A Little More Than Sightseeing (Rai/GM)

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"There are some who were large enough for this, or nearly. Maybe still are." She'd heard rumors and knew people who knew, anyway. "Titans, people who have qi or abilities that allow them to grow to unusual heights, but they're rare from what I understand. So who knows?" She shrugged as the man seemed ot stare off into space.

"And you are...?"

[Sir Galahad]

"Hmmm, I don't believe in Primordial beings. The science behind them is preposterous. I was being skeptical when I asked if there were creatures large enough wear this armor. It was obviously made with the intention of being strong enough to be able to shrink to the wear's size."

Then the man would then turn back to Evelyn.

"Ah, my apologies miss. I'm F, pleasure to meet you. Miss...?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"I guess it's possible it has more than one purpose. Even if other people gave it more than what it was originally made for." It was a guess; she didn't know anythign about the lore or how common the items like this were. Evelyn nodded.

"My name's Evelyn. Pleasure to meet you." She held out her hand to shake his if he chose. Apparently he'd been very engrossed in his thoughts to miss the first introduction.

[Sir Galahad]

He would shake her hand.

"Pleasure is mine. So, what brings you here?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"A bit of exploring." Her hand fell by her side when they finished. "Like I said, I wanted to see the village and the people here for myself. So far, it's brought me to you, M, the helmet, and a bit of a rough start."

[Sir Galahad]

The mans expression softened.

"Ah, M... poor girl. I do apologize on her behalf for any foul deeds she might have done. She isn't really a bad person... Just, has a difficult time being a good person."

He would say, but then he would move on.

"The village is quite a beautiful place. The people are a little stand offish at first but they will warm up to you in time. However, the helmet, quite the spectacle for sure. Definitely the first place I would suspect many tourist would visit... if there were tourist..."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Nothing I'm upset over." It was easier when M just spelled it out as everything being just a game. Eve waved off of the concern and made a mental note of what was said for next time. Because there would, undoubtedly, be a next time.

"I'll be fine." She gave him a considerable look. "So where would you suggest going if they weren't a tourist?"

[Sir Galahad]

F smiled apologetically.

"Unfortunately, no where that you would be welcome at right now..."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

"Outsider status confirmed," she assumed. Point made. Or at least assumed.

"In that case, what does F stand for?"

[Sir Galahad]

F would make a face.

"Eh... not so much an outsider in this case... more like... well, your father would be allowed. Because he has garnered respect from both Liam and the troops, which by proxy includes the Troops families and friends."

When she asked about his bane however he would wince.

"That's... a sensitive subject... let's just say, I am not proud to have the name, but it is the only one I know. Well, aside from 'boy' which was the name I had before I was named F. But that wasn't much better."

F started to fade back to distant memories when he shook his head free of the mental specter's.

"Oh! I've got an idea. How about you come to my shop? I don't mind you visiting there and I do have a lot of interesting things, well, things I find interesting anyways. M finds most of my things boring."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

It'd be more concerning if he didn't have respect from them. Evelyn nodded and let the vague explanation. There was time enough to learn more later. The far away gaze on his face had a distant look to it until he pulled himself back with an acceptable compromise.

"Good thing I'm not M, then." She gestured for F to lead the way and she would follow. "Are they things you find, or make?"

[Sir Galahad]

F would laugh.

"Oh believe me, I know all too well that you aren't M. I know her too well and it'll take more than the handful of similarities to fool me."

He would begin leading the way towards his shop.

"As for my shop, you could say it's a little bit of both. Stuff I find, stuff I make, stuff I make out of stuff I find, etcetera."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

It sounded like a shop she would indeed want to see.

"A handful of similarities?" She raised a brow, curious but not insulted. Yet.

[Sir Galahad]

They arrived to a small building smaller than most others but it was kept neat and nice. He would open the door. But stop upon hearing her question.

"Yes? Do you not recognize them yourself?"

F would face palm.

"Oh! No wonder you don't understand."

He would walk inside and motion her to follow. Once she was inside he would close the door.

"You aren't being shunned by the people JUST because you are an outsider. But also because you remind them of M, M is only welcome here because no one dares speak I'll of her to Liam. That and everyone has grown reliant on me and my wares, and I'm sure they would rather not lose me if they did succeed in throwing M out. But that's neither here nor there for your question. But yes, you are able to consume Qi like she does, you have the same general sour attitude when you don't get respect, and you have also shown that you have a bit of a temper. At least if the latest talk from one of the other shop keeps I know is accurate. On top of that y'all both walk the same, like you're carrying a burden that you can't share or talk about. Oh, and your both over shadowed by and follow great men and leaders."

F would let his words sink in as he offered Eve a place to sit.

"Tea?"

[Evelyn Amtrum]

The size didn't stop her. Eve was already more interested on what was inside the building than out since it didn't look like it would collapse on them at any second. She entered after F did, looking around as she did so. His analysis caught her by surprise, speaking more in what felt like one breath than she'd heard from anyone in a while.

"Good to know." She coudln't say she wouldn't be concerned about someone who reminded her of M showing up. But there were rules to follow to keep people in check like that. Apparently that included poison to her family...but she wasn't going to dwell on that. She nodded at the mention of qi consumption, and tea.

"No, but thank you for the offer." She'd take a seat, preferably a chair or something that let her sit in her own space.

"Most people don't know about it. They'd probably think the same, south of the border. But I learned from the best." She looked to the side for a moment at the mention of great men. She wanted to be her own person, more than just a daughter of Ares.

"I take it the three of you are close? Or at least work well together."
