[recrowns]

[there's

just a bit of an amused huff at that, though he doesn't seem bothered]

How distrusting... Are you an 'actions speak louder than words' type?

[given that soo-won literally finessed his way out of being condemned at trial he cannot blame wolf for this and seems to realize that much at least]

[retellers]

Stop trying to pigeonhole me into a type already.

[ they sound so exasperated?? ]

I'm calling it like I see it. You show people what you think you can. Am I wrong?

[recrowns]

[he looks thoughtful at that, as if he's trying to genuinely give an honest answer]

... I think so?

Is there more that I'm meant to show?

[retellers]

[ they shrug ]

How you present yourself to people, that's up to you.

[recrowns]

[he nods]

Hm... Well, I choose to present myself as someone who'd like to help, because that is a sincere desire I possess. I don't know if the whole truth is always necessary for that.

What about you? Are you honest in every moment that you take breath?

[retellers]

[ dismissive, immediately; ]

No one is. [ they shrug ] But if I've got a self to hide, I don't remember it.

[recrowns]

I suppose that does leave you with little room for anything but honesty...

[he hums thoughtfully]

If I may, how would you describe yourself? Who you are now, even without your memories.

[retellers]

Think I'm not really the self-reflecting kind. [ they shrug again but sigh and try. for at least. one answer ] No-nonsense, I guess?

[recrowns]

[he laughs and nods along with that - again, that sounds familiar]

I appreciate the effort.

[because wolf is trying!]

Is there anything that you find fun?

[retellers]

Probably, but none of it has been here so far. [ so it's hard to? gauge? ] I like training, but I doubt that's all there is to it.

[ at least they accept that much ]

[recrowns]

[A JOCK]

Training? Ah - do you know what fighting style you prefer? Swords? Spears?

I'd offer to spar - but perhaps in a week or two.

[if he like

lives that long]

[retellers]

With the rate you get injured, might get longer than that.

[ this is unfair since he only got injured now but. wolf doesn't care. either way: ]

Swords.

[recrowns]

Maybe the frequency will slow?

[three murder attempts in one day is a lot

but also - ]

Can you show me?

[don't just ask wolf to show off swordplay]

[retellers]

Sometime, I guess. My sword's in the castle now.

[ because some people don't have magic weapons or teleporting powers ]

[recrowns]

Next time! Bring it with you.

[sometimes you just live a life surrounded by jocks and you're okay with it]

So you can't just summon yourself and items as you please?

[retellers]

Can't hurt, I guess.

[ but they shake their head at the question ]

Swan and Goat are the only two who can do that.

[recrowns]

Oh, I see...

[at least wolf can't wonder why some barriers are teleport proof]

Did you get any fun powers to make up for it?

[retellers]

We all had some powers from the Realm, but I haven't used them much. I'm strong enough even without those.

[recrowns]

Ah, now I really want to see.

[displays of strength are so fun]

Can I get to know what the powers are anyway?

[retellers]

There's a lot of generic stuff you might know already, and I don't feel like talking about all of them. But we've all got an element.

[ wolf opens their palm and a little ball of fire pops up ]

[recrowns]

Oh!

[he still looks delighted]

But you don't care to use it for anything?

[retellers]

Could be useful in some fights, but there isn't exactly much we're fighting.

[recrowns]

That's true...

[to which he looks a little exhausted]

In truth, I don't really seek war or desire it - but I feel as though it would be far more straightforward than all this.

[retellers]

A fight's always easier to deal with. You've got one enemy, and once that's dealt with, it's over. But this isn't that easy.

[recrowns]

How many enemies do you anticipate that we have here?
