[ Closing his eyes, relaxing more at the touch. ]

I promise that I'm not trying to be flattering.

[quiet for a long moment, watching him, not stilling his hand]

Has something been troubling you?

Tired, is all really.

[lightly teasing, but his tone is soft]

You shouldn't push yourself so hard.

It's hard to stop thinking.

[curls his hand around the back of Chariot's neck and tugs lightly, come up here]

What sort of things have been occupying your thoughts?

[ BUT I WAS COMFY okay shifting up then. ]

How to do something more here than just live from day to day.

[I'm not having this conversation with your face next to my dick okay]

[massaging lightly at the nape of Chariot's neck, curling a little closer to him]

You'd like to make a more significant effort to aid our cause here and support the livelihood of the heroes gathered to fight alongside us?

[ But convenient distraction methods. ]

Mm... I don't know if my intentions are quite as pure as yours, really, but yeah, that's about it.

[I have faith in your ability to be distracting in other ways]

I've found that sometimes when I'm unable to attend the games that feeling can grow.

I suppose that's the reason I've spent so much time with my notes as of late. I'd like to be sure that even if I cannot aid the heroes within the games I can contribute something that might prove useful in their time spent in Aather.

Although perhaps . . . if you speak to your patron, she may be able to say something of ways that your efforts can contribute outside of the games. It has been a while since we've had a large undertaking like creating the clinic or the gym.

Is there something that'd be necessary though? It's been hard to gauge that for me recently.

Speaking honestly I have been trying to think of the same for myself. It does prove to be a difficult task.

[shifts his hand, running his fingertips lightly across Chariot's scalp]

I think it would be best to speak to the heroes. Their lifestyles differ from ours greatly, and they might lack something that we cannot know of outside of seeking that information from them directly.

[ Closing his eyes, relaxing against him again. ]

I feel like that's the hardest part. Teams to me feel really insular and any connections they make off-team is because of connections from their lives before this.

[ Exhaaale and a weak smile. ]

I feel a little more like a vending machine than any kind of 'knight' usually.

[keeps running his fingers through, light and relaxing]

A knight is someone who works for the will of the people, even if the means within Aather are rather different than what I'm used to.

I don't think that you should discredit your charm, Dino. You're quite charismatic in your own right. Even if you may not be able to establish the same connection to someone as a member of their team or a person from their memories, I know that you can become someone that they can trust, someone who is more than just a source of quests and necessary items.
