If this is actually a storybook bear, I'm a monkey. Apparently he is holding on to all our items for us so we cannot get an unfair advantage towards graduation.
[Caleb out here confirming evolution exists in Exandria.]
For the record, you can get a discount on voucher order if you get it through the right Dorm Head. Chad said I could get swords for maybe five vouchers each. Someone else might charge nine.
Good to know. [. . .] I want my fucking books returned to me, but it would probably be more useful to ask for some cantrips. Luke told me at least five vouchers minimum for a little magic, if not more.
And if it doesn't take, easy to try again. [. . .] You know, I'd lend you vouchers to get the sword. More useful if there's a fight for you to have one than for me to have some weak little cantrip.
Ja, sure. Well, you give me the vouchers back down the line and I get magic. Let's just get something quickly so it isn't all on Beauregard if something happens.
Quite the opposite, actually. Think it's about the most impossible question in the world. Ideal for who? You? Me? Everyone else? Am I just going to want something different when I've reached this so-called ideal world?
Who's to say my world isn't ideal right now? It isn't like I'm unhappy. Well-- Perhaps that's going a little far. My world's a bit shit at the moment. But on the whole, well. It's not so terrible. Enough gold to get by. Decent enough company.
[Hearing him lay this all out just makes him feel a little bit impossibly sad. For how alien this contentment sounds to him and for the fact that it was squandered; that someone left him dead in a road and he doesn't even know it. But - ]
[Or it's just a portrait of an unambitious drifter with the occasional kind impulse. A con artist, a flim-flam man, but not the worst. Coming from a foggy haze, going nowhere.]
Maybe an overstatement too. Suppose everything's alright at the moment. I'm getting in my head, I think.
I, uhm. . . I hadn't spent very much time in the company of other people in a very long time. Other than Nott, but even then. . . it took a little while to remember how.

Maybe I save up for a little something instead. A little more surprising than just a sword to suddenly be blind.

I-- Maybe? Let's see how free they are with these things. Ideally we can get you something better than a cantrip, too, right?
[He tilts his head.]
If I pay for the-- thing that turns my blood to ice, suppose I wouldn't even need a real sword. You know the one of mine is just made of glass.

Sure.

You do your tasks, then? Your extra credit?

Probably not.
