[Some of us are covered in fruit, some of us aren't, but there was a trial so naturally, as the sun sets and stars sprinkle the sky in odd colors, it's time for a memory mingle!]

You protected your family. He's scared, but he's not hurt. You did good.

[spectacularluck]

Don't.

Look, I appreciate it — but I don't wanna talk about it. Not like this or — right now. I'm processing.

[ewestmarch]

[Shrugs. Goes back to book.]

[spectacularluck]

[ He doesn't want to talk about his memories specifically, sure, but he can take a distraction. So while the polite thing to do here would be to let her read and call it a day, he's gonna keep on chatting ]

And what are you reading, exactly?

[ewestmarch]

It's uh - ... My world doesn't have trains. [As far as she knows; Draenor is a long way off.] This is about how they were invented.

[Admitting how low-tech Azeroth is is a little embarassing, and she shrugs.]

Anything that can help me figure out what to do now.

[spectacularluck]

Any luck in figuring that out so far? Not about trains, I mean. What to do now.

[ewestmarch]

I think the smart thing to do is collect sparks as fast as we can. That's the only way to see if this is all a bluff, and we're never going home ... or if the Prince really can bring back what we lost.

[spectacularluck]

Honest opinion? I think it's a bluff.

But I'm fine with playing along for the time being. Nice meeting you, by the way.

[ewestmarch]

You too. Sorry I couldn't make it to the - [nose wrinkle.] kissing game, or whatever.

[spectacularluck]

[ There's a snort at that ]

All good, I was just trying to get some sparks for memories. I could always convince you to do something else if you feel that bad about it.

[ewestmarch]

Is that your bond? Seems a little manipulative.

[spectacularluck]

Maybe, but it counts even if the person would have done it anyway, so there aren't any drawbacks in letting you know beforehand that's what I'm after.

That makes it a little less manipulative.

[ewestmarch]

That's making the best out of a weird situation I... guess.

[spectacularluck]

What about your team? What's your bond?

[ewestmarch]

Strong displays of emotion.

[She forces a big smile. It looks more like a grimace.]

[spectacularluck]

[ Yeah, okay, sorry but that's just going to make him laugh ]

Don't strain yourself there. Does that count as one?

[ewestmarch]

No. But apparently you can fake it. If you're good at that.

[She's not.]

[spectacularluck]

So does it have to be your own strong displays of emotions? That makes it a lot harder if you're not good at faking it.

[ewestmarch]

I think it has to be from me to get the sparks. ... But I've never tested.

[Her eyes narrow, thoughtful.]

If I talk you into something, do you get credit?
