King's Mulligan [Interactive Project]

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

 You point dramatically directly at the proxy, the eye on its necklaces blinks in surprise.

TIles: Would you like to assist me on this?

THe proxy’s body shifts upright in excitement, clearly thrilled at the idea.

Tiles: Right then, follow my lead.

Courier: Mm? Follow on what-

Tiles: Styx.

Courier: What about him?

Tiles: The two of you seem… close?

Tiles: The way you speak to him seems to soften him up, I see his ears.

Courier: That wouldn’t be much help I don’t think.

Tiles: Oh?

Courier: He’s a snake, at least I believe so?

Courier: He’s admittedly reluctant to show his true form, even Gallows hasn’t seen it more than a couple of times.

Courier: His body language isn’t quite correct for a rabbit because he’s not one in the first place.

Courier: Ears pulling back usually mean distress or confusion, but he does it when he’s happy a lot of the time.

Courier: That’s as far as I understand anyway.

Tiles: But the two of you…

Courier: Complicated?

You turn over to the proxy.

She shifts her head with just a tinge of snark.

Courier: You don’t have to do me dirty like that..

You point directly at the… lizard? Dragon? Whatever xey are.

Tiles: Complicated? He clearly opens up to you more than others.

Courier: It’s not anything incredibly committal but.. We find much in each other’s company.

Courier: But the details are a little more intimate than I’d like to fully detail.

Courier: Very reclusive, as I’ve said.

Tiles: And um…

You look back over at the proxy, she turns her head toward Courier.

Courier: Don’t think she understands you yet, no.

Tiles: Understand?

Courier: Lash here talks, just… not everyone can hear her.

Courier: Proxies are a bit tricky when it comes to verbal communication.

Tiles:... Can she sign?

Courier: Uh..

Lash shakes her head.

Courier: Ah, does not seem so… do you?

Tiles: I’ve picked up some, part of the job.

Courier: Being a knight really asks a lot, always assumed it was more.. Punchy.

Tiles: You’re a protector of the people, not an enforcer of law.

Tiles: And to protect people, you have to understand them. To distance yourself is to take the mantle of a marauder.

Tiles: And to sell yourself to those of status is nothing more than to be a weapon.

Courier:.. Phrasing..

Tiles: Ah… I’m sorry-

Courier: Just messing really, I understand what you mean.

Xey put a few books to the side.

Courier: I don’t know where I’m at right now. A sword, a mammalian dragon, trying to grasp a lot right now.

Courier: Gallows has shown me much of fluidity in people like yourselves that makes me want to try it myself I think.

Lash gives a few gestures and head tilts.

Courier: Aye.. Styx and Gally have both really been nothing but kind about this whole thing, albeit the former isn’t so when it comes to himself.

Courier: Something to work on, be kind to him.

Courier: And.. feel free to address me by any means. Encouraged really.

Courier: Have my preferences with strangers but, I feel you’ll soon be a good friend.

Courier: Maybe assuming a bit much..

Courier: Think I’d like to learn more about you, especially if you’ve caught the attention of so many good people quickly.

Xey slide a book over to you. Lash opens up a portal

Courier: Best I could find. We need to scoot out but..

Courier: Would you be up to a bit of time together before bed? Have biscuits and drinks to share, could invite others if you’d like. Lash can spread word..
