[He's staring into space, head cocked to one side, squinting. ]

I'm- no, no. I genuine can't remember a time where she didn't terrify me while she was here.

[reluctantbastard]

[Alistair narrows his eyes at Sokka.]

All right, you can tell me. What did you do to her?

[alwayscomeback]

I didn't do anything! She was just scary.

[reluctantbastard]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I still think you did something, Sokka.

[Now he's just giving him crap, but it does beg the question of what it is about Leliana that is so scary to the ship's captain.]

[alwayscomeback]

[So cruel, so unusual.]

I didn't! Just ask Riona, she'll tell you!

[reluctantbastard]

[Look, the fact that he's even alive right now is because he's both cynical and lucky. He's not about to change now.]

I think I will. I mean, the only time I've ever seen Leliana really upset was when we were dealing with someone who betrayed her.

[alwayscomeback]

Well, I don't think anyone betrayed her here? Not that I know about, anyway.

[reluctantbastard]

Maybe I will have to ask Riona, because that doesn't sound a thing like the woman I spent a year travelling with, Sokka.

[alwayscomeback]

Please do, please do. I'm really not lying here, man.

[reluctantbastard]

[Alistair claps a hand on Sokka's shoulder, amused by his captain's fear on the one hand.... and slightly disconcerted by it on the other.]

It will be okay. She's not here to eat you now.

[alwayscomeback]

[BE AFRAID ALISTAIR.]

Yet. Yet. Lots of you guys have shown up, she could turn up any day.

[reluctantbastard]

[Nah, he's good. This is how you get to be king. Have scary friends.]

Honestly, if she shows back up, I'm not worried. She's best friends with Riona. I'm fairly certain that my wife doesn't want anything to happen to me, Sokka.

Besides, she's not the scariest person we know. Not really.

[alwayscomeback]

That's true, Riona would kick the ass of anyone who tried to hurt you. Like a knight in shining armour.

[His eyes widen a little. ]

...That's a little terrifying to hear.

[reluctantbastard]

I assure you that I am perfectly capable of saving my own ass.

Most of the time.

[Sokka. Sokka, Morrigan can turn into a giant bear.]

You don't know the half of it.

[alwayscomeback]

But Riona can do it in style!

[WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT.]

Okay, I'm glad she never showed up. You know, if her creepiness isn't the worst.

[reluctantbastard]

Are you saying that I lack style?

[IT'S BETTER THAN THE SPIDER?!]

It's all relative. Shale was obsessed with squashing pigeons. Majorly obsessed.

[alwayscomeback]

You don't have as much as Riona, I mean, come on, most of us don't.

...Well. Just like- squashing them? Like- not even making them fit for eating?

[reluctantbastard]

It's true. Riona's pretty much the whole package.

[Says the most biased man to ever exist.]

And, no, I don't think golems eat.

[alwayscomeback]

This is a fact I absolutely cannot disagree with.

[Riona's great, ok. ]

So it was just random pigeon squashing? Did one kill her dog or something?

[reluctantbastard]

Uhhhhhh. Well, she's a golem. And she was stuck in place for thirty years. So, she kinda just hates all birds. Pigeons more than the others.

[alwayscomeback]

I'm not sure what a golem is. But yeah, if you're stuck in place, I can see where a hatred of birds comes from.

[ENEMY BIRDS.]

[reluctantbastard]

Big rock person controlled with a magic rod. Though Shale's broke and I dunno if she would have been better or worse if it hadn't been.

And she hated birds a lot, but it was definitely geared more towards pigeons for some reason. Had complaints from some of the people in the capital about squashed pigeons in certain areas.

[SHALE WHY?]

[alwayscomeback]

So...like a robot? But a rock robot?

[SO WEIRD. ]

Well, pigeons poop all over statues, right? So if she was still a lot, they probably pooped on her. It's a reasonable reason to hold a grudge.

[reluctantbastard]

I... gueeeeeess? They're golems.

[Look, he doesn't ask about dwarves anymore. They'll do a lot of creepy stuff. Besides, golems used to be dwarves. Who knows?]

Well, birds are pretty gross. I don't blame her for being upset. But, she just squishes 'em all for fun. No matter that they may or may not have crapped on her.

[alwayscomeback]

[It's not something any sane person would wonder too much about. Which probably explains why Sokka asks questions about it. ]

That...seems to be a lot of dead birds. That'd be messy too right? Bird...pieces everywhere?
