Love comes in many forms on Kendesai.
The love for your closest family is a fairly obvious one. The kind of love a parent feels towards their children and the wonder they feel having gotten to meet them. The kind that a child feels towards the person who raised them with nothing but the utmost respect and care.
The love for your dearest friends is another. The kind of love one feels for people that they never expected to have so much in common with. The kind that someone feels towards people that opened up their entire world in one chance meeting.
The love for your truest partners is no stranger either. The kind of love one feels for people they want to share a life with. The kind that allows lovers to adore every detail of their spouse with the same reverence they had the first day they truly clicked with one another.
There is one more however, that the people treasure; A love for your most-respected rivals. The kind of love one feels for someone that helps them hone eachother's skills. The kind that motivates them to improve for the sake of themselves and those around them.
All four of these loves are treasured, and while they can be corrupted or misconstrued like many things, the key to their stability is mutual understanding and an earnest demeanor.
This write-up is admittedly an excuse to say it is indeed considered gay to lock blades and love doing it with specific people in this setting.
