Stone's Throw

[Charon Tethras]

"Is in Sweetwater," he lies.

[Andreas Amell]

Andreas makes a show of looking around rather pointedly, then spreads his hands wide.

[Charon Tethras]

"I had to try." He sighs, trudging towards the temple without leading to the bathhouse. 

[Andreas Amell]

"Would getting you supper make up for it?" Andreas asks with a laugh.

[Charon Tethras]

"...it would help," the catfolk with the empty belly admits. 

[Andreas Amell]

"Then it's a deal! A bath, a meal-- do you do vegetables?-- and, and, a testing," Andreas declares, only stumbling a little. 

[Charon Tethras]

"I can eat anything," he says dubiously, "but I do best with meat or meatlike substances. mushrooms sometimes. Insects."

[Andreas Amell]

"Ah! I'm much the same. I'm particularly fond of trout, skysong beetles and venison myself."

[Charon Tethras]

"Never had venison. Which are the skysong beetles?"

[Andreas Amell]

"No? Oh well, that won't do. Ah, I'll have to find some tavern with venison stew for you tonight. Oh, and skysong beetles are an elven speciality, strangely enough. They've a shimmering blue and white beetle about four inches long at full growth. Once they mature, they take to the sky and never land again until well after they die. They have a small air sac in them that makes them lighter than air, so they float, you see."

[Charon Tethras]

mostly I had roaches. "no, never tried those either," he says, sounding a bit off. 

[Andreas Amell]

"Ah." Andreas coughs awkwardly, picking up at least a little of Charon's mood. "Sorry, I'm rambling. Umm... tell me about yourself?"

[Charon Tethras]

"not much to tell. I'm an orphan. Been in foster care my whole life. I don't speak Catfolk or anything special. I was studying to be a necromancer before I came here."

[Andreas Amell]

"Huh. Necromancy is a rare specialty-- ah, but you mentioned being from Sweetwater, didn't you?" Andreas nods thoughtfully. "Has anyone explained the regulations around raising undead in Nyra?"

[Charon Tethras]

"Yes," he clips. "Repeatedly. And at length."
