Give at least (one) unpopular opinion on something?

“All the famous bards are overrated? Festivals are stupid? Most of the time its okay to steal from people, as long as they’re really annoying and really dumb.” 

How well do you communicate with others?

“Amazingly. I’m a fantastic communicator.”

KATERINA OF LODORWIND

A scholar of the The Volscian Conservatory in Lodorwind. Katerina was plagued with the burden of never realising she was the smartest person in any room. A kind girl, with gentle hands. For several months she apprenticed under the healers looking after Cassian, and for several months she made him wonder if he should have tried to be a better man while he could. He isn’t sure why, but even after her short apprenticeship was over, she still came to see him. His one visitor. His one friend in the world stationary enough to see him. Katerina was the one who infected him with his new, silly little ideas about morality. 

“There are never any lost causes,” she would say, despite the fact that his blood wouldn’t stop running out of a new damned papercut. “Redemption can be found even in the unlikeliest of places,” She would say, despite the fact that he had done more bad in his life than she could count. “Righting a wrong sometimes sooths the soul, even if you don’t manage to earn forgiveness at the end.” She said, and it gave him the idea, sparked a vicious longing in him to see the Gambit and fix whatever he had done to cause them pain in the past, to savor the friendships he still had with them.

kenku: how well do you communicate with others? 

“i’d like to say well enough, but i know myself. i tend to bottle what i believe is unnecessary for others to know, what i consider trivial. and they’d argue the very opposite, on most occasions. so. maybe not as well i should.”

goliath: talk about the most dangerous experience you’ve ever had.

“considering what i do for a living, i’d wager that’s sort of an everyday thing. that said, my first dragon hunt could not have gone worse for me. .. i lost a lot that day.”

Have you ever lashed out to protect yourself?

“You know. I’m not sure I ever needed to. Whoever took my parents from me apparently drew the line at murdering a child –– and the temple mothers would never have let any harm come to us. These days, its other people who have to worry about protecting themselves from me.” 

Talk about the most dangerous experience you’ve ever had.

“You haven’t seen danger until you’ve tried to pull Tatsuo away from something shiny. Ha. But, no, probably the cave full of licthes, actualy.”

SIR HAINSLEY FENRICK

Quite a famous bard across the fade, an up and comer who boasts a summer of training within the Feywilds –– quite the exotic local for a human man such as him. Certain bards The Gambit may have come across in their tavels (Calliope, at length) have commented: “Oh, he is the most contemptible man in all the lands. A fool. A trickster. A foul beast. And he plays the harp as if he has the fingers of a clumsy child. If you never encounter such a man as that, you should count yourself very lucky indeed.”

TYA VARMA

The gentle flush of first love came early for them. Watching Tya fumble with his sword, watching Tya drip blood on the floors of the temple, waching Tya wipe away frustrated tears and realising that they could inspire the most blinding smiles in that man. It was never the most passionate love in the world, but it was something gentle and true that blossomed into a lifelong friendship. Adrik feels warmth in their heart, knowing that Tya is there at the Bloodstone Temple to take care of the young wards that come into their care.
