[Grab Bag Curse : Backdated to Sunday - Afternoonish]
It was a new experience, shopping for groceries in order to attempt a recipe, but the young grocer was very patient. Even going out of his way to explain what certain fruits and vegetables were without being asked. The grocer seemed ( Read more... )

This marketplace of sorts, this... grocery store, with all its alien products draws the attention of the studious scholar in him. It surprises him to find Eagle seemingly distracted in conversation with the young shopkeeper.]
...Ahh. Commander Vision. Good day, good day. Shopping for supplies, I take it?

[And he was ABOUT to politely say hello when the curse decided he would be saying something else entirely. ]
I am sorry but you are clearly a 4. You are far too short and a bit too old for me to really be interested in. Though I do enjoy speaking with you… you know a bit too much about me and I find that highly irritating…
[huff]
Maybe you should be a 3 based only on that…

[Have a very level, slightly disbelieving look. There's a high dignitary from Fahren raising an eyebrow at you now, Eagle. And isn't that an eyebrow...]
...I beg your pardon?

[Maybe that would be explanation enough. Eagle didn’t suppose Chang Ang would be vain enough to worry about his low rating… ]

You're made to rate people. Based on your own reactions to them?
...So according to such, I happen to be too knowledgeable and -- and I quote -- "highly irritating" to you.

It isn’t your knowledge that is irritating… it is your knowledge of the future, specifically my future, that I find irritating.

There are certain things I would prefer to not have anyone know… and yet everyone seems to know them anyway. Anyone would find that… troublesome…

Eagle however fails to see the advantage of having to admit something like that… ]

I was already aware of this, yet not of how very much it troubled you...

[Just another obstacle to be brushed out of the way.
As long as that guy doesn‘t find out about any of this.]

[Because he wouldn’t have without this curse in play. ]

[Just ask Lady Aska how uptight this guy is about responsible use of magic. Bet he'd have a thing or two to say to Umi. But he lowers his voice and nods at Eagle in agreement.]
Very well. As we're dealing in plain speech today, I shall speak plainly too: I have no intentions of revealing any personal matters of yours to any of my Cephirian acquaintances.

But, look… open honest conversation. Congrates! One of the few people to get that out of him! ]
I’m sure most of them already know about it anyway. It is only Lantis who has to be kept in the dark and maybe your young Princess. I some how doubt she can keep any secrets.
[Children do speak first and ask questions later after all. ]

[Namely... your health's state.]
The Cail, however, is someone who falls out of the scope of my care. If he does find out anything about you it won't be from me.

[And then maybe this situation can be resolved before he learns a thing about it! ]
Thank you.
