Ask the Seneschal

Come, Arisen. I'll not waste time on rhetoric: ask me a question and accept my knowledge. You stand now at the edge of the world, so ask what ere comes to mind! — Note: this blog contains SPOILERS —

Savvy, every parent has a favourite. What's yours? Harpies?

I have no favourites, Arisen…

That said, there are those that I find less worthy of contempt if that counts?

In that case then I’d say I bear no particular ill-will toward the griffins and chimera I create. They’re quite cute in infancy and well-deadly in adolescence onward.

As for harpies? Sodding annoying, but worth their weight in gold when they torment hapless adventurers in the Blue Moon Tower!

[asksersavan]

What's your favourite thing about being the Seneschal?

Granting the occasional boon and tempering those acts of altruism with the odd calamity…

Hm.

I didn’t used to be so twisted, I wonder when I began to delight in such malefic behaviour?

[asksersavan]

Seneschal why do you sit in that dull room, why not spice it up a bit — a rug or SOMETHING!

Arisen… Of all the things, in all the worlds, you could query me on you choose the decor of my chambers…?

*sigh* Maker give me strength… Alright, I’ll deign to reply to your persiflage, ridiculous though it may be…

This chamber is beyond my influence. I am sovereign of your world, and can shape it at will, but I hold no such dominion here. ‘Tis a grim space, almost sentient and well-ancient.

So, no, I shan’t be brightening my chambers with a rug or what e'er else counts for interior design these days.

[asksersavan]

Savvy! What's your favourite season?

‘Tis the fall, Arisen.

A time for nature to show off her beauty with a carnival of colourful leaves and fruits.

Spring would have second place: the beautiful rebirth.

[asksersavan]

You gotta give me the details, cutie. Let's try another one; where did you procure those luscious lashes? How do you go about containing their flamboyant beauty?

Arisen… I’m left with the strong impression you’re joshing with me. That or mayhaps flirting, I can never tell.

T'was my Maker who gave me my eyelashes, and what a simple set I’d say they are!

Is there aught else you wish to enquire of me? I’m somewhat curious…

[asksersavan]

What about your nose, Senn-these-chall? Where'd you fetch that pecker?

My… your interest in my facial features is quite perplexing, Arisen!

Well, I’m afraid my answer is to be the same: my Maker gave me them. I trust that sates your voracious, mayhaps even bizarre, curiosity?

[asksersavan]

Will you marry me?

No.

Naught as rough as love’s rejection, eh Arisen? Why don’t you use that ire to come and slay me? *grins*

[asksersavan]

What's your favourite food?

Vieteian venison and freshly baked bread. No finer fare could there be!

But, alas, Viete is but a charcoal memory now, bathed in dragon’s fire…

[asksersavan]

So, how comes you're really easy to beat in the final battle? Grigori was much harder.

My. How very sassy you are, Arisen!

Clearly you put the ‘sass’ in assassin.

I had wondered about mocking you with the idea that I ‘took it easy’ on you, but that would be untrue. The truth is I am tired, Arisen. Tis’ a long path I have trudged, and I am left weary from walking it for such a time.

Oh hey. My first dragon fight

IT’S NOT GONE WELL

[asksersavan]

Ha! It never gets old watching fledgling Arisen fleeing from Drake.

[asksersavan]

Where'd ya get your ears, Sennie?

Erm… My ears, Arisen?

Well, I imagine my Maker gave them to me. Much as They gave me eyes and a nose and hair…

Are you fond of my ears for some particular, no doubt peculiar, reason?
