Truth - If you were to name one person - who would you be most inclined to trust?
"I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'trust.'
"If I'm looking for someone to help with my well-being, my answer is Kvar. He's very careful, and precise, professional and discreet.
"If I'm looking for an honest opinion, my answer is Magnius. He's blunt and direct, honest enough and you can tell when he's lying, and wouldn't bother with the formality of changing what he says to make it polite."
Truth - Have you ever participated in underground dragon racing?
"In order for me to have done that, there would have to be other people who can ride dragons. And I don’t mean that saddled-up, sitting down malarkey that you can only do after breaking their spirit."
Truth - Has someone every infiltrated your base and took one of your dragons for a joyride?
"Yes, my base has been infiltrated. NO, no one has taken any of my little darlings out for a 'joyride.' It would be considerably less than joyful for the intruder, because the dragons tend to eat people who they are not accustomed to, or feel bears hostile intent.
"I say eat, but they might not get around to that for a while. They quite enjoy playing with their food."
"Additionally, it takes an enormous amount of practice to be able to ride a dragon, and isn't something that could be accomplished on a one night spree."
Truth - Okay, but why haven't the Cardinals adopted the clothing yet? Were you unable to persuade them?
"Lord Yggdrasill, is this you?"
"It's not a matter of persuasion. If they take any issue with you orders, they are to report to Pronyma. I think perhaps the clothing is having trouble in the shipping process. It is a rather large order to place all at once, and you have to admit, it isn't the most desirable delivery address."
Truth - How old exactly are you????
"57-
"Wait, let me check the calendar."
"Wrong calendar. What year is it?"
Truth - Do you have any regrets? If so, what are they?
"That's a heavy question. I try to have as few as possible. After all, I'm still alive, aren't I?"I suppose if I were to list notable lessons, without the related incidents, it would be something like this:
Just because you've known someone a long time does not mean you know them. People change, and sometimes they're rotten to begin with.
Travel early. The road is only made harder when you're forced onto it instead of going voluntarily.
Stay mobile.
Taking risks is fine, good even, but watch which ones you take around people who hate you.
Keep a close eye on and a safe distance from people who hate you.
Just because a skill has not developed, doesn't mean the talent isn't there.
Inspect the trampoline yourself.
"Those, I think, are the really important ones. Listing the little ones could take much longer."
