If you ask me, it's half off.

His creativity was shot.

...let us say it has been an interesting week with the wife and leave it at that.

"Hot chocolate?" Lissar says, and she's able to look at the tall, blond man without flinching, "Please? I am upon the Autobots tab."

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

He remembers her.

"First one's on me. It's chocolate."

He likes when people get the non-alcoholics.

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

She's changed.

A lot.

Her hair is cut, her clothing is Earthly, and she doesn't cringe.

"Thank you. I am fond of it."

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

"As am I," he says. "It was one of the first things that someone showed me."

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"The same for me, but it took time to grow on me. I like it best bitter." Lissar says with a faint smile, "I faced my father."

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

He thought about that for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"Good."

"Friends came with me. My Ironhide was very impressive. No lives were lost." She pauses, then, "My father is broken, and exposed. I do not fear you so much, now."

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

"If it ever bothers you, let me know. Otherwise," he gives her a small smile, "I'll just be happy for you."

He quirks his head.

"Ironhide?"

He'd met Ironhide. Hence the confusion.

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"My beloved." Lissar says with a quirk of her lips, "He is...perhaps the least likely to be Crown Prince as ever a being has been. An Autobot, of Cybertron."

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

"Not so unlikely," he says with a brief chuckle. "After all, I've met Optimus. I'd even consider him a friend.

"And considering my own lineage involves a wolf for a grandmother..."

He shrugs.

"I count Prime as my leader." Lissar says with another small smile, "I have been told that I am of their team. And, well. Ironhide holds my heart. He is willing to fight to learn enough to rule wisely."

"I'm glad you've found both," he says as he serves the hot chocolate.

[lissla-lissar.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." Lissar says contently, smiling down at her cocoa when she's accepted it from Garion, "I hope you have been as well as I."

Silver chiming sounds accompany each footfall as the Companion trots slowly across the room.

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

That got something of a look.

"Can I get you anything?" he asks, though. He'll serve anyone who asks him, after all.

[not-a-horse.livejournal.com]

She swings her head around to regard him with interest.

::... that would be very nice of you, actually.::

The mindvoice is surprised, but pleased.

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

Aha.

What would you like?

Well, when in Milliways...

[not-a-horse.livejournal.com]

::I am not accustomed to taking refreshment indoors::, she informs him.

::What would you recommend?::

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

There's always water. And I'll make sure you can drink it without too much difficulty.

[not-a-horse.livejournal.com]

::I thank you.::

A beat, and when she resumes her conversation, the mindvoice carries more than a hint of curiosity.

::You have taken my speech in stride more than most,:: Megwyn says.

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

There was a muttered word before the trough was filled with water and he walked around to put it onto three of the bar stools for her.

I'm a wolf as often as not. And a sorcerer at all times.

[not-a-horse.livejournal.com]

::A mage?:: She seems to take this in stride, although interest is clear.

::I have not known mages who could become wolves.::

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

My grandmother was a wolf. It's a favorite form.

[not-a-horse.livejournal.com]

::Oh. I see.::

A beat.

::Well, actually I don't, but that's probably beside the point. Anyway, my name's Megwyn.::

[wellthrownstone.livejournal.com]

Garion. A pleasure to meet you, Megwyn.
