Hello,

My name is Saix, and I'm looking for a companion to keep me close.

[Attached is a picture of him.]

I like long walks, not just on the beach, but everywhere, so long as you walk beside me. I hope you don't mind the collar, it's a statement for when I go out. Alone or with company.

I also like eating only out of bowls for every meal, but I hate using a spoon, I know that's a little weird, but trust me when I say it makes everything taste better.

I also really enjoy the game of catch, so if you'd play that with me, I'd be the happiest man alive.

I know this sounds a little ruff, but I'm really looking forward to going on a date. Just let me know when and where, and I'll meet you there.

Thanks for looking~.

[I have permission from Saix's mun to do this, and she will be tagging things back within a day or two, so expect thread jacking!

edit: Niles's comments will be from the 19th, Saix's will be from the 20th.]

Comments

[stonebird]

He lied about that too. He said such posts were common.

Understandable. I trust you will deal with him judicially.

[saikusu]

I'd take anything Niles has to say with a grain of salt. That's not to say he always lies, but I'd say it's often enough to make him untrustworthy.

Of course.

[stonebird]

One lie is enough to dissuade me from trusting him. (Liars are amongst the lowest in her eyes.)

[saikusu]

That's a wise choice. [That's something he can agree with. At least as long as you don't count lies by omission.]

[stonebird]

(She has omitted things, so yes, that is different.) I am sorry you must deal with the aftermath. I am Dali - otherwise known as Sansa Stark - and if you need a place of refuge, my temple is open to you.

[saikusu]

I appreciate the offer. I may take you up on that at some point - as long as you don't intend to make me one of your shinki. I will not betray the god I serve like that.

[stonebird]

Absolutely not! God or Shinki - it doesn't matter to me. If you need a safe place to stay, you can have one.

[saikusu]

You seem to be a noble person. Thank you. For now, Odin's temple is safe, but Niles will eventually return. How long after that return it remains safe is indeterminable.

[stonebird]

I do my best to abide by the example set by my family. (And the Stark name is hard to live up to, but since she is the only Stark in this world, she must try.) My invitation is open. Day or night, rain or shine, you are welcome. Niles, however, is not.

[saikusu]

Once again, thank you. To help in identifying him should you run into him, I'm attaching a photograph of him.

[stonebird]

Thank you, Lord Saix. He will be difficult to miss.

[saikusu]

I am not sure I deserve such an esteemed title as Lord, but you're welcome all the same.

[stonebird]

What title do you prefer? Are you a knight, perhaps?

[saikusu]

I don't know what I was prior to arriving here, however, the god I serve is a prince, so perhaps a knight is fitting for my role.

[stonebird]

You are indeed a knight, then, ser. Your god must value you highly.

[saikusu]

From what I can tell, he does. He has found me to be an invaluable help when answering prayers.

[stonebird]

What is that like? I have not answered any prayers yet.

[saikusu]

It depends on the prayer. We have helped someone find a job, returned a lost dog to his home, and have slain an ayakashi. All on different occasions. Depending on your skillss, and those of your shinki's, some prayers are easier to answer than others.

[stonebird]

All of those seem understandable. Have you heard of any prayers that go against a god's morality?

[saikusu]

I have not, however I can't say I've heard much of anything about prayers that I didn't help answer myself.

[stonebird]

That is comforting. I suppose a negative answer to a prayer is an answer, though I would rather not give it.

[saikusu]

If someone asks for something that goes against your morality, you can always answer it in a way that doesn't go against it, but doesn't completely neglect to acknowledge their request. A positive answer isn't always a nice answer.

[stonebird]

No, I agree. If the positivity isn't genuine, there is no point to it. I would rather be truthful with them even if it hurts them in the moment.
