Only most of the time. By the way, do let me know if you see a sword or two around anywhere?
[The hint hint to explain . . . does not seem to work. He simply flips another card. This time, a wagon travels along a road. In the distance a cottage sits upon a hill, though somehow, it’s difficult to tell if the wagon is moving towards it or away.]
My end of the... Oh, that's right! I almost forgot. [She pulls out her phone.] Let's see, let's see. You're two years old, which seems ridiculous! You're five feet and ten inches tall, you weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, your sign is Scorpio...? I'm not sure what that means. But, hm, your extraordinary skills are as follows! Dual wielding, mocking things to death, speaking in tongues, dying, finding the party, freaky blood magic, having too many eyes, sword-spinning, undying...
[A beat, before she just decides to just skip over the dick one.]
And fortune telling! And you have oracle cards in your inventory, which we both already knew.
Apparently it's some kind of sign? But a sign of what, I wonder...
[She briefly thinks about how that wasn't part of the deal, but she also loves talking about herself, so:]
Let's see... [Scrolling, scrolling. As if she doesn't have it memorized.] I'm over three hundred years old, I'm five feet and five inches tall. It doesn't list a weight, which is good! I can't believe they would think of doing that to a lady. But it does say I'm thin, which is true! Sagittarius for the sign thing, and as for skills... Hand to hand combat, swordplay, strength, agility, grace, control of shinsu, and acting like I'm better than you! Ah, general you. But I don't really have to act. And I have my needle for inventory!
It's more like everyone else looks much too old for their listed ages...
[She's surrounded by infants. Anyways, she's pausing, looking surprised again.]
Really? You don't know? [math lady meme] I thought at least that would be constant between places. It's... Well, it's the core of all energy. [Magic, basically.] You can use it to reinforce your body and become stronger, or externalize it as a kind of weapon. Fire, water, light... That kind of thing.
You have a good eye! You're right. I can use it if I ever absolutely need to, but it's not my specialty. That's a wave controller's job. [Translation: magician.] But I'm a fisherman! My job is to be at the center of the battle, taking out as many enemies as I can. Far range combat doesn't really suit me.
Fisherman! Oh, in that case, I suppose I fill a similar role. I do like Fisherman, maybe I’ll start to use it. Or maybe bait. Being far away leaves you with so few options to stab something.

[The smile tightens, just a bit.]
Some explosives may have been tossed about.

[She takes a moment to decide whether to press even though he's clearly uncomfortable, because she's curious, but in the end she shrugs.]
I see. Well, not really, but...

A journey then.

[A little bit playful, before she looks down at the card.]
That one's self explanatory, then? Where do you think you'll go?
no subject
[Tapping the card, then picking it up to look at it.]
That, I think, is exactly the question isn’t it?
no subject
[She doesn't sound too concerned either way.]
Well, I'm sure you'll tell me the answer.
no subject
[With a sword?]
You’ve been getting a lot of answers from me without holding up your end of the bargain. Just pointing it out.

I have no idea what a Scorpio is either.
[Hm.]
What about yours?

[That’s a pretty normal age, actually, it just means she isn’t human. Or tiefling. Mystery! It’s probably fine.]
What “shinsu”?

Ah - so, magic. Simple enough. So you’re . . . a wizard? No, you don’t seem the type. Something else then.

It's much more exciting to be closer to whoever you're facing.
