[recrowns]

I don't - but I think that you could be an effective leader, like a general. It would be a reassuring strength to have, amidst all the chaos.

[what soo-won would give for his generals right about now!!]

Do you think you were a soldier? If you remember your skills, maybe we can try to figure it out.

[retellers]

Don't you have your own Leader?

[ they sound a little tired, but then there's a pause ]

... Soldier... [ hm. they shake their head ] Maybe. Don't feel like I follow orders all that well, though.

[recrowns]

I do! We get along, I think. Why?

[he doesn't see the relevance....]

Mercenary, perhaps? Bandit?

[retellers]

Shouldn't you be asking them for something like that?

[ SOO-WON. they put a hand to their head and sigh like they're getting a headache ]

... Maybe. Look, I don't think throwing out titles at random will get an answer.

[recrowns]

Something like...?

[he tilts his head]

Ah - I'm sorry. In truth, I was seeking to get to know you better, but I suppose it'd need to be more effective than that.

[retellers]

The whole "general" thing.

[ but that seems to give them pause for a second ]

Why?

[recrowns]

Oh... I personally don't need a general - but I feel like some stability might improve the morale of everyone here, so it'd be nice. You cut a good figure for it, I think.

[wolf's already got the staunch and good leader thing going on, maybe they can be inspiring! who knows!]

Hm... because I'm curious about you? [he smiles] I've wanted to get to know all of you, since I heard you lost your memories for us. I'm glad I finally get the chance to.

[retellers]

How?

[ there's a tone that says it is both a how and a why. what did they do to deserve being told they are a good figure for stability among the people and how do they make it stop. ]

There's not much to know, without memories. We've got our personalities and preferences, but most of those are obvious.

[recrowns]

There's something about you...

[he'd use the term je ne sais quo if he wasn't medieval fantasy korean]

I think that's plenty to know! I heard you like alcohol, so that's fun. Do you think that you need all the pieces of your life before this to make you worth knowing?

[retellers]

Doubt I liked it nearly as much before I got here. [ wolf, no one is asking for your snark. but they shrug ] Can't decide for you what makes someone worth knowing, but how can you learn about someone if they don't know themselves?

[recrowns]

I'd like to learn about what you think, and how you view the world. That hasn't been taken from you, right? We can chat over a bottle of wine or something similar if it might make it more palatable for you.

[he doesn't drink much but also he wants to know what wolf likes!!]

I'm not asking you to decide for me - I've already decided I want to know you. Whatever you'd like to share, I think it's worth it.

[retellers]

Think you missed the part where I don't like to share.

[ they sound a little amused, though, so they're not saying no outright. ]

So what about you? How much would you be willing to share?

[recrowns]

You get to pick what you share! I won't force you. You could tell me your favorite kind of cloud.

[he WILL ask a lot of questions though. the note of amusement is in his favor, he thinks]

Sure, I can share. How much do you know about me already? Do you eavesdrop on my conversations too?

[retellers]

... If you actually have a favorite type of cloud, I'm out.

[ preemptively. ]

Can only listen in on what members of our own team are talking about, so...

[ maybe? maybe not! who knows ]

[recrowns]

[sdfljsdf

maybe he does but now he's not going to say it - he's just laughing]

Alright - then how confidential are the matters that we talk about? And please don't trick me.

I won't sell your secrets if you won't sell mine, as a matter of honor.

[retellers]

I don't care for gossip. You guys come to me in private, there's probably a reason for it.

[ le shrug ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won nods]

Then that's fine with me. Is there something you want to know about me? I'll let you start, to be fair.

[and since he's been doing all the asking]

[retellers]

[ they decide to go tit for tat; ]

Do you care about winning?

[recrowns]

No.

[just

the simplest answer of all time]

Any ambition or goal I might have is one I want to accomplish by myself with my own ability - a wish would remove the point of it.

[retellers]

Hard work over the easy route, huh. Makes sense.

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of a smile at that]

Humans need to learn how to fend for themselves in order to make a foundation they can grow from, that's all.

[the power of the people over the gods]

There's something I've wanted to ask each of you but... do you regret giving up your memories for all of us?

[retellers]

Make your own destiny, huh.

[ there's something pensive there, but the question distracts them ]

Not really. They'll be back. And it was necessary.

[recrowns]

Do you believe in destiny?

[it's just endless questions i'm sorry wolf]

... mm. That's awfully kind of you.

[retellers]

No, it's not.

[ THAT SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANSWERING THE QUESTION? DON'T SAY WORDS LIKE THAT ]

Don't know. If there is such a thing... it'd mean none of your choices are your own. You don't get a say in how anything goes. Doesn't sound great to me.

[recrowns]

Do you dislike being called kind?

[please stop asking obvious questions just to be a shit]

Though... I agree with that. I think that prophecies and fate are difficult to swallow - to have everything preordained... It draws free will into question.

Life just seems more vibrant if it's malleable.
