[ There's a sombre-looking William on the feed today. He looks a little worn from fighting off the creatures, but otherwise mostly unharmed as far as anyone can tell. He's only sorry he's interrupting all the attempt at holiday cheer. ]

I understand that there's been a call for retribution - or justice, some might call it - against the people of Rumpitur. I'm here to ask you all to take a step back and show some compassion and understanding. It is neither fair nor just to accuse an entire village of wrongdoing when they act out of fear or desperation. Who amongst you wouldn't have done the same in their position?

I propose we slay the creature terrorising their village. We were hard-pressed simply to escape from its minions, but I believe that if given time to prepare and coordinate, we can surely defeat it. Once it's gone, the people of Rumpitur can live normal lives.

er4t5fgyh that premise sounds amazing?

Even right down to its shape? A physical shape? Not just an actual blast of fire?

[Wow that... sounds dangerous.]

Then you're more equipped than anyone I know, but I will still provide any support I can. Without my former attitude.

It's very neat and I hope they reveal more Words later lmao

[strength_of_will]

Sort of. In the language of the gods, the Word for fire speaks to the very idea of it. Ah...

[ He laughs a little and shakes his head. ]

It might take a while to explain properly. Still, a spell so powerful as to erase something from existence isn't an incantation to be used on a whim. Maybe after we take care of the creature, I could spend some time showing you how the Words work?

[There isn't even a moment of hesitation and Shoto is very interested to see.]

Yes, actually. I was going to ask if you wouldn't mind showing me. I just don't know how fauxpas that is here to ask people. I'll be glad to return the favour, but I'd certainly like to see.

[strength_of_will]

It's no trouble at all for me. I'm more than happy to demonstrate to someone interested in learning. If you had asked me to flaunt my power as a spectacle, on the other hand, I would have refused.

[heir_conditioned]

As you should have if that is what anyone is asking. There's nothing wrong with tournaments or just sparring, but there's something to be said about being entertainment instead. I won't ask you to do that. Do contact me after all of this is over, I'll work with your schedule.

[strength_of_will]

Great. I'll send you a message once we've taken care of the creature.

[ There is no doubt in William's mind that things will be settled one way or another with the beast. ]

🎀 - Thanks for sticking through with my nutzoid life <3

[heir_conditioned]

Please do, I would like that.
