The one good thing about being surrounded by kind people is that they are all damn good cooks.
Chuckling to himself Mal grabs another cookie of the platter.
Those two kings may be annoying as all hell, especially when that other one tries, in vain, to get you to stop wrecking whole planets whole, but that they always have cookies and tea ready is really the only reason Mal tolerates them. Even the crueler one is just obnoxious with his talks about duty, and he won’t even share any good stories of slaughtering people! He must have killed thousands, but will he share those delightful screams.
The cookie is quickly bitten in half and crumbling. Uncooperative people are soooo annoying… Though they so also prize children as much as he, so that’s one thing they can talk about. The cute sweet, pure faces of young children… even if they are child murderers.
He was oblivious to the short goblin that came in, decked out in her heavy armour. Much more interested in enjoying the tea and cookies the lounge room is always stocked with.
Pet’s are stupid. A waste of time, space, and energy. She can appreciate the fact that some people find comfort and companionship in them, although she is much happier with her temporary summons, she is never going to have an actual pet of her own; It would just be a drain on resources.
She was not expecting her opinion to change because her boss has a couple cats.
The Commander ignored them to start. Stepping around the three fluff balls that either hangs out at Traherne’s workstation or bed. After learning that they were, in fact, his she was mildly surprised, but she didn’t really question it. He did seem like the kind of person to have them.
And then they just… grew on her. From tiny scratched behind their ears to appease them, or hushed affectionate coos, until, eventually, she would pick them up and plot them on her lap, unconsciously petting them while she worked. It was slow, so she never actually noticed that they were starting to mean something. But by the end she was definitely someone, who at the very least might consider having pets.
I’m doing a couple here! (Fyi the names are links.)
Inela-
23: Whats your OCs biggest secret?
"If I tell you then it wouldn't be a secret."
-nice question dodging. Her fascination with the elder dragons, a fascination that actively combats her desire to destroy them- she'd much rather study them even in light of all the innocent lives they've taken and ruined.
Basically internally she'd rather study the elder dragons then save millions of people threatened by them. She won't act or ever even imply it.-
33: Are your OCs parents dead?
"My parents are very much alive. I can't say what they are up too, but at the very least I do know they are alive and well."
34: Is your OC religious?
"Yes, I do believe in the Eternal Alchemy."
39: Who is your OCs biggest enemy?"I shall assume you mean other than the Elder Dragons and every force associated with them." She thinks for a moment, a clawed finger tapping her chin.
"I would have to say Varkk ." Her face immediately scowls at the mention of his name.
42: Does your OC drink coffee or tea?
"Coffee please... though I won't turn down tea if that's all that's available. Serving in an army does make you less picky about what you consume. Especially if said army is based in a rotten land."
Alue-
23: Whats your OCs biggest secret?
"Secrets? No I can't say I have a secret, I'm very transparent."
-Alue that was a straight-faced lie and you know it. Simply put, it’s his temper. He has done some... horrible things when pushed to the snapping point. Although he denies it, and I don’t think he really remembers those incidents very well.-
33: Are your OCs parents dead?
"Well of course they are! I'm thousands of years old and they were humans. They died along time ago." He didn't seem saddened at all by the fact that his folks were gone, just a bit surprised.
34: Is your OC religious?
"I... wouldn't say I am." He thinks for a few moments, before shaking his head.
"I have been alive so long, dare I say I've become a god of sorts in my own right- and I've never had any contact with any creator or such Devine entities. Not to say I haven't met 'gods' in a different scenes, more akin to myself. Just not some all powerful, all knowing being. And I don't worship any of the beings I do meet."
39: Who is your OCs biggest enemy?
"Enemies!? I dare say I do not have such a thing. Now people may dislike me but I would never partake in such a realationship."
-he really does stray away from hating people. And when he does do so it's never something permanent and he quickly lets it go.-42: Does your OC drink coffee or tea?
"I would prefer a cup of tea to a cup of coffee. But there are 'coffee' drinks I do enjoy greatly."
Narrator-
23: Whats your OCs biggest secret?
"That I shall never enlighten you about."
-his crazed murder spree a couple generations ago-
33: Are your OCs parents dead?
"No."
34: Is your OC religious?
"Again no. However, I have pretended to be so for disguise."
39: Who is your OCs biggest enemy?
"Ahem. I would say no one, however, I do know a man who hates me very dearly and, should you ask him this question, would say that I am his enemy. His name is Stanley."42: Does your OC drink coffee or tea?
"I would take a cup of tea to a cup of coffee any day."
