text; un: varian wrynn

[shalamayne]

these things are slower to write with than quill and parchment. making things easy here is not an option it would seem. these letters are too small even to press upon.

i will be going to the wall and climbing one of the towers there to survey the landscape beyond. anyone who wishes to come with will be welcome. if this place thinks for one moment that i shall sit around and rest on my laurels as my city and world are in danger then they can think again. i will make that earlier meeting look tame should i get my hands on those responsible for holding us here.

the wall expedition shall start at midday and i will not be waiting pAST THAT SO SHOW UP OR DON'T, I SHALL NOT BE CONCERNED.

NOW THEY'RE LARGE LETTERS. CURSE THIS THING.

Shall I accompany you? In case you need an extra pair of hands. Or an arcane missile or three.

[shalamayne]

OF COURSE, YOUR EXPERTISE IS ALWAYS WELCOME ARCHMAGE.

[4896apexiscrystals]

[ he's so glad this is text. Cause he's laughing at the mental voice he has of Varian yelling. And yelling at the mirror thing that he's barely gotten a sense for. ]

I will venture to make sure you don't hit the ground from a misstep. No need for a concussion when we don't have a healer....

[shalamayne]

[ excuse you he is not yelling at the mirror. yet. there's still time.]

IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN A MISSTEP TO TAKE ME DOWN, KHADGAR. AND WHEREAS I WOULD WISH FOR SOME KIND OF HEALING BACK UP, I DON'T THINK I WOULD WANT TO TEMPT FATE WITH HOW FICKLE IT SEEMS HERE.

[ or it'll send his priest son. just watch.]

[4896apexiscrystals]

[ Khadgar is just going to keep chuckling away. Also.... That'd be fun to explain. Why he goes KING Anduin instead of prince... Better not tempt fate too much. ]

Mightier men have fallen for less, King Varian. It is better to be safe than sorry.

I'd rather not have to explain to Greymane why you're wobbling about forcing yourself to act fine. Should he appear -- honestly, I'm not sure if that would be a blessing or a curse at this point.

[ last thing Theia needs is two wolves cooped up with more pressing matters at hand. ]

[shalamayne]

IT WOULD BE A CURSE FOR THIS PLACE SHOULD GREYMANE TURN UP. I WOULD NOT WISH CAPTIVITY ON ANYONE, HOWEVER IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER TO STAND ON MY OTHER SIDE IN PRESSING TIMES.

I'VE TAKEN HARDER HITS TO THE HEAD THAN FALLING ON IT, KHADGAR. GREYMANE KNOWS IT TOO.

[4896apexiscrystals]

Remember, even the hardest rock can break.

Forgive my fatalistic view, I'm aware you have gone through much worse. I can't help but want to make sure you continue to breathe, old friend. The High King of the Alliance cannot die in such a place, not when he is needed leading his people.

I honestly would not be surprised if you told me that he was the cause of some of those hits.

[shalamayne]

IF I HIT IT HARD ENOUGH.

IT IS NOT FATALISTIC AND YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE CONCERNS. HOWEVER WE CANNOT ALLOW CONCERNS LIKE THAT TO PREVENT US FROM DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE NEED TO BE FInding a way out not only for ourselves but for the others here. i'm certain between us we shall figure it out.

he was. but king greymane gives as good as he gets.

[4896apexiscrystals]

Well, you definitely aren't wrong.

Another reason I suggested I come along beyond you being reminded of your fabled mortality. That and if I went alone, I may find myself attacked if I was to focused.

You let him hit you for what reason? Were you two play fighting like children.....

[shalamayne]

of course i'm not.

i refuse to believe there is no way out of this place; if there's a way in then there is a way out. that's the way it works and if i have to hunt those responsible to the ends of this world then i will.

no.

[ probably. maybe. yes.]

[4896apexiscrystals]

If there isn't one, I'm sure we will just make one.

Are you telling me the truth?

[shalamayne]

we'll make the necessary arrangements.

are you questioning the king of stormwind?

[4896apexiscrystals]

[ Khadgar just started cracking up. ]

I'll ready the bandages.

That tends to be my job, actually.

[shalamayne]

you'll need them.

the last i looked, your job was archmage not inquisitor.

[4896apexiscrystals]

I have no doubt I will, Varian. One day I will show you the amount of accidentally self inflicted scars I have from either blowing myself up or simply poking something in the wrong way.

I am a mage, being inquisitive is sort of what I do. So much that it may be detrimental to my own good.

[shalamayne]

it may just be detrimental to your own good very shortly.

not that being inquisitive in other people's directions is a bad thing, i suspect it will yield more answers than not where the others are concerned.

[4896apexiscrystals]

Are you threatening me, Varian?

I was just curious on if you and Greymane tended to fool around like children....

[shalamayne]

are you purposefully trying to torment me or is that just a latent habit?

stay curious. i'll tell you when we get home.

[4896apexiscrystals]

I would say a little of column A and a little of column B. It's not every day I get to tease the King of Stormwind.

[ he's not touching that last thing, he'll leave it be and just try very hard not to flinch thinking about the fact that said king is dead and will not be able to tell him the actual answer. ]

[shalamayne]

[ what varian doesn't know won't hurt him. except one day he'll probably be able to guess when people are tiptoeing around him.]

it won't be every day, not if we have to share accommodation. that and it is not against protocol to tease back i'll have you know.

[4896apexiscrystals]

Now that is a threat, Varian.

But pray tell do you have to tease me back with?

[shalamayne]

it is a threat, a promise too.

unending rage.

[4896apexiscrystals]

Good thing I don't have any of that then, isn't it?
