Gomeshi looked more puzzled, asking, "You prefer wine over the fight and want to enjoy a girl without blood?"
"I love to keep the fight in the battle where you can bathe in the blood of your enemies," Karim answered to Gomeshi. "Then I like to keep wine and pleasures women can offer outside battle. Naturally, if you like, sometimes you can combine these two."
"Battle?" Gomeshi asked.
"A lot of people fighting for a good reason," Karim answered. "Sometimes it can be messy, and I know your people love that."
Now Gomeshi was in silence. He had been isolated long in that place, and like Karim guessed, he had not seen his people. It most like he doesn't even remember other Gomeshi.
"You have seen others like me?" Gomeshi asked and made Karim nearly to dance. Now he was sure he could get beast on his side.
"Many," Karim said shortly and waited for Gomeshis reaction. When he noticed him smiling, he continued. "They are the best and bravest fighters who I know, but they also know how to enjoy the joys that women can bring. Without blood outside the battlefield."
Gomeshis fancied dressing their human slaves in pony costumes, although they called their girls calf girls. Gomeshis really knew how to have fun.
"If I can taste the enemies' blood, I can learn to enjoy the joys that women bring." Gomeshi sounded unsure, but he was thinking hard.
"Now it is time for wine!" Karim laughed.
