[OOC INFORMATION POST]
C
He doesn't look quite like the other elves he's seen, but he carries himself like a warrior, and Belth is as intimidated as he is curious.
He tucks his book beneath his arm and peeks around the hedge. He could be stealthy except... for the really long ears poking out, god damn it.]
no subject
And then he sees the pair of ear and exhales. ]
If you are attempting to hide from me, you are not doing a good job of it.
no subject
In the end, though, his curiosity wins. He slinks out from behind the hedge. He's... pretty small, all things considered, and his posture doesn't help.]
You look almost like someone from my homeworld, but not quite. I was trying to decide if you were an elf or half.
no subject
I'm an elf. Half elves do not have the ears. [Or even...anything elven. At all. Gentics!!! ]
I doubt we are from the same world, however. [He can't move his ears like a freaking cat. Seriously, how do you do that?!! ]
no subject
It is not uncommon for blood elves to have tattoos, but you are the first non-blood elf I've met to have--
-- where are your shoes?
no subject
No one, elf or otherwise, has tattoos like mine.
[He looks down at his feet. ] I do not wear them.
[Excellent answer. ]
no subject
Possession? That is not a thing that generally happens outside of... ghost stories.
[He doesn't like ghost stories much. His arms tighten around the book he's carrying, a subtle indication of such.]
Ah, I thought perhaps you were too poor to afford shoes. [He's been there.] That seems dangerous in battle, however.
[Man he is curious about the tats, though.]
Do they help you channel magic, as blood elf tattoos do?
no subject
[Fenris rolls his eyes, but doesn't respond. He IS too poor for just about anything, it's only since being in the Fleet, where he's actually got a decent amount of coin to his name. ]
Not...exactly. They are made of lyrium, it is a magical substance in my world. But I am not a mage.
no subject
[He's seriously just... imagining a bunch of ghosts mind controlling people into doing stupid things. This child tho.
He glances at Fenris' tattoos again, then looks back to his face.]
That's-- oh, that is not-- [His face scrunches up some. Tattooing a magical material directly into one's skin is usually very painful.] That must have hurt a great deal.
no subject
[That's all gone now, thanks to Fucking Anders. He honestly fears the world that's facing him, when he is inevitably sent home.
His face turns into a grimace, at the memory such a conversation brings, at the exceptional understatement.]
It was absolute agony.
no subject
I can almost understand that... There is a council of mages in my city and they are nearly all corrupt nobility. Our people were tainted by the magic they tampered with-- something I didn't find out until after it happened, of course, because the magisters love their secrets.
Still, magic can do so many great things. It can save lives and turn the tide of a battle. I think the key is to keep those governing magic separate from matters of state. It is harder to overlook things that way.
[From the mouths of babes.
He frowns deeply, though, and very nearly reaches out. Then he stops himself. That's... not something he does. He doesn't reach out to people. He doesn't have healing hands, he has no idea what to do, and if someone hurt then, they probably hurt now.
He wishes he could heal.]
I am sorry you were treated so cruelly. The pain is something only a mage should endure, and only after being told quite plainly of the risks. Usually people with tattoos like that are...
[He probably should shut up.]
... It isn't good.
no subject
I was a slave, I had little choice in the matter.
[Not entirely true, but close enough. ]
If I was told of the risks, I do not remember them. Regardless, I have used what was forced upon me to destroy those who did it to me, and those like them.
no subject
Still, elf slaves are not really a thing in Azeroth. In some parts, they might be kidnapped, but it's not some kind of lucrative trade.]
A-- a slave!? Who would dare-- and you are an elf! When the humans were still a bunch of warring tribes, the elves were building palaces across the continent!
[OOOOOOOOH that makes him mad.]
I am glad you delivered retribution. But-- what a terrible world. And I thought that ruined Earth was terrible.
no subject
It is said elves lived like that, once. Humans quickly took over and tore us down. Slaverly is common for elves, in Tevinter, and in the rest of Thedas, they either live in slums or wander the wilds in Dalish clans. Being an elf in Thedas means you often have less than nothing, and are expected to be content with that.
[He can understand, why Solas wants so badly to change things. He still doesn't believe it's possible, though. Elves have their lot, and that is that.
Belth's next comment makes him look up sharply. Because that sounds familiar, too.]
...Do you mean Exsilium?
no subject
[He scowls, though it soon fades into a look of mild surprise.]
... Yes, actually. I thought Kaneis was the only one who remembered. I was there for a few months.
no subject
No, I remember being there. Nine months, right up until the war ended and they offered us a way out.
no subject
[As if he's not a sixteen year old elf who does stupid things on a regular basis.]
I left in the summer... I think. I don't remember anything about the war ending. I do remember a plague that killed a lot of civilians. And then I woke up here.
[A sigh, and he shakes his head.]
I am glad the war is over, but being kidnapped again is the opposite of what I wanted.
no subject
The United Earth's AI was destroyed, and that meant their bases could be struck down. When the war was done, the Initiative offered us all a chance to go home, remain and rebuild, or travel elsewhere.
no subject
That list is strangely devoid of spaceships.
no subject
no subject
[He shivers. He doesn't like not knowing things.]
... My name is Belthazar Spellscry.
[Well if that's not an indication of being a mage I don't know what is.]
no subject
[He doesn't know if the Initiative or Atroma are to blame, but he knows it's one of them.]
Fenris.
...That is an unusual name. [The 'SPELL' part tipped him off. ]
no subject
[He huffs a bit to himself, then looks at Fenris.]
It's a pleasure to meet you. [Even if you are too poor for shoes, strange man.]
Ah... that's only the Common translation, but it's easier to pronounce for most people. One of my ancestors supposedly rose to fame by spying tirelessly on the enemy and delivering the information to the ranger-general. There may be some truth to it since magic runs in my family.
Do you not have deed names where you are from?
no subject
It's probably that second one, though.
His eyes narrow at the magic talk. Of COURSE he's another mage, why wouldn't he be? ]
Atroma does enjoy mages, it seems. Do you have control over your magic?
[Just...getting right to the point, there, not even going to answer that question. ]
no subject
Of course I do! [He's somewhat offended at the accusation.] I was conjuring fireballs while my peers were still learning to read, and I hold a position that normally belongs to those twice my age-- something I could not have attained without a degree of skill.
So, yes, I can control my magic.
