[asar_suti]

He's always here, some way or another, because he lives and works in the garden, and in the magic library; but today, Asar-Suti is actually evident in the bar room itself

Comments

"Teja's got your chair,"Gil said, indignant on Sooty's behalf, and topped up his coffee.

[asar_suti]

"Hello, Gil!" Asar-Suti says, smiling at the faun.

Hmmm, faun...

"That his name? He looks more as if his name ought to be 'Alaric the Destroyer' or something. I don't like arguing with axes, though. Do you have a moment to sit down, or are you totally run off your feet - hooves - what with the bar not being herself but Mike instead?"

[gil_whimple]

"Only a minute," Gil said sadly and perched on the edge of the chair. "Sometimes I think Sirius did us a disservice in making us so reliant on the Bar. If we weren't so dependent I could take on three times the number of kitchen staff anf do the cooking the old way and know where I am. Suddenly finding extra people at a moment's notice is a pain."

[asar_suti]

"The rats look stressed, too," Asar-Suti nods. "But yes, I prefer old-way cooking as well. Especially if it's yours."

He pokes his fork into the salad and grins.

[guppy_sandhu]

'Your smell's moved' comments something black, fat and fluffy by Asar-Suti's feet.

[asar_suti]

Oh.

Hello, Scampi! Asar-Suti says. My smell moved from where to where?

[guppy_sandhu]

There to here the cat replies.

Well, not your smell, because you don't smell of anything, but your lack of smell.

This makes full sense to him.

[asar_suti]

There is this axe warrior in my chair today, Asar-Suti says. I'm not going to drive him away; I don't need problems with security.

[iambetadraconis]

Taking opportunity of this event we send not one but two pups at Asar-Suti, and he's coming along shortly.

Because we care. And such.

Also, we're opportunity-capitalist bastards too.

Get to the narrative, yes? Gosh we sounded like Death's Head there...

Whatever Scampi might say, Asar-Suti does have a smell. Sort of like old sulphur and other volcanic gases.

And Rabastan notices it.

"Oh. Hello."

[asar_suti]

"Rabastan - I thought you were gone to your world?" Asar-Suti says, astonished.

[iambetadraconis]

"Was gone. Now I'm back."

Pause.

"Largely back. He's gone. What's left is the mess he and his never-merry men left behind them. The mess everyone else has to clean up."

Other pause.

"Everyone and me. If they let me."

[asar_suti]

"You mean, the dark lord of Gil's world is vanquished?" Asar-Suti says. "IIt would be safe for him to return if he wants to?"

[seker_pride]

And to make up for that other comment...

"Asar-Suti," says the oh-so-familiar voice.

Strahan.

Looking like he fully expected his god to be there, even if it might've been a surprise.

[asar_suti]

"Strahan!" Asar-Suti says, noticing his last follower. "Come sit, and join me!"

[seker_pride]

Since Asar-Suti is polite in his asking...

He sits.

Mun scrambles for something that doesn't involve a weather chart,

[asar_suti]

"So, how have you been doing?" Asar-Suti asks, friendly. "Would you like some coffee?"
