Wheeling Gull Isle the curse

Some time ago, months and months prior, Hua had asked this before, of his past. His discomfort had been obvious and she had thought best of it, deciding to learn of his past when they knew one another better. He would hope the knowledge would lead her to understand him more and not use it as a weapon against him, as many did. As even @Ying had once before... 

It was strict, hard, but I adapted to it well. I was never a stranger to fighting for my rights to survive before them and so fighting amongst the men was just another day for me. Viewing a woman as much more  inclined for power and leadership was something I felt was right all along. He paused, for after having watched the way his grandfather ruled whilst a pup, he knew the difference a woman could make at the helm. 

There were customs in which I could never agree with, however, and my smart mouth and defiance to it got the better of me from time to time. But I'd been treated far worse before. My blood family was not kind and they saved me from that life. He said with a sheepish smile and a shrug.
