(continued from previous ask)

So... do you intend to defeat her and the queen once more? Or would you do things differently now, since Sal'thorin got looped back in time if I remember correctly!

"Well, Anon, if I can find her she will face the consequences of her actions. I would have to defeat her again. She is not the type to listen to reason when it threatens her power and control. We've seen what she will do to keep it..."

"As for the time loop itself... It appears that it has resolved itself after the disappearance of Seralyth. However, it's consequences remain, there's still some tension and resistance against returning to Misarte and rejoining the surface world. It should pass with time and learning,"

"For now, my priorities are to protect Sal'Thorin from immediate threats and oversee the city's defenses. If I find anything, I will follow it,"

[captain-indris]

Indris , Take it easy on your duty , okay ? Don't do anything stubborn.

- Magister Ayesha

"Stubborn? I won't Magister Ayesha, do not worry,"

[captain-indris]

...Yeah, honestly I get why you feel that way. That's why you can't let racist nobles like her get away with running Seralyth's corrupt regime in Sal'thorin anymore.

"Of course I can't. It'd be a dereliction of my duty to let such corruption continue."

[captain-indris]

...Respectfully, how did it actually feel when you received a stigma of judgement from Velara back then? Did you realise then that she had already betrayed your trust and admiration?

"It...hurt. To say the least..."

"I had suspicions, I knew that one day I may have to face being branded for a mistake, much like most other lowborn essail but the reality of it actually happening, certainly felt like betrayal,"

Azurella made her way through the city, “Indris! Hey, brought you food that I made myself. Don’t worry I made sure it can’t hurt you if you take a bite of it.” She offers him some Fish and Mushroom rice. The rice was brought from the Lightbearers from topside, but the fish and the mushroom were from the forests. Azurella made sure the mushrooms were safe to eat.

She paused, “So… I need to ask you something. Do you know the guy in the mask? Who is he, is he friendly, can I be friends with them? You seem to have a really good relationship with him. I am asking you because I am nervous he’s gonna bite my head off...”

(Indris greets Azurella with a curt wave)

"Hello again...That's very kind of you,"

(He tries the rice dish and there's the raise of an eyebrow. That's an interesting texture, perhaps one to try again later.)

"Hah...No need to be nervous. The Imperator won't bite your head off, he might, however, drag you into something in order to escape from working..."

"We have a good relationship...?"

"Nevermind. Do you wish for me to introduce you?"

[captain-indris]

Captain Indris! Since you can't sing...can you or anyone from Sal'thorin rap?

(from a curious anon)

"Anon, would you please explain what 'rap' is? Is it something from the surface?"

[captain-indris]

A familiar-looking plushie scurries out of the bushes and stops in front of Indris. It seems to be on high alert.

Mini-Indris: !!

"What? Where did you come from?"

(And you're a miniature replica of myself?)

"Hm. Maybe Merlin will know. You can stay with me for now,"

(Indris crouches down to the plushies level, extending a hand for it to crawl on)

Azurella (@wrenthemoralfander) enters Sal’Thorin with a box that has a wind up in the back. She sets it down, and sighs. “Gotta give this gift to Indris.” She picks it back up, makes her way through Sal’Thorin, accidentally tripping. The box falls to the floor and a few gears fall out. Great, it broke. That’s ok, she can fix it. She stands up and fixes it with magic, before making sure it worked right. It did.

“Ow. I’m okay, just gotta get to Indris. I mean he’s like one of the coolest people in this place… will he like this? I made him a music box by hand. Had some of the dwarves teach me how. Ok, okay, don’t stress over it, just give it to him.”

She finally finds Indris, and smiles. “Indris!” She gently pulled out the music box, “I have a gift for you. It’s a music box. I made it, with a lot of help from the Dwarves in Brimstone Village.” She gestures to the handle in the back. Ever since she met him, Azurella looked up to Indris sort of like a…like a little kid, excited to show their older sibling something cool they made them.

((Ooc disclaimer: look, I am new to RP and I don’t fully understand it yet. I hope I did this right please let me know if I didn’t. Indris is one of the coolest characters in the game in my personal opinion and you do a fabulous job writing for him.))

(The Captain is busy filing away paperwork and scanning over some reports. He turns around at the sound of his name.)

"Hm? A...Dwarven Music Box..."

(He takes the box in his hands and gently admires Azurellas handiwork)

"Thank you, you've done a fine job crafting this, Miss,"

(He winds the handle and lets the music box play its tune for them)
