Then it's all the more shameful that I lost. I do fight for a living.

[ in a manner of speaking. well, to be technical, his continued existence is dependent on him fighting. or at least, it was back before he was brought here. now he's not entirely sure what keeps him alive, but he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. not yet, anyway.

that said, he doesn't really seem too upset over his loss. ]

This is probably a strange place to ask it, but what do you do that taught you to fight like that?

[unweave]

You don't say. Should have figured, you had a good fighter's stance.

[ What's done is done. Aranea will get her ass royally handed to her by Ardyn in a few hours, so even the best fighters lose. ]

I did mercenary work. Fought daemons, hunted fiends, solved peoples problems. Use to lead an airborne unit for the Empire, but — that went to shit really fast.

And you?

[ a decent question. "magical creature summoned to fight for others" probably looks weird on a job resume, so... ]

Something similar. I traveled the world, fighting where it was needed. Less for money than for... [ ideals? ] ...something more foolish.

I suppose in the end, the reasons don't matter as much as what you do anyway.

[ That's the first thing she latches to — when it comes to being foolish. ]

[ heh. ]

No, I think that would have been more admirable.

[unweave]

You're right. Whatever it was probably was some broody back history you were clinging to.

[ There's a passive shrug. ]

[fakers]

Though I don't like admitting it, I have no shortage of that.

[ like, way too much. ]

[unweave]

Heh. I'll need to get you drunk one day and weasel that out then.

[ BECAUSE IT SEEMS FUN. ]
