Disappointed?

[at_heart]

Two rooms, only one with anything we actually had to fight?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You don't think a giant fucking squid counts as something to fight?

[at_heart]

That's the thing that counts as something we actually 'had' to fight. We could've walked right by the... urn-things.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Unless they were waiting to get the drop on us. But I guess we'll never know now, huh?

[at_heart]

If they were, it wasn't all that hard to talk them out of it.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, still can't fucking believe that that worked.

[at_heart]

[ Chuckle. ]

Right there with you.

[ ...still has one in a fold of his cloak. Retrieves... it? ]

No offense to you, but I wouldn't have guessed you guys had... organs.

[ Much less brains specifically. ] [ It's probably a magic thing. ]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[what]

What did you think they had, then?

[at_heart]

Whatever slugs have. [ Shrug! ] That, or, like, nothing. Could've been animated sludge.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I'm pretty sure all those things have organs and shit. Except the sludge, maybe.

[at_heart]

[ ...you learn something every day! ]

Huh. Guess I owe an apology to slugs, too, then.

[ Beat. ]

Point is I really wasn't expecting 'em to be capable of understanding us, never mind reasoned with.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Maybe you just weren't charming enough for 'em to listen to.

[at_heart]

[ he rolled a 19 when he actually tried, so his +3 CHA was unnecessary ]

Hey, we've all got different skills.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

So what's yours? Killing chubby little bone creatures?

[at_heart]

[ Beat, studying that expression. Then, dryly, ]

Took me two hits, so I'd say no.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Awww. Give it time, I've sure you've got one somewhere.

[at_heart]

[ A not-unfriendly eye roll. ]

Oh, I'd hate to spoil the surprise for both of us.
