I lost this notif oh no

[ratiocinations]

Well, how would you “put it”? [“dude”]

rip to that notif only

[inexorableiron]

It's not really mercenary if you're like, a full time guard, right?

[ratiocinations]

Mm. And your traveling companion, that was... who were guarding at the time?

[inexorableiron]

Oh, easy. The king, dude.

[ratiocinations]

[Eyebrows flying UP]

The king? You must have quite the honorable record or reputation.

[inexorableiron]

Uh, both? I'm kind of a big deal, dude.

[ratiocinations]

I'm learning as much, yes. Does the king, however, not have all his horses and men? Surely you're not a lone bodyguard in His Majesty's employ?

[inexorableiron]

His mount, like, got eaten? That was all kinds of fucked up, dude, not gonna lie. And there's a bunch of us, I guess, but nobody else gets right up on the frontline fighting with him like I do.

[ratiocinations]

Again, proof of the efficacy of your brawn in particular. What terrible timing, then, to be pulled away from your king and brought here.

[inexorableiron]

Thanks, dude! And yeah, it fucking sucks. I'd like to get back there already.

[ratiocinations]

You and everyone else, sir.

Might I ask you more questions? Perhaps something of a personal nature?

[inexorableiron]

Sure, what's up?

[ratiocinations]

Why does your skin look the way it does? Is that normal in your plane?

[inexorableiron]

I'm an oread, dude.

[He says it simply, like this is incredibly obvious]

Yeah, other dudes don't recognize that word either. It's cool. Uh so basically like, my mom's family descended from earth djinn.

[ratiocinations]

[Yeah, that meant absolutely nothing to him, so he is glad for the clarification.]

Djinn...? [Oh, another fantastical concept he is going to have to slot into his brain as A Real Thing now.] And does your ability to be such a good, ah, bodyguard in part due to your lineage?

[inexorableiron]

Djinn, dude! Like, uh... aw shit. I've never had to explain that shit before. I guess, like... Well some languages use "genie," right? But that's the air dudes, they're the ones you're probably fuckin' thinking of, they're a different kind. Mom's family is jabali djinn.

And sure it helps! But mostly because she made sure we were trainin' on blades before we could even fuckin' talk.

[ratiocinations]

[Genie, djinn. He knows of both, of course, but not of the true differences; indeed, he is starting to believe he should have focused more on mythologies sometime during his career to better prepare for this day.]

Learning to defend yourself must have been the utmost priority.

[inexorableiron]

It's a cutthroat world, dude. Comes in real handy.

[ratiocinations]

Is it? I don't presume to know anything about your world.

[inexorableiron]

[he shrugs, then gestures around]

I mean, this fuckin' place is too so far.

[ratiocinations]

Oh, yes, but this is different from growing up in a world where young ones must learn how to wield a blade from early on.

[inexorableiron]

I guess, dude, but shit, I don't know any other kinda world. That's just fuckin' normal in a place with fuckin' asshole demons crawling out of the ground and like, you know, dragons and werebats and shit.

[ratiocinations]

Well, then tell me about yours! It sounds like something out of a book! What is it called?

[inexorableiron]

If that sounds like a fuckin' book to you, your world must be like a crazy weird ass fantasyland, dude.

It's Golarion. And I'm not even a sure like, what the fuck counts as booklike here. We got all kinds of things in all kinds of places.

[ratiocinations]

[laughs] Oh, no, my world is quite the opposite of that, from what I can gather. No dragons, no were-anythings. No magic.
