This settled, wander around a bit, then.

((So tempdeaths are -5 to CON only, right?))
depends on the death. I believe yours was, yes.
@report, their kidding around would greatly help me relax, and i'd become less precise and formal, but have an easier time explaining details and complex situations.
@ portrait, I'd be VERY closely looking at the background figure, wondering if he has something to do with who my father is.
@mount training, I'd want to try Giant Frost Cat form as well, if my rider/trainer is up for it. I'd expect them to need to modify the saddle to allow it to stay secure in more than one form though. I'd like to know more about my rider if possible. Am I going to serve as his escort for a time? I assume he outranks me.
@Oz - job is military, theyre doing a big training thingie and want us to be cut off from the outside world for it to test how we handle isolation amoungst other things.
The officers seem appreciative of your report, and, as they are filing out of the room, one of them tells you "Don't worry about the Frost Giant bit too much. It was tragic, but not everything is under your control. Sometimes these things happen." He nods at you and then you are left alone with your thoughts. (feel free to pm me stuff related to your experience with officers and reports and stuff - I might be able to use it for better flavor for some of the others.)
You look at the figure in the background, or the hint of a figure, for a long time, but you catch yourself staring instead at your own figure - the set of the jaw, the tilt of the head, the edges of the eyebrows. Something about it feels exotic. A little wild, changeable in a way that your elven family is not.
Gimme a day or two to set up a training partner for you. Are you asking to be sent on a mission as a riding mount for the time you are afk? an unwritten mission that we sort of sum up when Aylia returns (and you come out of isolation)?
"Something of that nature, yes! Actually, what exactly would these lesser ones do?"
What, you mean I can't have a speed potion that causes time dilation? How silly!
Also, does 40 copper get me a pouch?
"Well, these potions are fairly remarkable in their own right. They are called Lightfoot's Dance. you would be able to catch arrows, outrun a bird on the wing, and leap across reasonably large rivers wit the momentum you build up. It comes at a cost. All that energy comes from somewhere, after all. But, for a brief time, you could take on a dozen assailants with ease. Just make sure you finish them before the potion runs it's course, mhmm hmm hmm." he pauses and eyes you thoughtfully.
"if you want something stronger, it will be very risky. You will most likely suffer some severe damage as a result of one. But I can make you able to run across the water like it was dry ground, for a time. I'll need your saliva, your sweat, and your blood. A vial of each."
a pouch would be one silver. Especially if you want it sturdy enough to handle crushed glass or jazzed rock. Are you planning on using it as a sap, or to dump the glass as a trap for the unshod? Because caltrops wold work for the second, and be cheaper, and a sap would work for the first, and be cheaper.
