I've known the Lizard Clan a lot longer than you have. [whippersnapper!] If nothing else, they respect the Fire Bringer and the agreements we've always had. I believe Dupa wouldn't make a move on a True Rune unless they had the Flame Champion's express permission.

[which still isn't a guarantee, for one Hugo might not be ready to start giving orders like that, for another they might consider True Wind a gift to the Flame Champion, but the Lizards are fighters, not mages. They'll err on the side of not messing around with runes if they don't have to.]

If I expected any of the scenarios to be more likely than Harmonia trying to get their hands on it, you would be right. There's no predicting one person's sudden attack of ambition, no matter which country that person is from. [giving him a sly look over the rim of his tankard] But you and I are both in the business of calculating risks. It's impossible to predict every outcome so w can only throw our greatest weight behind the most likely ones.

That said, I know Lizards. I know Karayans. There's a new Council in Vinay. [as yet untested, true, but...] The big picture isn't going to be as threatened by a rogue factor among them compared to a threat from outside.

That's a matter of perspective.

[he may not be a native Grasslander but he's as good as, after nearly eighty years of this. Come traipse on his protected land at your own risk, Harmonia]

[do it, he would be the first to dare you]

That's more true than you know, Nash. But I've also had a very long time to let certain feelings...mmm, fester isn't the right word. I'm not sure how to explain it.

[yeah he figured as much. birds of a feather.]

Both are more like it. Too much time and even grudges can wane. Some, not all.

[his gloved fingers curl around the top of his mug but for now, Geddoe leaves it on the table. Sometimes you just need to know the drink is there.]

Have you? That's more than most would.

[even if the destruction of his birthplace was a factor motivating him to wage his little private war against Harmonia originally, he doesn't still consider it even slightly important. But everything done in the Fire Bringer War, yep, that's still a hard knot of resentment somewhere deep inside.]

What made you give up trying?

Fair point. [slow nod] I was going on the past tense, there.

It's not as though I expect anyone who's never held a Rune to understand. Some things you just can't explain no matter how many words you have to make the attempt.

[NASH...

...no, it's fair. Probably closer to the truth than not.

Just because I don't blather on like a bishop doesn't mean I couldn't if I wanted to.

They never did let me give the motivational speeches before battles.

[snort. there might have been]

My fellow Fire Bringer. Wyatt always said it was because there was only one Flame Champion and not a Lightning Champion.

[the twist of his lips before he takes a sip of his ale suggests he's aware of this hypothetical reason.]

[sure, he could, but would you interrupt your best friend in the middle of an epic speech to inspire the troops to victory, Nash? Geddoe sniffs and brushes it off]

I'll remember that if you start running your mouth.

[unintentional, but he'll roll with it]

There's always an off chance it could be highly entertaining to me. Such as, if you try to talk your way into Alma Kinan and end up just digging your own grave.

[that is the perfect opening to needle him about his marriage, what fun]

Do you know how hard it is to believe that some poor woman has decided to put up with you? She must be a saint, longsuffering and delightfully world-weary.
