You keep your word, at least. Of course, it isn't as if I had doubted you for a moment- but alas, here we are, just as you had promised.

And you've all my support, just as I had promised.

Onward, m'lady. To whatever end.

[ and that sounds a bit stranger, so the brow quirks higher ] Not lookin' to scar any on-looking poor childrens' minds?

[ he gives a mock-humble kind of shrug. he knows his brilliance ] I find an ample downing of mead will generally either cover it or make one forget it's there.

[reiks]

[ Ah, so much fun being a tease. Hal just laughs. ] Indeed. It wouldn't be proper.

And I must say, that's quite unfortunate. You must wake up smelling even worse.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ welp ] Then lucky for you, doesn't seem like another soul's around here for be offended and I've very little interest in proper.

That depends on where the mead had be pass out the night before.

[reiks]

I believe, stranger, that if you choose to see the wide variety of skills I have with my well practiced spine, you should at least ask nicely.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ a soft chuckle ] Would a 'pretty pretty please' suffice or should I be down on one knee?

[reiks]

It wouldn't hurt.

Though-- [ a heavy sigh, ] I suppose I can take pity on you this one time.

[thorforgottoshower]

Most gracious of you, my good man. I'll stick to my 'pretty pretty please', then and save myself the knee pain.

[reiks]

Wouldn't want to trouble your poor knees, of course. [ handwaving, the guy doesn't look old enough for knee problems- but if he is then Hal can tease him about it later. ]

Though I still believe there's a better environment for such a display.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ he's not, he's just complaining for the sake of complaining. ]

Very well, keep your propriety. I'll be around should you happen upon that better environment you're looking for.

[reiks]

I will keep my eye out for you, then. Perhaps even both of them.

[ Absence does make the heart grow fonder, after all. ]

[thorforgottoshower]

Most kind of you,... You know it may be better for the look out should names actually be exchanged.

[reiks]

And it is common courtesy to introduce one's self first, before asking the name of others.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ He considers for a moment, with a smirk. ] I'm called Huntsman. [ His actual name he really only gives to those close to him, and Hal he's only just met ] And yourself?

[reiks]

Huntsman? [ Odd name for a mother to give their child, but ah. Maybe she could see into the future, saw his chosen career and just went with it.

Ah well. Hal offers his hand. ] Well then, pleasure to meet you, sir Huntsman. I am Harry, friend Hal if you prefer.

[thorforgottoshower]

Aye, Huntsman. [ He gives a smirk, knowing he's weird just for going by that, but Hal takes it, so he's satisfied. ] Fine to meet you then, friend Hal.

[reiks]

[ It's alright, Hal's heard stranger names from stranger people. ] Your mother must have been gifted with foresight, to see exactly what sort of man you would one day become and named you accordingly.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ A quiet chuckle ] Well she didn't name me Drunken Bastard so along with foresight she must have held an ounce of kindness.

[reiks]

She must have been a wonderful woman. [ Using past tense, since the huntsman is doing the same, which is kind of sad. ]

[thorforgottoshower]

She was. [ He nods for a moment, a weak kind of half-smile on his lips, but it passes quickly ] Fiend of a woman if you wish some peace or wanted to sleep in any day, though.

[reiks]

[ Aw :c have a hand on your shoulder, friend. ] As mothers are prone to be, the world over.

[thorforgottoshower]

[ Awkward, what is comfort. He just looks sort of uneasy for a moment before shrugging and pulling a flask from inside his vest. ] Cursed things. Necessary as they are.

[reiks]

[ Duly noted. Uncomfortable subject, no touchie. But :< surely mama was a nice lady. Then again, Hal is naive and believes most mamas are nice ladies. ] I'm sure she cared for you very much.

[thorforgottoshower]

Sure. Doesn't make her any less a witch. [ Look at all the respect Huntsman has for the dead, doop dee doo. ] The woman hit with a dish towel. Have you ever been slapped with a wet dish towel? [ It hurts okay ]

[reiks]

[ ...


...

brb laughing behind his hand. ]

[thorforgottoshower]

[ A smile touches his lips and he lets out a short laugh ] See obviously you haven't because you wouldn't be laughing.
