The owner is my ac-... [ oh, no. he almost defaulted to acquaintance. ] Bonded. He is my Bonded.
[ thank you, viren. there is a bit of difference between the terminology. ]
[ he takes another bite of the creme brulee. ]
He approached me about the business venture, suggested that I work here. So far, I'd been making do on quests, but wished for something steadier. —Besides not being a Lordly position [ and boy, is he a .. determined... and often disagreeable to customers, manager ], it's gone smoothly.
Oh, so you're like, real friends! [Suuure, Soren. Still! That's nice? That's nice, dad!! He's glad... his dad has someone close to him, like that. Working on something pleasant together, instead of waging wars or seeking revenge. That puts him more at ease, honestly.]
I'm starting up a guild of knights! It's not that many people, yet, but I hope we can help people out. Jonas gave us a cool name, already.
[ he affirms, any necessary nuance to that word... put aside for now... anyway, ]
Jonas is a Witch. [ as are you, soren! this is a coincidence that viren is leaning into, yes, even if he's uncertain if this will be picked up. ] How will your "band of knights" be helping people?
Well, he's also one of my knights. Witch Knights! That's pretty cool. He doesn't really fight or anything, but he's stupid helpful. Been teaching me healing magic, I'm kinda getting good at it. [it's just about the only magic he's gotten comfortable with. Everything else... still mostly creepy. Healing is nice, though, obviously very helpful. Even if Soren is lowkey waiting for what the catch is.
He keeps checking to see if his hair is turning white.]
So, yeah, that's about what we want to do. Go around and help people, however we can. Protecting or healing or whatever. Like a charity thing for those who need us!
[ viren returns to his dessert, savoring it for a few more thoughtful chews. he dabs his mouth with a napkin, decides this is, apparently, a subject worth expanding upon!: ]
If I see a ... band of knights, meandering about, I will be sure to consider calling upon you for help. [ he stabs the last forkful of creme brulee. ] And that's the only subject you've explored, so far?
