Glorious Home

[Nephrite]

"Mister Sisatar suggested him for something I'm involved with." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel waits, arms crossed and a wing on the door, holding it open.

More writing. 'Why do you want him, then?'

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath in through his nose.

"Fighting Shar." Moore answers.

[Anastasia]

More writing, yet again. 'Why do you want to fight Shar?'

Cresiel exhales, "Is that answer not obvious, or are you that unfamiliar with Sharrans?"

[Nephrite]

"To keep her evil from Creation." Moore answers with a calming smile at Cresiel before he looks back. "We're gathering allies for that reason."

[Anastasia]

Yet more writing. 'Why oppose evil?'

Cresiel glances at you, "Shall I?" he offers.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "I don't think he's looking for that sort of answer."

He turns back. "It's the right thing to do -- and if we have the strength to do so, we should use it in a pursuit of goodly things, such as protecting the innocent and weak people from being harmed by evil like those who follow Shar." He offers a smile afterwards. "If your follow-up question is 'why is it the right thing to do,' then the only thing I can answer to that is 'because not everyone can do what we can do,' I think."

[Anastasia]

A stony look and more writing, 'Why are you special, then?'

[Nephrite]

Moore looks thoughtful at that.

Does everyone who comes to this house get grilled like this? Jeez.

"Because I've survived all the trials and tribulations put in front of me." Moore answers. "I refuse to give up, even in the face of adversity -- it's important to inspire other people with both your words and your deeds, rather than just one or the other. I've been given a chance to do something special for Creation itself and I don't intend to squander that chance. If you ask me 'why don't you give up,' I... don't know that I can answer that. I just don't -- I can't. I can't simply be a non-participant in something as important as this."

[Anastasia]

More writing. 'You're an idealist and stupid. You'll get along just fine with Kaja, come in.'

[Nephrite]

Moore can't help but laugh at that. "I wasn't expecting a test of character." He will accept the invitation and come in.

[Anastasia]

The two of you are escorted within. Up stairs through decorated rooms, up to the top floor. Here is an open space, no barriers within, an open floor plan. Before one window a half-dragon sits, skin with golden scales rising out of it on places. He wears a simple tunic and pants, gaze faraway and out the window as...

Go ahead.

[Nephrite]

Moore clears his throat politely first to get Kaja's attention.

"Good day. My name is Moore, Duke of Songs of Celestia. This is my comrade, Cresiel." He offers a bow and gives Cresiel time to do whatever introductory gesture he feels like doing.

"I will skip the pleasantries and pageantry of all of this and get directly to the point." He clears his throat again. "I have been tasked with leading a group, based out of Celestia, that's primary goal is to stymie and defeat Shar and her agents. There are other goals as well -- defeating evil wherever we find it, that sort of thing. I am here to see if there would be interest in joining that group." Moore stops there for the time being.

[Anastasia]

Dragon's wings wrap around Kaja as he turns, Cresiel merely staying respectfully behind you.

"Which one sent you?" Kaja asks, right to the point.

[Nephrite]

"I'm going off of conjecture here based on your question, so I'm thinking you mean 'who told us about you,' and the answer to that is Sisatar." Moore answers.
