[It is taking all of Nate's very limited self-control to not reply to the local banter, so he does what Lance would probably suggest and chooses a more direct approach.]
okay so i don't know you very well, but i'm glad i'm not the only one interested in the inexplicable retrograde amnesia that seems to be hitting the people who cut down all the trees
sorry, i was being glib meant to call them narcissistic assholes
love the part where our local captain is volunteering his ship for kindling like he's doing all of us a favor when it's obvious he's more deadlocked in this tundra than sir francis in the northwest passage
i know, i'm just mad i don't get why they think they can pull stupid shit and then charge in like they're all heroes or something and then blame the gods when this doesn't even fit their m.o.
[Mildly teasing, even if they don't know each other well enough for her to be familiar with Nate's particular brand of sarcasm. He feels like she'll understand.]
been seeing a pattern with that lately
sometimes i'm not sure if they know they fucked up and are in denial about it, or if they genuinely think they didn't do anything wrong by turning hadriel into a logging facility
probably the second one and now that they've got some wood we should all fall at their feet or something actually i think they just expect us to fall at their feet by default
judging by the responses you're getting, i believe it
[Every second he exists in a world where conversations like the one he is quietly stalking are happening, Nate regrets agreeing to keep an eye on specific residents for Nick.]
the boat building lecture is a nice touch. someone should tell them that most fruit trees are actually rot resistant and that the pretentiousness doesn't look good on people who wasted our resources for dick metaphors
[It's too bad Nate can't see the way Kyna bursts out laughing.]
i don't know anything about trees, but that's amazing mr. fancy pants elf can't even get his botany shit right maybe that's why he was so desperate to have a big, cool boat it's like those assholes with the giant trucks, right?
except instead of blasting dixieland while going 80 in a 35 mph zone they're just setting the trucks on fire and telling us to be grateful for the warmth they have so graciously provided
do they know we don't have fireplaces or are they just trying to lock down firefighter relevancy
oh my god has anyone ever told you that you have a way with words? and yeah, probably a huge fire will start and then they'll show up bragging about how they have water and they can save the whole town
well, you're welcome and yeah, probably. then they'll wait for us to kiss their feet you know, i'm a half-elf, and this dude is living up to the condescending asshole high elf stereotype
oh uh there are different types of elves it's mostly a cultural thing high elves are the really fancy ones where i'm from there's been a lot of mixing and moving around and stuff, so the lines are more blurred, but there are still high elves around who think they're better than everyone else
you know someone taught me how to throw a punch the right way, but i still have noodle arms so it doesn't help much being a person shaped taser is way better

gee, do you think they'll bring the water they made from melting ice with a bonfire built of former apple trees?

also, normal human guy here, so this might be a dumb question:
what's the difference between a high elf and a regular elf?
no subject
there are different types of elves
it's mostly a cultural thing
high elves are the really fancy ones
where i'm from there's been a lot of mixing and moving around and stuff, so the lines are more blurred, but there are still high elves around who think they're better than everyone else
no subject
[Posh assholes who always look down on the bourgeoisie, that kind of thing.]
also i don't think we've actually met so
i'm nate
no subject
which i guess is obvious
you're lance's friend, right?
no subject
you're the one who's been teaching him magic, right?
thanks for that, i came back from home pretty banged up and he healed me
no subject
i suck at healing magic, but i've taught him everything else, so i'll totally take credit anyway
no subject
[its ok lance they love u anyway]
no subject
so it doesn't help much
being a person shaped taser is way better
no subject
you just need to know where it hurts to punch
no subject
is she a badass?
and where should i punch?
no subject
[Clocked him really well during their first job together. Sometimes Nate's jaw still feels it.]
i can actually show you sometime, if you want? might come in handy if you get de-magicked for some reason
