Shellton | Eltrut | "Movable Type" Bookshop - OTA
[While there are many things to see and do throughout the wide world of Escordvi, Dion has started small and has started by taking time for leisure, something he rarely had time for in Valisthea, and so he was browsing shelves, surprisingly vast ones, in a bookshop off the main market. Mostly, the tall blond is keeping himself to the non-fiction section, amazed at the sheer number of titles spanning the shelves. It would seem printing was a thing here, as the typewriter which initiated him suggested, and he's rarely seen so many books collected in one place.

So much knowledge is collected here he hardly knows where to begin, and so he might turn to a fellow browser, leaning slightly so as to keep his voice low.]

Begging your pardon, of course, could you perchance suggest a title? I've no idea where to begin.

Eltrut | A Clearing Outside Shellton | OTA
[He's received a word of warning from Jill regarding the potential potency of Bahamut, which only serves to further reinforce the caution Benedikta instilled in him, and so in an effort to assure he's prepared to aid those here in whatever capacity he is able, Dion has found a suitable clearing outside the port in order to acclimate to the way his Aether pools in this place.

The prince is clad in his mithril armor for no other reason than it serves the purpose of protection and doesn't force him to spend doubloons he'd rather keep for food, and sets about moving through warm-up drills first: simple polearm forms designed to get his muscles loose and to work out the stiffness from his joints he always experiences in association with the Crystal's curse that's slowly turning all Bearers and Dominants to stone.

He'll welcome the company, and is more than game to spar with anyone looking to hone their skills or keep themselves sharp. He'll offer an amicable smile when he pauses in his rhythm, inclining his head.]

Well met. Are you looking to sharpen or observe?

(OOC: feel free to throw whatever scene you'd like at me! If you'd like a specific prompt, feel free to drop me a line on plurk at vikael or on discord at vikael, but I'm pretty flexible and can fall in with whatever you're feeling!

MANTA prompts are in their own thread below)

[Lyney is sharp-eyed and used to reading people, and truthfully he'd been using the trashy dragonfolk romance novel to gauge the taller man's reactions; sometimes it was just funny to fluster and catch others off guard. But when he gets sadness instead of a fluster, Lyney realizes he's hit something. He's not sure what, but clearly it's a sensitive spot. So, as gracefully as he can, Lyney nods and tucks the novel out of sight.]

You won't be disappointed, mon ami. And a wise decision, too; best not to overwhelm yourself, especially with new information, yes?

Ah, now forgive me, but I don't think I've had the pleasure of learning your name.

[haveaflare]

[Of course, he'd let his emotions and desire for exploration get the better of him and he'd completely forgotten to introduce himself. He turns from the shelf, bowing at the shoulder in greeting as well as apology.]

Of course, please forgive me. I am Dion of House Lesage.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

[House Lesage? That means nothing to Lyney, but the fact he's introducing himself as someone from a House at all makes Lyney realize he's dealing with a higher noble, or at least someone of high society. So Lyney offers a little bow of his own, though his has a bit more flourish to it.]

A pleasure to meet you, Dion of House Lesage. I'm known as the Great Magician Lyney, from the Court of Fontaine.

[haveaflare]

Dion, please. [With introductions past, there was no need for titles or prestige. Neither meant anything in this place regardless.]

But is a pleasure, Lyney, of the Court of Fontaine.
