[There's a certain Eldarian soldier stalking angrily through the plaza. That in itself is nothing out of the ordinary; Arumat walks around with a scowl on his face a good 95% of the time. No, what's unusual is the fact that he's positively dripping with chocolate syrup. Yep, guess who got caught in a chocolate rain? The situation probably

[There is another fighty-type with questionable fashion sense in the plaza today, attempting to get his errands all done before he gets... that. When Sigmund sees Arumat, he actually does a double-take. The image is just that ludicrous.

He digs a cotton cloth out of his shopping bag. It was going to be put into service waxing his sword, but... he can get another one. These are dire circumstances. 'Sup, Arumat. Wad of white fabric, being tossed your way.]

[13th_captain]

[Arumat isn't the type to thank someone for something like this, but Sigmund will get a nod of gratitude as he uses it to wipe the worst of the chocolate out of his face and hair. The other man is similar enough to him that he knows a verbal thank-you isn't needed in this situation. He is curious, however, so he decides to ask a single question as he cleans himself off.]

Have you been affected as well?

[chaincutter]

[The nod gets a small dip of Sigmund's chin in kind.]

Not yet. [Although his tone suggests he's just waiting for this remarkable good luck to run out.]

[13th_captain]

You'd best hope your luck holds.

[... oh disgusting, it's running down the inside of his jacket. He'll just deal with that when he gets home. At least now his hair is only partly chocolate-colored!]

[chaincutter]

[There's enough of an inside to that jacket for it to run down?

Sigmund's hardly going to keep Arumat standing in the plaza longer than he wants to be, especially while he's dripping chocolate everywhere, so he takes a step to the side to signal that Arumat can leave whenever he pleases. A big step, to be out of range of chocolate spatters.]

I do.

[13th_captain]

[Unfortunately, it would seem that way. Arumat had never thought that he'd be considering his outfit to be too MUCH clothing, but it certainly seems that way when you've got chocolate everywhere.

Still, he'll be polite and fold the cloth up as neatly as he can before handing it back to Sigmund. Just... disregard the chocolate.]

An experiment?

[chaincutter]

[...He didn't really want that back after it got chocolate goo all over it, but he takes it anyway. Now his glove is going to be all sticky. Gross.]

If so, it is a foolish one.

[13th_captain]

Foolish is better than dangerous.

[He takes a step and... makes a squelching noise as he does. How humiliating.]
