Not a fan of reading?

[ He can guess, but. ]

[sarkazm]

Not really! My old squad leader used to push it on me all the time, though. He'd probably disappear into a place like this for days.

[midway]

To no avail? Weren't you supposed to follow orders?

[sarkazm]

I mean, he made me learn how...

[but it wasn't too forced past that.]

[midway]

Mm. [ Interesting... ] What does your squad do, anyway?

[sarkazm]

Last I heard, they were opening up a shop...? I run my own these days. Usually, anyway.

[a brief pause.]

I've been a little busy helping out with the government lately.

[her? this one? who allowed THAT.]

[midway]

[ HUH? ]

With... what?

[sarkazm]

Speaker of the provisional government of Kazdel, established by Babel-- Wiš'adel! Not a bad title, right?

[midway]

Not bad at all.

So what does the Speaker speak about?

[sarkazm]

Whatever needs to get said. Hijacked the Regent's comms channels to get the message out for everyone to ditch his ass and come home, recorded some dumb speech Hoederer wrote...

[midway]

... And you don't get in trouble for it? How'd you get the job anyway?

[sarkazm]

It's fine. The Regent won't be alive much longer to get mad about it. Shouldn't have left home to go start his stupid war in the first place!

How else do you get a job with the government, besides helping establish it?

[midway]

[ WHAT ]

... What exactly is your goal, again? Are you just passionate about helping people?

[sarkazm]

Just bringing our people home. Making sure we still have one after Theresis decided he was taking on the entire world.

Our last King, she wanted to see that through, but since she's not there to do it... I'm just gonna need to take care of it in her place.

[a little pause.]

And see him end up in pieces. Can't forget that.

[midway]

[ ... ]

He expelled your people from their land?

[sarkazm]

He called them out with him to go fight his stupid war. We've always been kinda scattered, though.

[midway]

Why did they go with him though? Is he just that charismatic?

[sarkazm]

He had our King murdered. Who else was there to follow?

Besides, war's kind of our thing. It's not like it was unpopular.

[midway]

Is that your preference too? War?

[sarkazm]

It's what I'm good at, sure, but... not this one.

[midway]

Because of the "take over the world" energy?

[sarkazm]

Yeah. See, I kinda like it not completely wrecked?

[midway]

I'd figure that most people wouldn't, honestly.
