[treasureling]

That depends.

Do you want something for it?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Not unless you want me to want something for it.

[he leans forward a little, resting his chin in his palm.]

[treasureling]

Gifts are never just gifts.

[ He just doesn't believe it. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That's a very pessimistic outlook.

[treasureling]

I don't know you well enough to be optimistic yet.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Smart.

[because he is doing it for a reason, even if it's small. he also knows he's not a very good person--despite whatever intentions he has right now. he smiles, all the same, pleased with how this conversation is going.]

I'll get you whatever you like. You have free will, don't you? You can refuse whatever price I might ask.

[treasureling]

[ A pause - and he nods. He can accept that. ]

Then I'll take an ale, and you can take that risk.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he laughs. waves one of the waiters over to ask for their drinks--he orders something with a funny name, himself, some sweet drink. his expression is nothing short of playful.]

So, you don't like trusting strangers or being in people's debt. What do you like?

[treasureling]

Trusting friends. My daughters.

...Making doorknobs.

[ These are all true answers. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That's charming. [--said with a little bit of a laugh--] You're a craftsman?

[treasureling]

A smith. Blacksmith, whitesmith. Metalworker.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Lovely. I've met a few in my time, but never in a place like this...

[treasureling]

In a tavern? I can assure you, they show up in taverns a lot.

[ The banter actually has him a little light-hearted. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[aw, he laughs a little...]

No, I mean in one of these places where lots of people show up, from all over... I'm never sure what to call them. Nexuses, or something.

[treasureling]

Nexus sounds as good as anything.

I don't know. Maybe audiences don't find blacksmiths entertaining.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he nods, but...] Or you're here for another reason. What do you think?

[treasureling]

Why am I entertaining?

I don't know. My life is quiet.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Mm, well. Maybe that's what this fleet needs.

[their drinks show up, yay! he leans back in his chair, with his...]

There's certainly enough noise in others' daily lives to make up for any lack in yours.

[treasureling]

How is yours noisy?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I did just almost die, a few days ago...
