"See you..." you say, somewhat dazed
Now that's the ticket :) Happy times are here to sta-
Chapter Twenty-One: Lord Elding And The Terrible Horrible No-Good Very Bad Fiscal Year
oh boy
"Well," she says with a deep breath, in much the same tone one would use to prepare to tell a child their dog was run over by a carriage. "Your personal income is currently 'nothing' because Marco did a little merchant espionage on the side to cover his tracks and now the house is tanking." She drops a sheet of parchment in front of you with an elegant flick of her wrist. It's a letter from those bastards the Rosso twins. "We're currently the lowest-rated in all of Söfnun and haemorrhaging money and looking at a buyout. So if it's more money in your pocket you're looking for... well, their door's open."
ohboy
"Shhhhh enough of that." She raises a finger to her lips briefly. "Now is the time to be pretty and silent."
ohhhhboy
"Look," she says, striding across that last little gap between you. You shrink against the wall unconsciously but she gets right up in your personal space all the same, practically pressing against you. You're close enough to smell her perfume, close enough to hear her breathing. She tilts her wrist and taps the scroll against your chin this time. "Let's not do this dance of transparent lies any longer than we have to. We both know that you're a man of certain... shall we say exotic talents. And I'm a woman with more than a few talents of her own. I'd say there's quite a lot we can do for each other~"
Eldingar right now:



Will vote later after I've eaten something.

Late to the party, but I am pleasantly surprised that people here went for sex with Belial. Good work bucking the trends of "ew, gay" and "sex only as the culmination of the romance path," you lot.

On a different note, damn that dragonslayer is scary. And she has a list of names with Eldingar on it.

She seemed nice enough about the nephew, even if he was newly turned and probably not a great target for slaying in a lot of ways. So I think she'd be open to talking to us, at least? And if we can provide character witnesses from our boyfriend hoard or something?

Is the dragonslayer discriminating about what dragons she slays? Does she only kill the particularly nasty ones? Possibly, but I would not count on it.

For one thing, we have no clue whether Cyranax's nephew (who provided her the list) is alive or dead. She could have killed him too for all we know.

For another thing, while Eldingar does not eat the people of Sofnun, he does repeatedly threaten people's livelihoods by robbing from lightning farms and eating cows and leeching off the economy and so on. I would not put it past the dragonslayer to punish him somehow.


Now, as for the current vote:

Let's light this trash fire. :D

We have rich friendly mute apprentice dude! He can cover any needed cash injection!

Wel that is an obvious trap.
Poor Elingar, he just wants lie on a pil of money and sleep.
But no, first Mother, then boyfriends and now economic fuck abouts must make his live hard.
I'd rather fight a war or ask the current harem for advice on business then...
Wel I mean a heist sounds great but it is probally filled with problems we wil have troubles to struggle our way out of.

Except that isn't their money. They said they wouldn't be giving that away, so we have no sugar-Nbaes.

More seriously, we've got little to lose here considering where our financials are. Not to mention this is a chance for us to learn more about this world and the people in it outside the context of romancing it.
 
I mean if this quest had a more serious tone I'd be more wary about accepting the offer but frankly the law of comedy demands that any plan Eldingar devises on his own will also result in a hilarious dumpster fire

Purely on the fact that she's clearly trying to manipulate us and I hate being manipulated. Normally, I'd take the offer and try to turn it back around on her but, well, that's a very Dragon thing to do and Eldingar kind of sucks at being a dragon. And, personally, what I'd really like to do is lift her up by the throat and go "Listen here, you little shit..." but that's not happening. So simple refusal it is

Plus, she's trying to use her feminine wiles on a gay man, so clearly she's not that smart.

I think this is the time for our second wish

FFS we're a massive recluse who almost nothing is known about and who never had any romantic entanglements until very, very recently. Unless she has a magical gaydar or has been spying on our lair it's hard to see how she would know that we don't swing that way.

"There's no way this can possibly go wrong."
Makram: "You sure about that?"
"There is. No. Way."
 
Ye gods you people are cowards.

Well, how about also the fact that she apparently knows something about us, and she also claims that she's a "talented" person as well.

Maybe she's part of the local monster scene?

Maybe she knows hot guys! :o
 
Or, you know, she just doesn't know we're gay. FFS we're a massive recluse who almost nothing is known about and who never had any romantic entanglements until very, very recently.
Were a dragon who's hobbies include 'have piles of money', 'lay on piles of money', 'spend someone elses money' and ofcourse 'get hit by lightning'.
All Elingar wants to do is lay on a bed of gold and do nothing.
But NOOooOOooOOooOOooOOoo mom wants us to not emberass her and forces us to date a guy and then BAM, we have a fucking date detecting map and boy friends up our fucking nose scales.
We just want to be lazy, is that so much to ask?
Appearently, yes.
...maybe the Heist is good for Elingar only because it allows him to blow off some steam.
However, this will probally attract unwanted attention.
Read: Any attention at all because Elingar would prefer to be a social outcast and be alone with his gold but here we are.

Eldingar, pressed against a wall, with a solution shoved in his face, and made greatly uncomfortable, has about the fortitude and resistance of wet tissue paper.

I see him caving like a house of cards while screaming internally. "Hey maybe it'll work I'm super poor gET OFF OF ME WHAT PART OF 'I LIKE COCK' DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND-"

Sorry, should have included a :V on the last part to show it was a joke.

I'm serious about the manipulation thing though.

Don't worry I'm sure it'll all pay off in the end when we dump her for her hot ex-boyfriend
 
This offer just screams a setup to me...

[X] Reject the Homewrecker.

She's obviously trying to seduce us!

You know what, you have me convinced.
Although I think poor Elingar needs to grow a spine and he has ignored his mother for years, Eldingar is better at refusing people at range.
When his mother is not in his face? Ignore it and it goes away.
If she is in his face he just wants her GONE right NOW and agreeing is the easiest way.

Is this how we decide if someone is a good person?
If they know our new potential husbando or not?
Because that is a completely valid reason.
