Hey, if that's the way it all works out dude, that's alright by me.

[ratiocinations]

Indeed. So, then, tell me about your travels. They must be dangerously trodden paths.

[For this man is so obviously a fighter.]

[inexorableiron]

[Big man does a big proud]

Aw man, that's a hell of a whole lot to cover. I've been halfway across the world at this fuckin' point! Fought some wicked gnarly monsters and dudes. Learned a lot along the way, too. You really want to cover a whole fucking decade plus in the doorway?

[ratiocinations]

Well, is that an invitation to sit?

[inexorableiron]

Sure, dude. I'm not the chair's boss.

[ratiocinations]

[Then he will stride over to the couch and sit! He does so with interest in his eyes as he looks at his new conversation partner.]

You may start with telling me what it is you do. Do you escort important persons or materials with you as you travel?

[inexorableiron]

[He will follow!! And plop right on down on the floor.]

Bodyguarding ya mean? Shit, I've done that. I've been doing that since I was fucking small, dude. Family legacy or some shit. I do tracking and bounties a lot these days too. It pays pretty good.

[ratiocinations]

[fellow irregular sitter 🤝]

So then you're a mercenary?

[inexorableiron]

Haha! I guess you could put it that way, dude. I like doin' anything with my hands I can. And my blade, but I haven't found that yet.

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.
