Just like that, (confirms voryn, showing grey hands in a peaceful gesture. there are no weapons visible on him, stripped of all but rich robes. even his hair and neck lack things that shine.
they did not take his accessories but caught him at a vulnerable time without them on.)
Your distrust of me reflects your distrust of Meridian. I cannot blame you; we are at war. (no one offers him this reminder, which concerns voryn who is of the belief that they have always been fighting and can never stop. while many in his contingent are convinced that fundamental differences can be bridged through good communication, he knows the truth: in dire times like these, true natures are revealed. john is wise to doubt.
all that voryn accepts now is that they're trapped together; it'd be a shame to waste the opportunity to rid themselves of a great volume of uncomfortable sap-blood. a single transfusion could settle them and keep them sane.)
But I have no plans to interrogate you, Outlander. There may be exceptions, of course. I may ask about your life and skills and interests... I insist, however, that these are incidental, as I am naturally curious about people. (one of his hands sinks from its raise, palm offering up to john.) Will you accept?
