and sometimes Ateppa brought women to bed to share with Kaalim.
