[ No reaction to the first, huh? They will consider their own cup before bringing it to their mouth to take a drink. ]
There's quite a bit to pick from. How do I ever choose? [ Hm. ] I have reached the Golden Core level in cultivation. It's very impressive in my world.. [ It's mid level but he doesn't need to know that ]
I wonder when I'll encounter someone who knows. [ Shaking their head. It's such a shame! ] You will owe me two bits of information in exchange if I do explain it to you. Are you prepared to pay the price?
[ it's his favorite button yeah. also he's going to have a terrible day tomorrow let him hvae this! not me wanting to start another audience thread for sunday ]
Hmm. Two? Fair. Let's hear it.
it's somehow embarassing explaining this to your character
[ They swirl the liquid in their glass as they think about how to put it. ]
Cultivation is strengthening one's core through meditation and training. [ They help themselves to tapping where the core would be on Temenos if he had one. ] Not everyone has the talent to cultivate, but when they do they can take in energy from around them or generate their own.
Similar to that. Ah! There's a comic that one of the kids here recommended. It's about these people who can wield something called The Force. It's very similar to that.
[ They move their hand to straighten whatever he's wearing. Then they'll go back to their drink. ]
While my core type is common, I use a rather unique cultivation style that I developed myself.
...I see. I'll have to check that out. [ oops i forgot the star wars bit.
it's his priest clothes. because he is boring. very boring!
temenos tilts his head though, now looking genuinely very interested? even leaning in a little. magic nerdery is osvald's thing, but that doesn't mean that he won't participate in it. ]
That will be very difficult, but I wish you the best of luck.
[ his voice lilts as he says it, chuckling a little as he picks up his cup again and considers it. ]
...Let's see. Your question from earlier, to start. My world is in peril because of a group that called themselves the Moonshade Order, who were attempting to resurrect the fallen presence of the god Vide, and bring on a world of endless darkness.
Mn. [ the wording is interesting, but he doesn't touch on it beyond that, instead just looking down at the remaining sake in his cup. ] In this case, they are the sort who saw the world as one of only misery and despair - worthless, and already lacking in light.
We were on our way to stop the final summoning of the god when I found my way here.
I could see why you be eager to get back. [ They seem to consider saying something, but decide against it. Finishing up their own cup before refilling his if he lets them ]
I'm assuming you aren't the type to like leaving unfinished business alone. [ On top of the whole... it's his world on the balance with his possible friends.
They are quiet for a beat for they wave their hand. ]
Just was remembering something unpleasant. Nothing for you to worry about. Do you have another bit of information for me?
[ when he smiles this time, it's a bit enigmatic. ] Like a dog with a bone. Or, I suppose, a hound.
[ ha ha. get it. which... temenos clicks his tongue, thoughtful. ]
As for information, I suppose that's a good piece, since you weren't too specific... My 'hero's name' is not a name I'm unfamiliar with - it's a nickname I've had at home.
[ Sherlock Holmes but make him a priest in a fantasy jrpg ]
It does make it tempting to keep that bone away. [ Just in general, not with his world. They are giving a teasing grin at that, then taking another drink. ]
I was wondering about that. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of ears. How long has that been a nickname of yours?
If you did, I'd find it. [ he gets the teasing and returns the smile. though, at the second bit... ]
Oh, I don't know. Five years now? Maybe a bit less. [ he props his chin in his hands, and rolls his eyes, just a little, sounding bored if critical. ] An uncreative name from an uncreative murder of hovering crows.

As ever, you are helpful, yet vague. [ teehee. he doesn't sound bothered by it, though. ] What is cultivation? You sound like a farmer.

What makes it unique?
no subject
I can't divulge too much, my dear. I will say that it was made specifically for those who can't cultivate normally. Anything more is a Sect secret.

[ he thinks, for a moment, hand coming up to his chin. ]
Do you have a preference for what I should share? You gave me a bit more than I was expecting. I'll give you a bit of choice, in exchange.
no subject
I don't have a preference at the moment. I do aim to get every bit from you eventually.

[ Maybe they have lucky peets ]
I can never understand the groups who want to bring about darkness or resurrect what should be left forgotten.

You could call it unfinished business.
[ he will obligingly tilt his cup towards them to let them refill it! as always, he's observant, so when they're finished, he tilts his head.]
Something on your mind?
