[anothergo]

Brilliant. You had me worried for a moment.

What color do you bruise?

[mayberaven]

I'd be a lot more outraged if you'd actually broken something.

Bruising? Kinda brown-ish. Green and red kinda muddy each other up.

[anothergo]

Understandably so. I'd feel horrible.
I worry about forgetting my own strength quite a bit.

That makes sense. I have a friend that turns green sometimes, but he doesn't really dent or bruise.

[mayberaven]

The strength's pretty impressive, but definitely more fun to gawk over when it's not me getting punched to be fair.

Light bruises tend to camouflage pretty well, lucky for me.

[anothergo]

Thank you. And that's a valid point. You should work on your defense.

Do you find yourself in bruising situations often?

[mayberaven]

You're not the first to say so.

[At least she's nicer about it than Beau, or Nott.]

Oh you know. You can't really do adventuring if you're afraid of a little bruising!

[Please let that make her think he's cooler, he feels like such a dweeb right now!]

[anothergo]

I'm happy to run drills with you. Just expect more bruises as you learn.

Adventuring? Like Boy Scouts? Or Indiana Jones?

[mayberaven]

I'd be surprised if I wasn't getting kicked around the training yard at least a little.

[It's how Vandran had taught him, after all. Rough, but effective.]

Can't say I know what either of those are. Adventurers are... well folk need things done, typically too dangerous for them to handle on their own, like clearing out bandits or protecting them from wildlife or something like that. Adventurers do that sort of thing. Paid usually, but sometimes... well, people don't always have a lot to go around. Seems kinda scummy to take their coin when they're that desperate.

[anothergo]

Just the normal amount with training. I hate bullies and wouldn't want to cross that line unintentionally.

Sounds like gentle mercenary work, at least when it's paid. Unpaid it's more using your skill sets for good.

[mayberaven]

I feel like your average person generally isn't a fan of bullies in general.

You're not wrong? Some adventurers are mercenaries, but not all mercenaries are adventurers kinda deal. Depends on the group and what they're willing to do for coin.

[anothergo]

Yes, but do they make it their job to punch them as often as possible?

And where do you feel you fall between adventurer and mercenary?

[mayberaven]

Okay fair that's not typical.

I mean, I'm not gonna claim to be perfect, but I've got my morals and I try and stick to them. Luckily the group I work with is all in a similar vein so we haven't had any big conflicts in that respect.

[anothergo]

When anyone claims they're perfect that's what we call a 'red flag', a warning sign. It sounds like you and your group try and do the best that you're able to help others. Some might call it hero's work.

But who am I to speak on that?

[It's a little joke he likely won't get as she's absolutely qualified to speak on the subject of heroes.]

[mayberaven]

What? No, nothin' so...

We're just trying to get by, best we can.

[anothergo]

Oh, so you don't help people with dangerous threats?

[mayberaven]

Well yeah

But we're literally being paid to do it?

[anothergo]

Every single time?

Do you feel good after you help others beyond the coin?

[mayberaven]

I mean-

Well I suppose we didn't get paid for saving Kiri... actually I'm pretty sure she cost us, four year olds gotta be fed and all...

[anothergo]

And how did you feel about saving a four year old child? Not letting her starve or fall to worse fates?

[mayberaven]

Well

I mean

It'd take a real shit person not to feel at least a little good doing that.

[anothergo]

There are people across the multiverse that only help people for selfish reasons. To make themselves look good or gain power.

Is this child the only one you and your group have helped?

[mayberaven]

Don't need to tell me that

I- well no, we've helped plenty of folk so far...

[anothergo]

I admire you and your friends for that.

Are the tasks simple? Do they require courage?

[mayberaven]

No-

I mean if they were that easy, anyone could do it. They wouldn't need our help.

[anothergo]

That would make you extraordinary beings that courageously help others for altruistic motivations beyond money?

[The answer is yes, Fjord.]
