[asouroldelf]

Say this for you lot, 'least you know enough to keep what counts in working order.

[There's a scrape, likely from a boot on a hard surface.]

Even amongst great gallumphing lizards, eh?

[The phrase is too idle, as if there's something else on the tip of her tongue, waiting for the other words to get out of the way. After a moment, she snorts,

Comments

[1stguardian]

Hey.

[And yeah, it's a little cheeky.]

You want me to introduce myself again or what?

[asouroldelf]

[It prompts a laugh.]

Oh, put a sock in it, you.

[1stguardian]

[The smirk's almost audible in his voice.]

No can do. It's the only pair I have.

[asouroldelf]

Best learn to knit, 'less you're fond of slobbery toes.

[sdrawkcabsllort]

AND WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO BE ASKING US THIS SHIT?

[asouroldelf]

[There's a pause that's probably a bit overlong. Avari isn't the most attentive to her communicator. But when she see the text, she sighs.]

Eh, you mind? These old eyes of mine are getting on the dim side.

[sdrawkcabsllort]

[Rolling his eyes, Karkat switches to video.]

Who the fuck are you?

[asouroldelf]

[Her chin inclines as her eyes narrow.]

Name's Avari.

[myhrta]

[Smiling tiredly, Myhrta finishes scraping her hair back into a loose braid as she addresses the feed.]

Myhrta Starshower. One of the resident healers. Who might be asking?

[VIDEO]

[asouroldelf]

[A momentary pause as she looks at the screen. And her tone shifts into something a little less gruff around the edges, but a hair more stilted. Nothing about her expression shifts nevertheless, even if the scar still drags the side of her mouth down.]

Avari Lossemourne. Visiting weaponsmith, or resident if the fae see fit to keep me this time, and if this here forge ain't already got hands to work it.

[VIDEO]

[myhrta]

[Excitement gets the better of her at first.]

You can work a forge? Excellent! It might be best to talk to Aureln Dawnstrike and Viola about that - they do most of the work there that can be done.

[There's a slight pause, and then she gives a sheepish laugh.]

I'm sorry. Getting ahead of myself.

You said your name was Avari? Hmm... it sounds a little familiar - were you here before?

[VIDEO]

[asouroldelf]

Ain't nothing to apologize for. Just glad to know I ain't left to do all the work myself, if'n you follow.

[She shifts her weight, eyes tipping up as she thinks. Recalls. They move to scan the surroundings then.]

Been here before. Not long, mind, but I been here. Been elsewhere too. Can't say I remember your name, but me and remembering faces never much took to each other.

[unholy_rebirth]

[Hey, were you here before? You seem very vaguely familiar. Very, very vaguely......:|b Hrm.]

Thereth.

[asouroldelf]

Ther...

[Waaaait a minute.]

Thereth old girl, how've you been?

[unholy_rebirth]

[.......have you ever had one of those times when you know you know this person but you really can't quite remember how and you don't know their name but they know yours and you really should remember - ]

Avari?

[DOES SHE WIN?]

[asouroldelf]

Now the two of us are here, these fae ain't got much chance, have they?

[Oh, she wins.]

[audinimical]

What's this, some kind of roll call?

[asouroldelf]

Was thinking more introductions. Ain't looking to take down people's whereabouts.

[audinimical]

I'm Asher.

[asouroldelf]

Name's Avari. Pleasure's mind and all that garbage.
