[when_in_me]

Hello, everybody! Grandpa Rome here! I just wanted to make a friendly announcement to the neighborhood about one of our newcomers. He goes by the name of Germania, and in the interest of our happy little community, I'd just like to clear a few things up about him! Everybody pay attention now~

First of all: don't panic if you see him. I know he

You think that choking to death on a grape is a more honorable death than being killed in battle.

[when_in_me]

Anything is more honorable than being killed by some scavenger rat.

[grumpyopa]

You choked on a grape.

After eating them like a glutton for hundreds of years.

[when_in_me]

Choked on a grape, yep.

[grumpyopa]

You're an idiot. If you're going to lie, at least come up with reasonable excuses.

[when_in_me]

I could have been choking on a grape during that battle. You don't know.

[grumpyopa]

I'd like to know why you were eating grapes in the middle of a battle.

After all, you could choke on them.

[when_in_me]

I get hungry during battles sometimes and grapes restore my stamina. You'd know about this too if you could actually afford real food.

[grumpyopa]

My food is fine as it is. Hearty and keeps us sustained long enough to last through a battle.

Then again, perhaps while you were eating your grape you were cut down because you were distracted.

[when_in_me]

Calling that slop you make food is an insult to chefs everywhere. Also, I was probably distracted by my choking.

[grumpyopa]

What distracted you is not my concern. You're an idiot for eating grapes to begin.

[when_in_me]

Spoken like a true uncivilized barbarian. You've probably never even eaten a grape.

[grumpyopa]

I have. [Not because he was rome's guard once or anything, no no no!]

[when_in_me]

Prove it.

[grumpyopa]

They're a round fruit of varying colors. About the size of the top of your thumb. They're slippery, and similar to berries in taste. Obviously easy to choke on and shouldn't be consumed before battle.

[when_in_me]

You could have read that in a book.

Oh wait no you can't read.

Touché.
