You may. Whether or not I'll answer is another question entirely, however.

Are you scheming something?

[traumaticus]

as is in your right.
now, why would think that? i have always been straightforward and transparent with my intentions.

[endcaller]

Lady Jinx labored under the belief that you were a vile and dangerous man. Do forgive my wariness.

[traumaticus]

as much as that saddens me i can't claim to be fully surprised she harbored such thoughts towards me.
we did not always see eye to eye on some matters.

[endcaller]

You disagree with her assessment, then?

[traumaticus]

aye.
i do not seek to cause harm nor danger to our community, but the opposite.

[endcaller]

Ah, you would be our great savior?

Do tell me more!

[traumaticus]

me? a savior? hardly.
wanting to help our community to thrive is far cry from the deeds of a hero.

[endcaller]

You think so?

I feel aiding in community wellbeing would be precisely the aims of a hero.

Not that I am one to know from experience, of course.

[traumaticus]

i would think it is normal human behavior.
i seek no glory nor recognition with my actions. merely our mutual survival.

[endcaller]

Spoken like a true hero!

[He chimes.]

For only a knave would help others for the sake of glory.

[traumaticus]

Then what of you? Are the members of Inx aiming to do the exact same as I?

[endcaller]

[An airy laugh.]

Aye.

Though Jinx would be the noble hero in that regard. I offer her my counsel, 'tis all.

[traumaticus]

So, you'd be her kingmaker? How quaint.

[endcaller]

Well! Sometimes people need a bit of help from a kingmaker.

We're not all born as the Duke of whatever, son of etcetera or whatever you said your many titles were.

[traumaticus]

Duke of Gloucester, the son of York.

[See? He can't help but correct the other.]

Anyone who wishes to be king needs a kingmaker, regardless of their status.
