Greetings. My name is Prince Reyson of the Heron Clan.

As you know, we have trouble lately with the breach. To ensure such a thing does not occur so suddenly, I thought about proposing a part-time perimeter guard of the walls. I think we would be better prepared should anything happen again.

Also, as I know some people were hurt or struggling, you are welcome to see me. I have the power of the galdr which means I can soothe one's spirit, trauma and pain. Should you have need of my abilities, do let me know.

[ huh. ]

All herons possess a similar nature. I am the only one who is truly different.

Well, that seems rather dreadfully boring.

[To be all alike in nature... Amaurot values its cultural homogeneity and agreement, it's true, but there was always room for and value in the difference of personalities. A creative society would simply be unable to thrive without such differences; people all of the same mind create only the same things, over and over.]

To stand out in the crowd of one's own kind is a difficult thing... Again, you have my sympathies.

[That seems more genuine than his initial comment, at least, though it remains difficult to tell if it is entirely serious.]

I would suffer such a thing gladly if my kind existed once more.

[ some things cannot be helped, like his oddity and his hatred for mankind, but he'd take that suffering over being the only one left. ]

But thank you.

[Closed eyes and a nod. Yes, that too he knows all too well.]

A condemnation from the lost would be worth hearing again, if only because it comes from them.

Indeed. I had a large family.

Now it is myself and my sister. My father lives, but he is too ill and rarely leaves his bed.
