My dear little mundane, as much as I appreciate and understand your good intentions in allowing some of the lesser races the chance to meet true aristocracy, I must decline.

[He casually inspects his nails, preening them throughout the conversation.]

I have far more pressing matters to deal with, a Magister's work is never done. [Somebody's got to make all that sparkly crap in Silvermoon float around uselessly and it's sure not going to be a hunter.] And I will be frank with you, that morbid dank hole in the ground is hardly compelling in comparison with the grandeur of Silvermoon. If I wanted to play in a pit with undead I would go to Undercity.

Might I recommend the Paladin go in my stead? Of course, he is hardly as qualified as myself, but he is always looking for some sort of charity work isn't he? I'm sure he will jump at the chance.

[Two can play the nail-inspection-through-sheer-boredom game.]

If you can't handle it, then perhaps it's for the best if your mundane does send someone else. After all, it's no place for the... less able, shall we say?

[gotthepatch]

[Oh honey, he hasn't even introduced himself and it's already so on.]

Oh now, now, little one. Sending in an elite mage would make things too easy for all of you children frolicking about in the mud. I was under the impression that you're all down there to learn something. Perhaps humility.

[Because he's clearly the poster child for humility.]

[realitywarped]

[Children, is it? Someone clearly hasn't learnt that appearance isn't everything.]

Perhaps an elite mage, yes. But as I'm already there and life has yet to become easy, I'm afraid I can't see you making much of a difference.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Humility? Why would I ever need to learn that? That's very much a mortal concept, after all.

[gotthepatch]

Truly? How curious it is that you cannot simply teleport out of that pit and return home as an elite mage would.

[He flippantly tosses his hair over his shoulder.]

I supposed learning must be lost on you then, isn't it?

[underthehoodie]

It's cute how you think you have a choice in any of this. Tch, if anything that means it's all the more reason to make you go there.

[gotthepatch]

Don't be ridiculous, of course I have a choice in this.

[Did you not hear the part where he's a a mage? Everyone listens to mages.]

[underthehoodie]

No you doooon't. You're awfully full of yourself, aren't you?

[gotthepatch]

Hardly so, I am simply aware of my status in regards to the other, less civilized races.

[so in short: Yes. He is very full of himself.]

[underthehoodie]

Listen, handsome, you shouldn't look down your nose at people all the time. You never know when you'll need the help of those 'less civilized races' and you aren't gonna win any friends acting that way.

[gotthepatch]

[oooh lookit that, his nails have suddenly become highly entertaining again.]

You mistake my privilege as a mage for my willingness to cooperate. I assure you my good woman, I am more than willing to lend my services accordingly for the sake of an alliance. I simply fear that I would hardly need any aide in return and thus it would be an unfair exchange.

[underthehoodie]

You mean you'll help people out while acting uppity?

Y'know what, Magic boy, they'll just have to take it. There has to be worse than you in there.

[gotthepatch]

What do you mean by "uppity"?

[Here he was thinking he was the poster-boy for being polite.]

And what do you mean by "worse than me"?

[underthehoodie]

Uppity, you know, nose in the air, full of yourself.

[She's waving her hand with each word, a smirk on her face.]

C'mon, you have to know what ONE of those means Mage Boy.

[gotthepatch]

Well I was merely trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but apparently my good will gets thrown back into my face.

[Ugh, the NERVE of some people. How dare they talk to someone of his status in such a way! It was almost as bad as the time that wretched little Pandaren brat asked if he was part moth.]

This is exactly why I prefer being among my own people.

[underthehoodie]

Me? The benefit of the doubt? [She chuckles.] Thanks for the effort but don't bother. Come on, lighten up a little. You can't look down on everybody all the time.

[gotthepatch]

[You had better thank him for that effort, missy. It was so hard he almost broke a sweat.]

I don't look down on everybody, only those that have little reason for me to regard highly.

[which is just about everyone.]

[underthehoodie]

[Talking to the wrong person for that.]

Which iiiiiiiiis....? What, most of the people you meet?

[realitywarped]

Well, it's not like you could ever prove me wrong if you're not willing to take the risk, is it?

[He lets a tiny note of victory creep into his tone.]

Why would it be? There's still a number of things I have yet to learn. It's just that the things I do know are vastly greater than they would be for most humans.
