James was a little confused at first, but didn't want to give up an opportunity for information relevant to the whole Department 7 situation. He shuffles over to give Marlene some space to sit down.
"How about some more of Franky Joe's Sloppy Special? Unless there's something else I should try," he smiles, and looks to Selene, "Whatcha reckon', Selene?"
Selene smiles, “Well an extra special would be good, Dexter needs something to eat. How about some chili-cheese fries as well, and mmm, some of this Apple Pie ala Mode for desert, now that sounds tasty!”
“Hungry little woman you got there,” Marlene chuckles as she takes a seat, “now that is the kind of girl I like to see, not afraid to feed her mouth, none of these waif thin watching their weight lasses.”
Selene laughs, “Why thank you.”
“So you want to know about us children of Moradin, eh? Well like I said it’s a long story, most of us have been here since the old times, you know? Or so my Grandpa used to say, before them dark times he would say. I never really understood the whole tale, but I reckon there was a right nasty war back in them old times,” she pauses to think.
Selene listens turning to James somewhat concerned but say nothing as she lowers her head to sip some milkshake through hr straw.
“Well unlike them story books this was some ancient battle between good and evil, you know, and according to my Grandpa, the good won the early fight, but ultimately lost to some great evil or something or the other. Course in winning, it lost as well and so there was no decisive victor and the children of the great evil were scattered, Grandpa used to call them the Nephilim or something, some weird name,” she shrugs, “it’s a legend mind you, most of this was probably just some flight of fantasy on the side of my Grandpa but he swears up and down that Moradin, I guess he is like a saint or god or something, watched over us good and right dwarf folks, like we were his children. He lead us good folks through them dark times.”
Selene nods, “Wow… and then what?”
“Well, I don’t know I mean this was all a long time ago, so I guess things got better,” she shrugs, “it’s a legend honey, like myth and stuff. I mean to think that the world was much different then it is now, an evil nation rising up and threatening the world, I mean something like that would leave a legacy, right?” she stands, “Oops, here I am rattling my mouth, and I need to check on your food and some other customers, I will put in your other orders!”
She stalks off to check her other customers.
