[QUOTE="Malacat, post: 1144986, member: 14528"] The man who stands next wears sturdy leather clothes marked with the imprint of armor. With his broad shoulders and large size, he looks far more like a grog lieutenant than like a magus, and the hands he lays flat on the table as he speaks seem more suited to a sword’s hilt than to magical gestures. He bows to Marie, and to the assembled magi, an edge of awkwardness to the motion. “Salvete, sodales.” He pauses, glancing around the room once more. “Tsaran. Of Tremere. I come from the east. Serbia.” After a moment of silence, during which it is not clear that he will continue, he does so. “I come to the Order later than some. Before I was chosen, I had a life among my — my mundane family. I was a knight, a soldier. I was married. It is very much a different world. The world of the Order is closer to the real, to the world of Plato. Still, the mundanes live well in their cave with their fire and shadows, and their cares are real cares. “But never mind that. I have come here because I look forward to living among magi who do not think as the Tremere. I would have friends and allies who do not expect me to lie for them.” His eyes glint in his pale, exotic face for a moment, then focus on the present again, and he becomes diffident once more. “I do not know that what I have to offer will be as great as any of the others, but I offer it all the same. Be warned that I am under obligation, and owe a season’s service every year to Baron Volakula in Serbia. I do not mind mundanes, and I do well enough among them. Also, I have fought alongside grogs and mundane warriors before, and I have a small skill — very small — at using magic to help them. As you will expect from one of my house, I have an interest in certámen, and I seek to improve my skills at it. Should our covenant require a representative for a certámen duel, or should any of you wish a witness to any certámen in which you plan to participate, I will be happy to oblige — unless someone else is better-suited. “My talents are much smaller than I would like, but I am interested in longevity potions and in magic to aid warriors and mundane folk, as well as in certámen. I have much to learn, little time in which to learn it, and many I wish to help. I hope you will be pleased to count me one of your number.” He glances around the table, gives a small nod, and sits again. [/QUOTE]
