[ This lady's looking a little different, for anyone that's spoken with her before. Not any older, but there's a sort of crooked quality to her nose, like it'd been broken and healed some time ago. She's lounging in the Initiative apartments, looking like she's recently made friends with a superiority complex. ]
I want to speak to those of you who have seen a war before. Not the skirmishes that the Initiative sends us on here, but actual war.
And failing that, I'll take anyone that knows magic — and can teach it. That part is important. Don't waste my time if all you can do is cast it.

As you wish. You will see me no later than that.
shall we make this action?
[ a quick smile, and... shit she meant to hang up cleanly, but it takes a little bit of fumbling. stupid technology. ]
Sounds like a plan o/
So after about twenty minutes or so (he wasn't going to rush there), he raps his knuckles loudly on the door and takes a step back. He doesn't have his fur or his armor on, but he does hang onto Orcrist, which his hand rests by out of habit more than intent to use it.]

Oh, hey. She hadn't realized this guy would be so short. She's pretty tall as a human, but this guy, dang. She squints. ]
Are you... a dwarf? [ She's heard they're short and have beards, all of them. But that's about all she knows. ]
no subject
So he doesn't wither like a self-conscious violet under her gaze. He stares back and nods once, in confirmation to her question.] I go by Thorin Oakenshield.
no subject
And I go by Onyx.
[ And as soon as he's in, she'll push the door closed and start back to the living room, where she reclaims her lounge across the couch. It is a pretty fancy place, having been adorned by two black dragons with classy tastes. He's apparently welcome to take one of the chairs, or just stand awkwardly. Whatever tickles his dwarven fancy. ]
no subject
We are well met, my lady.
[In the living room, he will remove his sword from his belt and set it to the side before helping himself to a seat in one of the chairs.] How would you have us go about this?
no subject
Ask me a question, and after my answer, tell one of your stories.
no subject
How did you find your way out of this place?
no subject
no subject
Tell me what happened when you returned to your homeland: was there time that had been lost?
no subject
That's two questions in a row. I'm not sure that's fair.
no subject
What does the name 'orc' mean to you? If anything at all?
no subject
It's not a name I've heard before. Who is it?

no subject
Are you familiar with ogres?

We traveled far to find our ancestral realm taken. Our enemy greatly overpowered us in number, but we took arms and fought the orcs.
no subject
But you stand before me today to relate the tale. Did you win?
no subject
Answer my question and I will tell you.
no subject
They didn't send me back intentionally, I don't think. It seems to be the instability of their machine. And when I returned home, it was precisely the same second I'd left it, and I forgot my time here right up until the moment I returned to Exsilium.
no subject
He wants to ask if there were others, but he knows how that will go. He returns to her question with a growing heaviness in his voice.]
Over ten-thousand orcs were slain in that battle. Their leader wounded and dragged back into the mines. We were victorious.
no subject
You don't sound very pleased about your victory.
no subject
It may please you less when you remember the smell of old blood. And the ground covered with your dead, far past the ability to bury them. Half the dwarves that fought at my side now reside in the halls of Mandos, with our Maker.
