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.
I believe being the inquisitor suits me just fine. [ his title would've been the nice choice, but the ominpotent gods (me) think the hound is funnier. ] I can be a hound, though. Frankly, I don't find it as insulting as those crows wanted it to be.
[ they may get the feeling temenos rarely finds things insulting. ]
If I didn't know better, I would wonder if you also liked pets and belly rubs. [ It's been long since established it's the type of hound that is relentless, but the image of Temenos having a secret affectionate side is amusing ]
Inquisitor is much better than a Hound. I'm sure we can come up with other names that are fun though. [ Time to down their drink and pour themselves another one ]
We aren't. It might take a few years before you get to the next level with me. Just thought it could be fun to get some ideas if it ever happens. [ Shhh. ] I do like Rabbit. They are cute and can be quite taste in a stew. If I had to pick another, I would be tempted to steal Phoenix or Fox.
You're forgetting the cute part. [ Which is more important clearly ] As much as I would love to take credit for picking my Bunnies, I didn't have a say in it.
[ They seem to look at their cup for a moment. ] Our good looks and charm? [ Their tone is light, but they aren't looking up from their drink ] It might be we're some version of shameless.
You - [ a pause. ] Excuse me. Someone chose a cleric for a group of people categorized as shameless...?
[ he's joking, because - well. yeah. it'd be hard to miss the fact that he is a little, tiny bit shameless. maybe. (a lot.) temenos watches them, taking another drink and setting his now empty cup down. he can sort of hold his liquor, it seems? practice. ]
While I have theories, I haven't spent enough time yet with all of you to say for sure. You've spent more time with your teammates. What is your guess?
Their lips lifting in the corners. ] Maybe I really should spank you. [ Time to just finish this drink as well probably to waste even more time ] Leaving me aside, you all seem to be kind and want to get to the bottom of this.
We've been over this, little rabbit. [ a little singsong. ] Doubt is what I do.
[ teehee. the spanking threat does not fluster him even an inch, because nothing does, though he raises an eyebrow as they continue to waste time... patiently... and then hums a little, at the assessment.
and leans forward a little. bully. ] Oh? Does that leave you aside?
[ this is answer enough that he knows he's right ]
Sure, sure. You know - hopping about, declaring yourself the leader, this and that, does not get you much in the ways of respect and trust. Things like this are a bit more effective, mm? Conversations and the like.
You act as if I'm the one who decided it. [ They remove their hand to take another drink. ] Do you call this a conversation? You've only been teasing me this whole time. [ Bulli ]

[ maybe he does! (he does not.) (maybe.) but he chuckles a little with it anyway, amused and taking another drink. ]

Liking the name because it's edible is a very strange reason to like the name, you know...
[ but, all bullying aside. ] I could see that. Instead, you've just poached all the foxes, haven't you? We've two of them.
Let me ask you this. What do you think unites the four of us together? Five, really. Counting yourself.
