[ The feed turns on to a close up of brown eyes before the owner of said eyes pulls back, revealing a scarred face and... horns? The man's face shows some mild confusion as he tilts his head and suddenly the feed cuts off.

Someone's obviously having some trouble with their tablet. After a little while, text appears, but wow what is typing. ]

are we talking like orange robes monk or what?

text

[combats]

orange robes? no my clothes are green and white.

[slingshots]

sooo whole other monk or fashion upgrade?

[combats]

that depends. what are your monks like?
we have never worn robes.

[slingshots]

guessing you never went bald either
evidence points to whole different thing

[combats]

no bit too young for that i would hope.
we are still spiritual people, if that is the same.

[slingshots]

dunno on that one, i'm not actually a monk expert
a monxpert

[ heh. she likes that. ]

[combats]

that sounds funny. [ In his head anyway. ]

what is your name, not-monxpert?

[slingshots]

robin, from gotham. nice to e-meet you.

[combats]

nice to meet you too, robin.

[he's having a hard time with this typing thing too wow fancy tablet letters how strange this is]

A monk that fights?

TEXT

[combats]

[At least you figured out how to capitalize letters sob]

yes monks are a fighting class where i'm from.

TEXT

[modestchivalry]

[well color him curious!]

Is that so? How interesting! The monks we have back home are non-confrontational. I suppose there are all sorts.

TEXT

[combats]

there are many different ways to express faith.
we are trained to be physically strong and the king wants to make use of our strength in his war against evil, so we fight.

TEXT

[modestchivalry]

I have never thought of it that way.

In what sort of way were you taught to fight, if you do not mind my asking?

TEXT

[combats]

not at all, we are trained in martial arts.
we fight primarily with our fists, but some use maces.

TEXT

[modestchivalry]

My goodness, I never would have imagined such spiritual people capable of fighting like that but I must say I am impressed.

You said you know how to heal as well?

TEXT

[combats]

it is no big deal, our spirituality makes us strong.

and yes, that is correct. i can do holy magic which includes healing and spells to enhance capabilities.

TEXT

[modestchivalry]

Well I admire your.. passion & devotion to your faith. It is truly admirable.

Spells to enhance capabilities? How so?

TEXT

[combats]

thank you.

they are spells that will temporarily increase speed and reflexes and increase strength, accuracy and magic power. they can be very useful in battle.

[fe_male]

[ because he can. it's fast. ]

probably be in pretty high demand around here then

text.

[combats]

[ show-off!! he might be a little envious. ]

i will do my best to help everyone.

text.

[fe_male]

so what kind of both do you do

text.

[combats]

both? how do you mean?

[fe_male]

fighting and healing.

[combats]

oh! i fight using martial arts and my healing is holy magic that is taught at the church of prontera.

[fe_male]

yeah but which kind of martial arts. do they use antibacterial gauze there, at this church?

[combats]

it is a style that uses fists unique to monks.
and why do you ask?

[fe_male]

healing fists. i feel like i've heard that before. and i'm nosy

[combats]

but what does antibacterial gauze have to do with the church?

[fe_male]

nothing, it just seems dumb to not make it a little easier on god, you know, being asked for all that help all the time

[combats]

it is not like that.
it is not as if we channel the magic of the gods or anything.

[fe_male]

what's the point then

[combats]

of believing? faith gives strength.

[fe_male]

which does jack-all about bacterial infections

[combats]

why is that so important to you?
it is an easy thing to cure.

[fe_male]

i'm just saying you're putting a lot more effort into things here than you need to

[combats]

i guess...
is that a bad thing?

[fe_male]

if you don't see the problem in it then i guess not
