[Muttering...]Maybe, I should try throwing the book at those demons one of these days...

[She raised an eyebrow as she fished out the keys to the shed.]

That friend who tried to kill you?

[lezard_valeth]

The same. The names she used for me... [He shook his head.]

But it matters not. The calamity sought to claim us all. ...That would technically leave me the sole survivor of Midgard, wouldn't it? Hmmm.

[Yet the faraway look was rather blank. Not even death really seemed to phase him.]

[vintage_magic]

Would you like to share? [She had to wonder what this—Mysty, was it?—called him if she disliked him so much.]

[And as she unlocked the door...]

You don't sound like you care much though. [Surely, most would have found the thought of all their friends and family suddenly being gone disturbing.]

[lezard_valeth]

Oh, the usual... nerd, worm, speck, rather diminutive things despite my having well over a few inches on her, but it isn't about height, I'd suppose.

[He seemed to snap out of his reverie then, and shrugged.]

Hm? Ah, yes... I suppose I don't - My family has been dead for nearly two decades, and Mysty was perhaps my sole friend if I could hardly call her that these days. My midgard isn't the cheeriest place, much less so in large part in gratitude to the gods.

Those that defy are destroyed. Those that submit are cattle.

[vintage_magic]

[Nerd did sound suitable going by appearances. Maybe, worm also considering how he tended to interrupt her gardening. But whatever retort she might have considered making faded away as he continued.]

You were an orphan? [Not a possibility that had ever occurred to her before. And once again, she found herself having one of those moments when she wondered if she was too hard on him. Despite her own estrangement from her parents, they weren't dead.]

I'm sorry...

[lezard_valeth]

[He only shook his head.]

In the past, my dear. I've taken my time mourning my mother, and what I remember of my father.

[But he would delve not into the prodigies born of the Valeth family on his mother's side, nor elaborate on what was all ready a tiresome story. He'd removed his glasses and massaged a temple. He'd even sounded tired just then.]

But that is enough of a tale for one day. How inconsiderate of me to blather on such things without a drop of wine!

[vintage_magic]

Do you make a habit out of reminiscing over wine? [Maybe, she should see if he'd spill any secrets after a bottle or two... If his world really was gone, it wasn't as if she'd ever have the opportunity to question anyone who might have known him back there.]

[lezard_valeth]

Who doesn't?

[She just might get more out of him that way.]

[vintage_magic]

[She made a noncommittal noise as she pushed the wheelbarrow into the shed and then locked up. But she had mentally filed that thought away for later. Maybe, an offer of a home cooked dinner to catch him off guard... Although she wondered if whatever she discovered would be worth putting up with him for such an occasion.]

If you'll excuse me, I should be getting back to my work. [Well, the work that she had been doing before that ill-conceived bit of practice...]

[lezard_valeth]

Yes, of course. You have my gratitude for the practice. [And a polite bow before he set off and - thankfully - left her alone.]

Good day.
