D’accord. You first.

[tadpoled]

First, I once ate a strange mushroom that provoked a memory from my past.

Second, I have only died once.

Third, I fell in love with a wizard named Gale, who did not like me very much at first.

[cozen]

[ Bastien hums, thinks, and ventures a guess— ]

The second one.

[tadpoled]

Correct. I’ve unfortunately lost count of how many times I’ve met my end.

[A silent shrug.]

Your turn?

[cozen]

[ If Tav were the first rifter Bastien had ever met, he might find this too wild to let pass without further questions. —and it is a little wild, for him to have lost count of deaths over the course of only three months. Seems like the kind of thing a man would keep a tally for, even if it were happening once a day.

But only a little. ]

I play the cello, I can imitate any accent, and I can juggle.

[tadpoled]

Please tell me you don’t juggle.

[Someone has some bad memories of a circus and meeting his bloodkin Orin.]

[cozen]

Sorry, my friend. I do juggle. It is the accents I have trouble with.

[tadpoled]

You could have fooled me with the accents. Suppose you could pick up the Baldurian accent with enough time

[cozen]

Baldurian, that is yours? [ Rhetorical. ] With a decade, maybe.

Your turn.

[tadpoled]

Yes. Comes with living in Baldur’s Gate for some time. Or I think. [Someone missed the rhetorical element of that question.]

I speak three languages, I am a half-elf rather than a full elf, and I have slept with a succubus.

[cozen]

There is no such thing as a half elf here,

[ is his guess. ]

[tadpoled]

There are half-elves where I’m from: one parent is an elf, the other is human. I’ve been told I look more like a half-elf due to my features.

However, I only speak two languages: common and elvish.

[cozen]

Do you mean our Trade tongue? Or your own common language?

[tadpoled]

I suppose we are speaking the same language, in a way. I’m speaking Common to you right now. It’s a universal base language of sorts for the Sword Coast, at least.
