Unfortunate indeed! I believe of their own volition is the key, here, my friend. Is it not?

[He seems concerned about it, at least. Such a long time...]

I won't bother you too much further with such memories, but I do hope things here aren't so bad.

[Felix turns back, smiling in a lazy manner that still manages to be charming]

Not as such. Atroma seems to have a slightly different goal and mode of operation. At least it gives us more chances to get to know one another.

[The smile widens, and he gestures in Oren's direction with his glass]

But what about you? What did you do before this?

[twocomplex]

[At that, Oren can't help it.]

I was a Prince.

[He steps back just enough to give a grand bow, hand flipping to curve before him.]

Nocta Oren, the royal prince of Renacht and the Outer Cities, Lord of the Holy March and all sands conquered, Ambassador to the Nomadic Tribes of the Sentik Desert, son of High Priestess Binali of the Grishalt line, and brother to the future queen of Renacht, Nocta Ensa.

[He stands, slowly, letting that sink in for just a moment before he allows a small laugh.] In less words, I worked as a merchant as much as I could.

[Mattias had told him, of course, but he was curious to see if Oren would answer the question, so he's only half surprised by the long string of titles that rolls off the man's tongue. It tells him a lot, that Oren couldn't resist saying it, so he isn't entirely sure he buys the humility that follows it. He didn't mention his title for no reason. Royalty responded to it better than others.]

Well then. This is something of a step down for you then, hm? At least you're used to traveling.

[twocomplex]

I don't consider it such.

[Leaning against the wall behind him, he relaxes a bit more.] I've always enjoyed this sort of thing. I consider it an adventure.

[lord_wizard]

[He smirks just slightly, his gaze assessing Oren silently.]

Do you get kidnapped often?

[twocomplex]

[Okay, that gets him to lose where he is in this conversation. He pauses, giving him a look.]

Excuse me?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix seems unfazed by Oren's abject confusion.]

'This' sort of thing, you said. I certainly didn't sign up to be here, so I thought the same would be true for you.
