[QUOTE="Lot, post: 2839566, member: 23740"] Lokin looks at the half-orc incredulously, trying to think of a polite way to point out how unlikely that would be. Lokin almost drops his blade with surprise, but keeps his hands on it somehow. Lokin is still stunned by the half-orc revelation, but he nods and tries to look comfortable. He starts to sheathe his sword, but stops halfway. Redrawing his sword, he gives it a few swings, testing it. [color=green]"I'd be happy to...I mean, of course, your secret is safe with me. I mean, I definitely think what has happened is unusual, but you've been through a lot recently. We almost all just died.
