(Action - Fayren)

[lancernexttime]

[The problem with being stuck here as a servant, especially one who likes good battles?

Boredom.

And Cu isn't the one to be bored for long. He's wandered out to a relatively unoccupied part of Fayren, where magic may not be completely strange, to practice his rune magic and summon his Noble Phantasm.

So, if you're out and about in Fayren, and see fire and explosions in the distance, it's just him. He's friendly, if a big fire happy, so please, come say hello!]

Oh yeah? Afraid I'll try to drown you when you're not looking?

[She might be joking, might not be. Regardless, her eyes are drawn to his staff as he spins it..like it were a lance. Li looks a little uneasy as she shifted, her movements having a bit of equine to them as she focused back on him.]

Prove it. Humans lie all the time so how do I know you're really who you say you are?

[lancernexttime]

I mean, that's what the legends say your kind does. But... legends do exaggerate sometimes. [A smile, just... ignore the fang that's there.]

Of course.

Ask me something. Anything. That only the Hound of Culann would know.

[li_amaranth]

Sometimes and sometimes those legends are true. [She can ignore the fang as long as he can ignore her own predatory smirk.]

Fine.

[She has to think for a moment before deciding on something. Something that actually meant something to her in a way.]

...Your name. Before you earned the name Hound of Culann. What was it.

[lancernexttime]

Hmph. [But, there's a small smile on his face again.]

That was years ago, child.

But I was known as Setanta, before the hound.

[li_amaranth]

[After hearing his name, she relaxes a little and nods. So.. he might actually be the real deal. It's funny how names can mean more than people realize. She already figured that if anyone was pretending to be a hero from myth, they'd go off the most well known stories.

...And not really pay attention to the rest. Like a simple less known name.]

Even if it was years ago, names still hold weight.

[She kind of wishes she still had her own.]

I'm called Li.

[lancernexttime]

Especially for Servants. [She may not know that, but eh. It didn't seem like there was going to be a grail war here. It was just circumstances and strange summoning.

He bows.]

A pleasure, Li.

I'm assuming you're like most of us, and not here on your on volition.

[li_amaranth]

[Li's not exactly sure what a servant is or what context he's using it for.. but, apparently it had to do with names. She nods slightly, sort of doing her own version of a horse greeting which was strange and hard to do as a human but, old instincts were hard to fight anymore.]

Pretty much. I woke up in the bay just like everyone else with a handful of bills and the necklace that lets us go between the cities. I guess, it's a better gig than what I was dealing with before here.

But, it's still a pain in the ass.

[lancernexttime]

Joy. [He's just going to summon a rock to sit on. Yay being a druid.]

How is it better than before? Getting ripped from home isn't that fun.

[li_amaranth]

[How useful.]

No, it's not. But, I'm not stuck in the desert feeding off prostitutes now am I.

[Instead she was in some strange place feeding off who knows what while waiting for a wizard to break her curse.]

...And... I seem to be able to get the help here I need that I couldn't at home.

[lancernexttime]

You were... stuck in a desert feeding off... [He trails off, sorry Li.] What's the story behind that?

[He smiles a bit.]

Well, that's good then?

[li_amaranth]

A very long one.

[Understatement.]

Yeah, it is. It means I'll be free eventually.
