not in a legion camp,
rome will be a republic aga-- wait what,
crows and furies,
needs moar pretty ladies,
just missed the fight of the century,
can have princeps,
pretty fly for an aleran tribune,
more of a cursor than a centurion,
bit of a womanizer,
the calderon is a bloody idiot

A ... game of pool? That sounds... interesting.

Do you know what pool is, by any chance?

... Is that a trick question? Last I checked it's a hole filled with water.

Ooh, no. I mean yes, that's true, but I'm actually talking about a game. It's um, played with balls on top of a table, with a stick. Also called billiards?

Never heard of it. But I'm a willing enough pupil, if you'd have half a mind to teach me?

I'd be happy to! All you really need is decent hand-eye coordination.

Decent. Well I suppose. No crafting allowed, huh?

Not quite sure what you mean by crafting...

... Ah... bloody crows. It's... a practical application from my ... 'world'. Essentially, to an outsider's view, it's elemental magic. Water, metal, wood, fire, air and earth. Almost every Aleran has one or two - some have all six. The furies themselves are harnessed forces of the elements they represent.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense. I sort of skipped my practical furycraft class.

Got it, magic. We don't have any where I come from, so I know next to nothing about it, but I think I at least get what you're saying. And no, that would be considered cheating at pool, I'm afraid.

None? That-- well. I know someone that'll be very happy to hear that.
I'll be sure and refrain, then. Can't be too hard.

Oh? You have a friend looking to find a place where there's no magic?
It's not difficult to learn. But I hope you don't have any objection to losing to a girl.

... Sort of. It's a little complicated, and probably not my story to tell. He'd probably like it here, though.
None at all! I have a soft spot for girls that can best me in any given field.

Well, if he's a friend and he'd like it here, then I hope he maybe shows up.
Then I guess we just need to pick a time.
Reply
Eh, as much as he'd like it, I'm not sure I'd wish being stuck in a strange place on anyone. It's bloody well bad enough that I'm here, I'm supposed to be with him, watching his crowbegotten back.
... Pardon my language. Campaigning'll do that to me, I'm afraid.
I have no other obligations, though I'm going to go check in with the resident Medica, to see if they need a hand with this 'plague' thing.
