Axe 02 - Video- Open to Both

[gloinul]

[He really doesn't like using this thing for anything more than responding to others but. Well.

Gimli starts the feed up and he has three of his five axes out in front of him, sharpening a fourth.]

Thought I might as well let the world at large know that if you are at all interesting in helping to rebuild the gates of the Cothromach, I'm the Dwarf you should speak to. I'm fairly certain anyone interested is already here, but. [And he shrugs] I hope you have people to vouch for you if you're interested. I do not tolerate slackers or liars on my jobs, nor do I tolerate saboteurs.

[Well, that explains the show of axes.

And he is done with this very painful task. The feed just cuts out]

And you are?

[Sorry Jon, but Gimli is scrutinizing you like you happen to be made of a particularly strange mineral]

[baseborne]

[Jon can't get no respect!] Jon Snow, captain of the city's guard.

[gloinul]

[You know, he'd probably be friendlier if you explained you were Sansa's brother, Jon. As it is, he just grumps]

I know a few Unseelie myself--friends from home, though why they are on that side is beyond any of us--and will vouchsafe for them and those they speak for. Otherwise you or the Lady Stark would have been called to judge any Unseelie who approach me anyway.

[There is a certain degree of "what do you take me for" going on there.]

[baseborne]

[Hey, baseborn bastard half-brothers don't get to brag about that sort of thing. It's just in the rules.]

Aye, as do I. [And they already live within the City's walls. Anyway, Jon takes him for the sort of man (dwarf) who just invited all and sundry to come contemplate the shattered defenses of a city apparently prized by both sides and recently beset by siege. AKA someone who probably cares more about their work than about the bizarre and seemingly useless war the fairies wage. Well and good and even a bit admirable, but... not smart, tactically.

Well, no use crying over spilled milk, in any case. Cooly, since Gimli seems displeased despite his best attempts at politeness (not exactly new ground for Jon):] As you say, then. I only wished to make Cothromach's position clear.

Lad, I am a hundred and forty-four years old. I have fought my own war and am friend to plenty of kings. I know I am doing and how to do it.

[baseborne]

[Flatly:] As it please you, my lord.

well this went well XD

[gloinul]

[A Look. He can tell you're sassing him, kid, but he isn't going to say anything.

Men. Almost worse than Elves]

gosh gimli he was just tryin to do his job!!

[baseborne]

[No it's cool Jon is used to pretty much everybody hating him. He's just gonna hang up now and go back to his office and listen to Linkin Park on repeat all alone. (He tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end...)]
