[crymoore]

Is that all you have to say?

[ofthedarkspear]

Watchu want me ta say, Proudmoore? It be ovah.

[crymoore]

It isn't over until Garrosh has... [ Cutting herself short with a disgusted growl. ]

Your Horde you have assumed control of will pay for the crimes wrought by their former leader.

[ofthedarkspear]

We be payin' already, lady. My people's blood be stainin' de sands of Durotar. The elfs be rottin' in yah Hold or dead on de streets. Thousands of de Horde an' de Alliance lie in Pandaria grounds.

Ya gonna suffah if dat blood ain't enough for ya. Gonna be no more ta spill, and den where ya gonna turn?

We all be bleedin', Proudmoore.

[dividedloyalties]

I'll stand with you, if you want me, Warchief. We've all had enough of the Old Horde.

[ofthedarkspear]

Den it be time for a change we can be proud of. Too long we been animals without a voice.

[dividedloyalties]

What will become of those who followed Hellscream - if they still live?

[ofthedarkspear]

De ones dat lay down dey weapons be in chains. De rest were cut down by de Horde and Alliance alike. We still be speakin' about wat ta do with dem.

[He rolls back a shoulder, the long ears twitching.]

Some be followin' outta fright, oddah out of loyalty. Be tinkin' dey gonna stand trial as well.

[greyhart]

[Did we decide on a new Warchief? This merc hasn't noticed. She's got a squealing undead's skull pinned under her enormous hoof in an argument about who gets first pick of the material spoils.

Or maybe she has; she stops long enough to curtsey if he looks over.]

[ofthedarkspear]

[...don't pop that undead's skull in the throne room, missy. It's being sanded to get rid of Varian's floor-stabbing already.]

Whatchu want?

[flickerember]

[There's a long silence while Meinal peers over in Vol'jin's direction. Thinking. Then, finally, she dips into a brief little curtsey. Gotta show some respect even for your enemies.]

Hail and well-met, Warchief.

[ofthedarkspear]

[He peers at her, furrowing his brows.]

Hail. Whatcha business with de Horde, human?

[flickerember]

No business. I just wanted to see if what the veteran soldiers were saying is true. About there being a new leader.

[At least it's the kinda-sorta-sensible Horde leader in charge now.] I don't mean any trouble. I just want to say best of luck to you in your new role.

[thewhitepawn]

It's a beginning.

[ofthedarkspear]

Now dat be a truth. Nothin' ovah yet. Dere be many wrongs ta be righted.

[thewhitepawn]

And I'm certain that you will be able to do so.

[graveyarddancer]

And now. Now t'ings be gettin' interestin in a different way.

[ofthedarkspear]

Ain't dat de truth, little sistah.

[He is weary, but there's much to do.]

Nevah again will we be slaves, prisonahs on our own land. From dis day on, de Horde be equals in all.

[graveyarddancer]

Truer words ain't nevah been spoken before, bruddah! Its gonna be done right dis time.

[wolfhearted]

[ and you thought he was gonna swing on you.

but characterization has marched onward, and Varian is... not gentler, no, but wiser. more level-headed. he has said his piece and the agreement they've come to, while not entirely satisfying, is as close to justice as is possible in this bloody mess. ]

The Alliance will be given time to gather our wounded and our fallen?

[ it's as much a question as it is a demand; he's trying, okay. ]

[ofthedarkspear]

[He's surprised, really, about the change of events. Not only his own promotion, but the actions of the human king as well. Enemies still, perhaps, but equals. That was why he's not rising to his full height, only straightening a bit to look the king in the eyes.]

Dis war wasn't gonna be won with de forces of de revolution alone. Ya heroes came ta fight for dis. Dey be our heroes as well.

Gaddah ya fallen and ya wounded without fear. Dey deserve dis right without question. Anyone who desecrates dis right will be punished.

[wolfhearted]

[ it's why Shalamayne was struck into the ground instead of brought close enough to strike.

there's something disarming about the troll; the bile that boils up in him whenever orcs are involved in anything doesn't exist with trolls. Vol'jin is an oddity, bearing none of Thrall's mistakes or Garrosh's entire existence.

it disarms Varian in a way. he gives a nod.

also height don't matter he's punched out dragons. honey varian don't give a fuck. ]

Then I thank you, warchief.

[ ... wait what ]

[sunstormed]

This is most excellent news indeed.

[ofthedarkspear]

Ambassadah.

[He nods.]

Now de true Horde be revived once more.

[sunstormed]

If I may assist somehow, Warchief, please let me know. I'm looking forward to coming out of retirement.
