[noprophecies]

Mmm, he is exactly that.

There is a saying about the length of a leash, yes? Those I travel with and I keep him on a very short one.

[outstandingbalance]

Understandably. [Is this really conversation for mass transit? Probably not, but here they are.] So why'd he get brought back from the dead at all?

[noprophecies]

[her expression turns to annoyed, almost painfully so]

To keep an annoyingly long story short . . . someone was tricked into bringing him back because his blood is necessary to break a spell.

[outstandingbalance]

Sounds more than a little complicated. And that's what you're all doing together? Off to break a spell?

[noprophecies]

No, we're trying to stop someone else from breaking it.

It sounds like some ridiculous story from a book, but . . . [a shrug]

[outstandingbalance]

It really does.

[A very particular kind of book.]

But I can't say I'm any position to judge.

[noprophecies]

[she raises both eyebrows]

Am I allowed to pry?

[outstandingbalance]

You're allowed to ask, if you want.

[Which isn't the same as agreeing to answer.]

[noprophecies]

All right. Why are you not in the position to judge? Have you a ridiculous adventure story as well?

[outstandingbalance]

Something like that. Things I would have considered ridiculous a few years ago, at least.

[noprophecies]

Do you have demons trying to unseal the door between two worlds too?

[delivered in a dry tone, of course]

[outstandingbalance]

If we do, I really hope it's someone else's problem. We did have a robot army bent on human genocide, though. And before that an alien army invading through a portal in the sky, opened by a quote-unquote "god."

[So there's that.]

[noprophecies]

. . . goodness. You have an army problem, it seems.

[everything she's learned about robots and aliens is always bad stuff what the heck]

[outstandingbalance]

When you put it that way... I wouldn't say you're wrong.

[noprophecies]

Mmm. [a small hum of amusement] It seems we both have our adventuring stories.

[outstandingbalance]

If adventure is what you want to call it.

[noprophecies]

It is one word for it? I do not know what else they could be called.

[outstandingbalance]

It is. Just seems like the kind of thing that sounds more glamorous than it is.

[noprophecies]

Quite true. There is nothing glamorous about it.

[outstandingbalance]

No, not glamorous at all. A lot more aches and pains/

[noprophecies]

Now that is an understatement.

[outstandingbalance]

Been there, done that?

[noprophecies]

Mmm. I was a mercenary; aches and pains and scars come with the job, sadly.

[outstandingbalance]

Ah, that explains it. You're a fighter now, or...?

[noprophecies]

At times. I usually prefer using my magic, though - I am a mage.
