Kjell (half-elf barbarian): Did I ever tell you how I joined TTC?
Seraph (siren sorcerer): No, I don’t think so.
Kjell: I was walking one day – to or from Holden, I don’t remember – and I saw these horrible creatures in the middle of the road.
Seraph: *wan smile* Travelling Trauma Centre?
Kjell: *laughs* No, but they were fighting TTC. And I asked “What the fuck are those?” and Hanako yelled, “I don’t know, kill them!” and... I never left, I guess. We’ve had so many adventures. I still miss Erlathan.
Seraph: He owned your shop, right?
Kjell: Yeah. He was so kind. I hope he’s at peace now.
Seraph: He was involved with the Oasis of Riddles, right?
Kjell: Yeah.
Seraph: I believe he's at peace.
Kjell: I hope so. Oh, I’ve been meaning to mention. Don’t bring up the cult stuff around Damaris, okay?
Seraph: Okay?
Kjell: She’s had… a lot of shit. Just, don’t.
Seraph: Thank you for telling me.
Kjell: No problem. God, I’ve put my foot in my mouth far too many times with that woman.
Seraph: I didn’t know you knew her that well.
Kjell: I don’t. It’s complicated. I... once killed someone she knew. In front of her. Really violently.
Seraph: For the right reasons, right?
Kjell: I think so. I hope so. He was going to turn us in to Therak. I hunted him through the woods and hacked him to pieces.
Seraph: Oh.
Kjell: Sometimes when I get that angry, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing anymore.
Seraph: I believe you were. I’ve never seen you do anything but try to help people. You’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
Kjell: Thanks, ‘Raph. Right now I just have to focus on this J thing.
Seraph: Once we fix that, we can fix everything else.
Kjell: What do you want to fix? If you could fix any one thing, what would it be?
Seraph: *thinks* The way I lived before I met you was terrible.
Kjell: Yeah, nobody should live like that.
Seraph: The witch hunters killed hundreds of people here in Suda, and now there are going to be a lot of kids left in the same kind of position I was in. That’s not right. I want to fix that.
Kjell: *genuinely moved* Wow. You’ll be like Suda’s mother.
Seraph: That is a horrible thought.
Kjell: C'mere. *hugs*
