Message: <blockquote data-quote="Axel" data-source="post: 5517209" data-attributes="member: 93196">I can tell we're going to have a wonderful working relationship a rather stunned Alden thought.  From genuinely being open and honest for the first time in awhile, to being coloured....pink...to having the immature young noble apologise all within a few minutes?  Things were FINALLY getting interesting."Thanks Marty" he says, addressing the Dwarf.  "Pink doesn't really suit my complexion, does it?"  He'd never thought the Dwarf had actually trusted him with anything more important than food runs before.  A good day for revelations...  "If you're still quartermaster down at the camp rather than Fallon, I might drop around later and pick up some supplies."Turning to Alex, Alden says "I didn't know you were a wizard boss.  Explains a few things."  He grins again, amused by alex's poposity.  "Come this way and I'll introduce you to Poo-Breath."  Alden takes a few steps away from the tree, checking to see if Alex is following.  "I'm pretty sure he licks his own butt when nobody's looking.  Mind you, the others probably do too, but Poo-Breath is by far the worst of the lot."With a glance over his shoulder to be sure that Martomum was out of earshot, he added in a quiet voice, "I'll show you how the army really works tonight.  There's no chance of making Rem before nightfall anyway once we pack for a trip.  You see, people here are judged and aportioned responsibility by what they can do and what they have done.  Now don't take this the wrong way, but in my experience beneath all the Lord this and Duke of Nowhere titles of the men and women nominally in charge lies a bunch of scared  children waiting for Daddy to fix their problems.  Their second-in-command tends to be someone very practical who understands how the real world works.  I'll introduce you to those guys.  If you want something done, talk to them, not Baron Whatsisname."Alden quietly appraises Alex during their walk away from the tree, paying particular attention to some of the more distinguishing traits, like eyes and hair.  "Now, with hair like that you must be one of the Ravensworth clan.  I didn't realise that the house traits extended to eyes as well.  They're weird man.  How'd you get them looking like that?  Magic?"  [sblock=OOC]Yes, first dice roll of the thread is mine!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock] </blockquote>
