[OMG Have you seen Logan yet?? We saw it last night and absolutely LOVED it and now I have even more feelings about Charles but I don't want to say anything if you haven't seen it!]
"It makes sense now, it retrospect," Aurus agreed. "When I first awoke its meaning felt far less than straightforward. Many of my kin had Wyld Hunts--personal quests to fulfill. I had mountain vistas. At first it wasn't even wanderlust. Even that only came with time.
"I can tell you that none of the Firstborn, not even those who fancied themselves skilled in interpreting the Dream, saw mine as portending anything like the life I've led. Mostly they saw me as the troublemaker who inspired my siblings to orgiastic experimentation...and at least one or two actual orgies." It probably said quite a lot about Aurus that he could deliver that line with a straight face, but there it was.
Meanwhile, the charr that they had been watching had moved a little further away from them, and their words no longer carried so clearly, but from the looks of things their disagreement was certainly heating up given the bared teeth and the snarls.
Near them, a translucent green sapling with a long "ponytail" of leaves approached with wide eyes, her mouth held open in the shape of an O and her hands raised to her face as she seemed to gasp in fear at the sight of the pair.
Aurus leaned close to Charles, pointing her out and saying in a low voice, "If I was a betting sylvari, I'd give you good odds that's one who will awaken believing that the first charr she sees is going to eat her. Or potentially launch her out of a trebuchet if there's one nearby."
