pulled him out of a rock

[magike]

Literally?

[headhunt]

literally!
he botched up an attempt to teleport

( can all but hear the mirth in her text. )

[magike]

That's certainly not a spell most should attempt. He was perhaps luckier in the consequences.

[headhunt]

could have been worse!
could have died!

i imagine trying to teleport off a crashing ship is fiddly business

( but the outcome is still so, so funny. )

[magike]

I know it certainly would be.
I assume after that things were better? I'd hope magical mishaps wouldn't be common.

[headhunt]

( )

after that? nothing but mishaps all the way down

what's the expression? out of the frying pan and into the oven?

[magike]

You were friends how long?

[headhunt]

were? still are!

met him about two seasons ago along with most of my other travelling companions. even got two of them are here in this place with me.

we fell out of the sky from that ship to land right into some twisted cultist plot.

or i guess we were already in it by being on the ship in the first place?

[magike]

This is starting to seem like a story more easily told in person, with wine, and from the beginning.

[headhunt]

think you're right
invite me over to tell it sometime

maybe i can tell you something else for now?

[magike]

You're welcome over anytime, love.

But you could always tell me one if your favourite things?

[headhunt]

don't think me simple
but grass and flowers!!

the big blue sky
rain

( that's more than one, karlach.

then another message comes through. )

what's some of your favourite things?

[magike]

Flowers are also something I appreciate.

Books, fine whiskey, an autumn evening.

Simple things are quite lovely.

[headhunt]

what's better?

cold weather or hot weather?

[magike]

Something in between. Too cold reminds me of when I was young, but too hot doesn't do much good for my skin.

A warm autumn evening, with a light breeze. The colours are beautiful, it's nice enough to still share a walk with someone, and there are many things you can see.

[headhunt]

did you grow up somewhere cold?

[magike]

Scotland could be rather cold. The summers were nicer, but the weather could be a tad unpredictable.

[headhunt]

unpredictable how?

tell me about scotland! do you think i'd like it?

[magike]

A harsh storm in the middle of an otherwise pleasant season.

You'd find places to enjoy, much sky and grass, and legends you'd wish to hunt down.

[headhunt]

LEGENDS?

what do you MEAN legends?

( don't activate her adventurer spirit, rowena. )

[magike]

There's a long history mixed with myths and tales, creatures and spirits told of but not always believed in. More fool to those who don't.

[headhunt]

that's how people get tricked. by not believing in stuff not immediately in front of their faces

life's grander with room for wonder in it

( because karlach knows that kind of person too. the one that finds out the hard way. )

got a favourite legend?
