Who here is bravest?

Comments

[boeric]

[ attaboy ]

You have met these griffons? Flown one?

[dirthsal]

[ no, ] Yes.

[ he's familiar with them, he's just been building rapport before getting to the flying part. he and ghostface are reaching an understanding. ]

[boeric]

You will wear a pack with a cord. When you jump from the griffon, you will pull this cord. This is so that you do not die. Do you understand?

[dirthsal]

[ ...hm. ]

How does pulling the cord keep me from dying?

[boeric]

These are many questions for a brave man.

[ teasing. ]

There is a sail in the pack, sewn to the cord. You have seen the flying squirrel? Gliding fish?

[dirthsal]

Brave doesn't mean stupid. But yes, I have. The sail catches the wind, then?

[ genuinely: ] That's clever.

[boeric]

This Tevinter, he thought so. It did not open fast enough.

[ brave and stupid ]

I have made changes. We must see that your griffons do not eat them.

[dirthsal]

That may be a challenge, they learn about things by putting them in their mouths.

[ like babies, in that way. ]

We'll figure it out. Who are you?

[boeric]

See? This is why we test. You will call me Sennara. I have come to assist your researchers.

[dirthsal]

Andaran atish'an, Sennara. I'm Talin [ tah-lean, ] the bravest man in Riftwatch.

[boeric]

Shanedan, Talin. You are Dalish?

[dirthsal]

You wouldn't know it to look at me. [ no vallaslin, but he's not hiding his upbringing. ] Shanedan, is that Qunlat?

[biggame]

[ face @ both of them ]

[boeric]

[ shouldn't you be running ]

[boeric]

Yes. Seheron is many elves, few Dalish. But we have stories of the old times.

[dirthsal]

[ gross. ]

I haven't met many of the Qun, [ that he hasn't immediately murdered ] are these gliding devices common with your people?

[boeric]

Qunari on dracolisk is short flight. But Tevinter, they try this. Not good yet. Need fixes — so I fix.

feel free to drop, clearing my inbox!

[dirthsal]

Not surprising that Tevinter inventions don't work when they're not based on something that was elven first. What went wrong, and how did you fix it?

[ he's already most of the way to the eyrie, just trying to make it sound like he's not close yet to xio and clarisse. ]
