[ Well, that would explain Aventurine. He's new money. ]

Speaking from experience?

[undread]

Not personal experience, but I've known a few. There is a fellow who has traveled with us for a while. Not a penny to his name, but he always dresses so fancy, and always acts as though he belongs anywhere he wishes to go. That's how I could tell.

[tactic]

Sounds like a fun guy.

[ Aventurine would get along with him. ]

You're part of a traveling group, then?

[undread]

He's alright.

[a little dismissive. but she nods.]

We're a little group that does odd jobs and the like.

[tactic]

Sounds fun. And none of them followed you here?

[undread]

[...]

No. Did not have the luck some of our number had.

[tactic]

A shame. Though you'll have plenty of opportunities to make new friends here.

[ BECAUSE WHAT ELSE ARE THEY GONNA DO ]

[aww. she twists her hair in her hand a bit.]

...I hope so. I've never found it very easy.

[tactic]

Really? I've enjoyed our conversation.

[oh.... she tugs on her hair shyly but gives a big creepy smile.]

It has been nice to talk to you, too. Some people find me a little off-putting, if you can believe it.

[tactic]

[ SMILES BACK any creepiness slides right off of him ]

Well, some people are like that. It says more about their character than you.

[undread]

I think so as well. But whatever their character, it's not uncommon.

[tactic]

... Then I hope you get a different experience here.
