Attention, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

There is, in fact, another drow in town. I need not give you explicit details, as he is the only other fellow here that shares the same physical characteristics I do. Just look for the small elf with black skin.

He's a touch on the brisk side and chances are he's already hurt someone's feelings, as that is what he tends to do when I let him out of the house for too long. Please attempt not to hit him for his gracelessness in conversation.

It usually doesn't end well.

[For more than the fact that Kimmuriel can pop a brain with his brain.]

With this also in mind, I'll have to ask anyone to not actually inform me if their feelings are hurt by Kimmuriel. My goodness, if I tried apologizing for every time he's said something less than P.C I'd never be able to finish a meal.

Try not to take it personally.

He's a work in progress.

[ Another moment of silence. ]

Did you say this person imagined it? And I try not to make enemies before I have made allies.

[acheat]

Oh don't worry, he's very easy to offend.

Why yes, he's a psionic, of course. Mind reading is childs play for him.

[captain_by_the_book]

I did not expect that. [ Which is a big understatement, really. ] That would explain why he was aghast that I didn't know much about sorerors and wizards.

I'm easy to offend, too, but only when it comes to issues which matter to me.

[acheat]

Oh a lot of issues matter to Kimmuriel.

I could sit here and speak of them all but honestly, I'm not immortal, I don't actually have forever.

[captain_by_the_book]

He sounds difficult. [ Mildly put. ] And yet you seem to be his friend. Why?

[acheat]

Kimmuriel is my second in command. I offer him protection, and he offers me his abilities.

I'm his friend because I enjoy his company regardless of his prickly nature.

[And it's very helpful to have a psionic around.]

[captain_by_the_book]

Fair enough. That sounds like a sensible arrangement.

[ It reminds him of K-2SO and himself, actually. ]

I've got to admit I'm curious now what it would take to offer protection to a mind-reader.

[acheat]

It's all terribly boring and mostly political.

[Which means it's not a story that's going to be told. Sorry, Cassian!]

[captain_by_the_book]

How kind of you to spare me.

[ Awww man don't do that to a spy! ]

[acheat]

I know, I am a saint, are I not?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Too bad this is video, he wants to roll his eyes. ]

I'm sure you are. Who are you?

[acheat]

[It's okay, Jarlaxle is very much used to eye rolls. Wouldn't even slow him down.]

Jarlaxle.

And you?

[captain_by_the_book]

Cassian Andor. Have you been here for long?

[ He likes to believe he has better self-control. Aka he only barks at people he knows. ]

[acheat]

I was here a few months prior, returned home, and have once again been brought back.

I've been a resident in Fayren for about a month.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Oh! Now he's intrigued again. ]

I don't think I've met someone from Fayren yet. I haven't been there yet, but the brochures said it's a place where magic is common.

[acheat]

It reminds me of home, really. Even the name is somewhat similar.

It's quite comfortable for people such as Kimmuriel and myself. While I am enchanted with Nova and Genessia, I do need a break once in a while.

[captain_by_the_book]

The technology level where I come from is closest to Nova City, though we have space travel. But back home everything is chaotic and unpredictable.

Nova City is so... restrictive. [ He fights with himself for a moment. ] It is very peaceful. [ And he can't quite hide that he doesn't necessarily consider that a good thing. ]

[acheat]

Ah, used to a little more entertainment and excitement then?

[captain_by_the_book]

...excitement, yes.

[ Nobody has tried to murder him yet. How do you deal? ]

I'm not complaining, but I'm used to a little bit more danger in my life.
