[zelgadis is allowed, i think.]

What is it that you normally do, then? Or... did.

[hardrocklife]

I'm just a wanderer. I take on mercenary work from time to time... bodyguard work, usually.

[voidshift]

Hm. Not the kind of job a caster would usually take, but if your experience is diverse enough, I can see how it could be effective.

[hardrocklife]

When it comes to it, I'm plenty skilled with a sword. And apparently, intimidating enough to scare off any small-fry assailants.

[A shrug.] It pays enough to get me from one destination to another, so it's good enough for me.

[voidshift]

...I could see that. You do have that sort of aura.

[the intimidation factor...]

Traveling for any particular reason, or just to see more of your world?

[hardrocklife]

[A nod. He's okay with being intimidating.

And then a delay before he answers.]

I'm searching for something. A cure.

[voidshift]

-I see.

[he doesn't pry about what it was for, but-]

Were you close to it, do you think?

[hardrocklife]

[He clenches a fist at his side. There's a flicker of emotion in his one visible eye; some feeling that he's trying to suppress.

He shakes his head.]

[voidshift]

[...ah. his long brows furrow; he looks like he's considering what to say, before he just settles for:]

If we're being told the truth, then we're not entirely doomed to stay here just yet. There's that.

[hardrocklife]

[A nod. He brings his clenched fist up close to his chest.]

... Yeah.

No matter what, I have to get out of here. It's the only way.

[voidshift]

You might need to work on the aura, a little, but motivation is never a bad start.

[hardrocklife]

My aura...?

[voidshift]

If we're going to have to get invited to a party, the intimidation factor might not help.

[hardrocklife]

... I see...

[He just... has to think about that.]

[voidshift]

Maybe you could work with it, you never know. Lean into the cool and mysterious angle.

[hardrocklife]

I'll consider it.

[he's trying.]
