[ now there's a new face on the network. if you've had to do with smiths lately you may have run into Thorin before, but that's about it. he's got a gruff look about him, somewhat unimpressed. ]

Since one of the librarians has taken it upon himself to ban me from the relevant sections of the library, [ that may have been a wry smile there but it's gone very quickly, ] I was wondering if one of you could tell me something about the history of Union. The story of the Saviour aside.

[ was there anything else- right. yes. perhaps he should give his reasons. and his name. ]

My name is Thorin. I came here from Caldera a few months ago, but have not had the chance to ... immerse myself in the culture.

[ not that he's all sure he wants to. something off to the side catches his eye, and he closes the feed with a nod. ]

[ ... yeah that's about what he thought. if Thorin looks a bit judgemental, it's because he is. ]

Some never change by much. Many would consider this fortunate.

[ why does he get the distinct feeling that he's being looked down upon for his typing, of all things? ]

Well, regardless of our feelings about it none of us have the luxury of being able to pick and choose, now do we. I daresay I can't say one way or the other whether it's fortunate or not, it just... it is what it is.

[ to be honest, as a child, and even a teenager, he'd often wished for something more interesting. as an adult? he's quite content with it, thank you very much. ]

A sensible attitude to have.

[ which is a fact and not a compliment. ]

Hm. Just common sense, perhaps. [ this entire conversation is just rubbing him the wrong way now. time to make a speedy exit before he gets irrationally annoyed! ] In any case, my apologies once again for that business at the library earlier, and for taking up your time.

[ there's a nod to indicate he accepts the apology, even if he doesn't say so. but he's glad to be done with the whole deal. ]

And likewise for the disturbance.

[ the end. or so they're both hoping, it seems. ]
