Meeting the Lion of Lordaeron 6/5/405GC
Tixi approaches the hut on the south side of Astranaar, overlooking the south lake. She has just arrived in Astranaar after deployment for the Shadows of Ashenvale conflict.
Kerdic raises his eyebrow inquisitively at Tixi.
Tixi leans to her side, eyeing Kerdic up and down, "I assume you are the Lion I've heard about?" She raises an eyebrow, "Are you leading this campaign?"
Kerdic: “Leading? It is a conjoined effort between the native kaldorei here and Lord Grayblade. I am a commander, aiding where I can. But yes, I am he.”
Tixi: “Pleasure to meet you, Commander. I am Tixi Toxitorque. The Nation of Gnomeregan has surely sent its finest to you. I can do wonders on the field, and if your blades need a bit of toxicity, I am happy to oblige.”
Kerdic: “So be it, Miss Toxitorque. I will never turn down aid sent from the High Tinker's lands. The Horde have proved their aggressive nature here in Ashenvale, and I fear the idea of maintaining this... 'ceasefire' is but a fleeting dream that slips away from us with each passing day. They intend to press into Alliance lands for a supposed 'murderer' of their Highmountain emissary, after making impossible demands of the Alliance.”
“My own personal feelings aside, we will protect the Alliance's territory with every blade we can muster. I cannot help but see the convenient coincidence of the Horde's mustered army aligning with this emissary's supposed 'murder'.”
Tixi: “It does seem suspicious, does it not, Commander? See, in Gnomeregan we would have done an autopsy...I suppose that technology is not available in the barbaric lands of Durotar.” Tixi smirks slyly at Kerdic.
Kerdic: “Hardly, but nor would I waste a precious resource of Gnomeregan on a savage. The Horde has continuously violated the notion of peace since they stepped beyond the Dark Portal, and if we do not stop these marauders, they may threaten the Kaldorei lands in their entirety. Your aid is welcomed.”
Tixi unsheathes a dagger and spins it around with her wrist like a leek. "My aid is necessary, Commander. Though I do not see eye-to-eye with the Kingdom of Stormwind, I am always ready to help the Grand Alliance as a whole. We stick together, or we fall down. One. By one."
Kerdic: Of course, though the Grand Alliance will never fall so long as well-reasoned men and gnomes such as you stand ready to defend it.
Tixi: Heh. You got that right. The Kaldorei, though quite...contrasting to our gnomish values, have proven extraordinary allies since the Third War. I would be damned if I stood on the sidelines as their forest is razed.
Kerdic: Aye, that is why we are here. There are those within Stormwind who would still flirt with the notions of peace, but the further you find yourself outside of their high walls...
Kerdic sighs softly. “The reality of the Horde threat becomes ever more a reality.”
Tixi: Those walls will not hold forever...
