[Drew laughs at that.] Well then they should be givin' me the chance to show 'em!

[spellslots]

That's what you should lead with, cause it totally sounds like some kinda euphemism.

[Southern charm is obviously some kinda sex thing.]

[willinglychanged]

Wait, really? So if I start runnin' 'round askin' people if I can show 'em a little southern charm y'think I'll finally start getting laid? [Drew's eyebrows knit together in surprise at that, but hey it was a line, at least. One that might work, too.]

[spellslots]

I think if you went to like, any club and spent half an hour there you'd get laid, but sure, maybe the line'll help.

[Everyone here are sluts.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew just laughs at that, shaking his head a little.] So you trying to tell me y'got a lot of experience with those kindsa people here?

[spellslots]

Maybe just a little, but I've uh, spent most of my time here in a... thing? Relationship thing, I guess? [All his chill kind of goes out the window, because he's still bad at talking about this.] So it's not like I've been sleeping around a lot, you know?

[Nailed it.]

[willinglychanged]

Oh yeah? [Drew smiles at that.] Man you're lucky, I just can't do the whole relationship thing- [He waves his hands around in the air as if a relationship is some magical idea that's beyond him.]

[spellslots]

Fuck, uh, neither. That's why I'm not in one anymore. Got dumped cause I couldn't like, commit or whatever the fuck.

[He feels super awkward. And kinda guilty because that's really oversimplifying it.]

[willinglychanged]

Aw, really? [Drew looks at least consoling.] I'm sorry dude, that sucks- I kinda had the same thing, before I got here... I mean, there was more to it than my whole I hate commitment thing but yeah, it sucks.

[spellslots]

Uh, yeah, it's whatever, you know?

[It sucked, but he really should've expected it, and that's what frustrated him the most. He knows better than to get caught up in that kind of bullshit.

And because he's incapable of not deflecting with a joke:]

I'm saving myself for death now, anyway.

[what]

[willinglychanged]

Yeah, I know what ya mean... [Drew slowblinks at him, a little confused at the joke.] Well hey, if it works.... [Even if he was lowkey alarmed at the dark humour.]

[spellslots]

[Taako huffs a laugh; that wasn't quite the reaction he was hoping for, but he can roll with it.]

Been on a couple dates with the grim reaper, back home, he's a very handsome dude.

[willinglychanged]

Really? [Drew's jaw drops a little because well, they didn't really have a grim reaper back home and while all the legends may be true, Drew had never heard an outright confirmation of that one.]

[spellslots]

Yup, his name's Kravitz, tried to kill me and my friends but we squared that one away with his goddess so we're all good now. Real bad at pottery though.

[He tried his best.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew just stares at him gain, slowblinking once more.] I think I smoked too much before I walked here, man... [Which is also a possibility.]

[spellslots]

[That is a much, much better reaction, and Taako grins.]

You can handle a wizard elf, but a grim reaper is too much for you?

[willinglychanged]

I mean like, yeah... y'got a bunch of elves out there in the world but I thought the Grim Reaper was kinda fake man, who wants to think death is an actual person? [Because Drew did not, no thank you.]

[spellslots]

Well, if you wanna get right down to it, death is a goddess. The grim reaper just works for her.

[Life and death, really, but that's getting a little too deep into it.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew takes in a deep breath, a little confused about that.] Wait, shit, really? I leave all that divinity crap to the witches...

[spellslots]

Yeah, yeah, this kinda gets everyone. [Turns out gods aren't as active in most worlds. Weird.] But there are celestial, divine beings and I work for one too, I guess?

[willinglychanged]

You work for one? [He frowns at that.] I mean I work for a vampire so I guess I'm not exactly the most normal guy out there, but still...

[spellslots]

I'm her emissary, I think? I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention cause she like, threateningly cut some wool at me and it was the weirdest day of my life so I just went with what she was asking.

[No it wasn't, he's hard weirder days, but meeting Istus was definitely up there.]

[willinglychanged]

She threateningly cut some wool at you? The hell is threatenin' 'bout cuttin' up wool? Wait, is that some kinda elf thing... are y'all allergic to wool? [Drew found himself suddenly wondering if perhaps Taako couldn't wear sweaters; that would probably suck.]

[spellslots]

You've never had someone do something hella mundane at you but like, scary?

[Lup had perfected the art of it, honestly. She could make filing her nails look terrifying.]

[willinglychanged]

[He frowns, thinking about it a little.] Like... no. I mean, some things mundane people do are scary but I don't think I've ever had somethin' mundane scare me.
