video | open to both courts (yay non-locket devices)
I've been thinking.
[ John's sitting against the base of a tree somewhere, idly scratching a stray mutt behind the ears with one hand while holding his device with the other. ]
Seelie, Unseelie. Order, Chaos. Can't really have one without the other, can you? But that's the whole thing the courts want: one to win over the other. And that's with the queens being sisters.
Sort of seems like it won't work either way, in the long run. Not in a way anyone wants.
[ This would have been essentially blasphemy, once upon a time; treason of the highest order. But John has had no shard for eight months, has only the memory of a gold cloak to his name now. It's the Shuck he serves and the Red Hand he fights for, this world and its people and those he cares about. ]
But maybe that's just me.
[ He shrugs, pausing just long enough for the dog to look up at him and whine. A snort and he goes back to generously bestowing ear scratches. ]
Anyway, if any of you are looking for something to do, a way to make money, and aren't afraid of hard work -- the Red Hand's hiring. We're a mercenary group but we'll take all sorts; we can find a job for you, if you've got something to bring to the table. We have no court-attached contracts, are focusing more on what the natives to this world need, so no worries there -- and I'm a shardless son of a bitch, so no worries about getting spanked or whatever your court does for having conversations with the 'wrong people'.
Leave your prejudiced bullshit at the door, though; we've got all sorts of races and believers among the ranks. If you can't handle that, I'm more than willing to throw you out on your ass.

Well, thank you. Maybe I'll go for a run with them sometime, see what we can sniff out. You should come along too.

Maybe I'll bring Aiden along as well. He needs to stretch his legs every once in a while.
[There's a small pause and some chatter can be heard off to the side, before she laughs, her face brightening with a proud look on her face and shaking her head, turning her attention back to the compass.]
My students also wanted me to let you know they'd recommend me for a position even if you didn't say you'd still have me.

Aiden?
[ John chuckles a bit, though, at the little chatter and Merida's reaction. ]
Well. Tell them thank you for the review.
compass; private
[She laughs herself.]
I'll be sure to tell them after we're done. But really they should know better an' to get back to their trainin'.
[There's some whines (someone even saying 'but we've been at it for three hours!') but eventually they all shuffle off.]

[ John, you have two saber-fanged cave lions. ]
Knew you were good for the job. [ He laughs. ]

Oh well if all I needed to do was mention I have a bear, I should've said so ages ago. But yes. I raised him from a cub after I found him durin' th' winter I hunted th' Hart an' won.
