The sentiment is appreciated. And the sympathy?

[ He eyes Percy critically. ]

[inclementia]

Really don't know what you're talking about.

[Tips his cup back to take a decent swig.]

[hermit_crab]

No. No experience with such matters at all, I see.

[inclementia]

I'm afraid you'll need to elaborate.

[hermit_crab]

[ SIGH ... does he want to know? Well, yes. Does he want to ask? That's more debatable. ]

If it's private I am fully aware of the fact we've only known each other a few hours. But still. That seemed to strike a chord with you. Do you have experience with being kidnapped, then?

[inclementia]

[This is a weird hill to die on, sir. But Percy can at least tell when someone isn't going to back down.]

Is it so important to know?

[hermit_crab]

I've given you a lot of detail about myself. And I know very little about you in return.

[ There's a hint of paranoia in his face. Unfortunate that Percy has white hair and glasses, really... ]

I've been burned by that before.

[inclementia]

[It really is unfortunate Percy stares him down before going back to his food.]

I have as well.

[But. Good faith trade of information, even if that information is very personal now.]

My family was slaughtered in front of me, and I was taken and tortured for years before I managed to escape.

[hermit_crab]

[ YEAH. Yeah. He KNOWS V'szkah is dead? He hit his father's body with lightning - watched the party kill every last remaining fragment of him - but that stare makes him curse how stupid and unsuspecting he'd been.

Annnnd then there's instant regret. Tolovir looks a bit ashen as THAT info comes to light. ]

Gods and Void.

[inclementia]

That's also not counting the two years I lost in a fugue state working on a fisherman's boat.

Or the amount of time I was imprisoned in a small township because they thought I was a cult leader.

[hermit_crab]

[ Additional regret. SO MUCH regret.

Tolovir hunches in on himself a bit. ]

I - I apologize. You've made your point very well.

[ He looks down at his plate. ]

I won't ask for details, but at this point I'd say you're well within your rights to require I listen to anything you want to say.

[inclementia]

There isn't much else to say on the matter. My friends had no idea who I was when they broke me out of prison because they... needed my expertise. And I traveled with them to get revenge. Turns out we helped each other as well.

[hermit_crab]

What expertise, then? And - the revenge ...

[ Well, he can connect the dots there. Whoever slaughtered his entire family. ]

[inclementia]

In creating weapons that can kill from afar.

[hermit_crab]

Ah. Your. Er.

Sorry, what did you call them?

[inclementia]

My pepperbox.

[hermit_crab]

Pepperbox, thank you. Given I've never seen anything like it, I'd say they recruited correctly.

[inclementia]

I've a few others but they're for special occasions.

[Like a vampire and necromancer that need to be killed.]

[hermit_crab]

[ A faint snort at that, and Tolovir un-hunches a bit. Safer territory, it seems. ]

The aforementioned revenge, I assume.

[inclementia]

Mm, yes. It was messy business, but I wouldn't be standing here otherwise.

[hermit_crab]

Are they enchanted, or is it all ... mechanical?

[inclementia]

I have one that's enchanted, but otherwise the rest are not.

[hermit_crab]

[ He nods a bit. ]

Honestly, the thought of doing it all mechanically is more impressive. There are mechanical things where I come from, but they're still powered by magic.

[inclementia]

Mm. There's plenty of magical things about this continent as well. But I always preferred science.

[hermit_crab]

[ A soft laugh. ]

I imagine that makes you the odd one out most of the time.
