"Nah, I'm a very mean, violent, vocal drunk, and I don't like to act like that. I really shouldn't be here in the first place. I suffered from alcoholism a long time ago, and while I am recovered, I still got those addictive genes in me."
He shakes his head "The bottle is one of the deadliest demons anyone will ever encounter. If you don't want to share a drink I won't blame you, even if I'd be able to keep you under control." He stands up from the bar "If you shouldn't be here lets get going."
"Good idea." He stands up and heads outside with the Lumberjack. "Even if you could handle me drunk, everyone deserves me at my best, not my worst. You included."
The Lumberjack picks up his tree "That's the truth. Especially for a hero like yourself, you don't want your first impressions to be something like that."

"Yeah. I haven't touched the bottle for over a decade. Prison made it hard. People hit me all the time. I had to learn how to be tougher than anyone else, because I needed to stop an entire building of criminals from killing each other and me. That's where I learned about the weight of reputation. I inspire fear, not because I cause pain, but because when I fight, I win, and there is no moral high ground they can have. They can be equal, but never better. At least, not in their eyes."

The flower stops carving one of the sigils, a screech of metal heard as their etching thorn grinds to a halt. "I'm adding runes for the teleportation magic I told you about at the library. It's in Deep Speech, a language many aberrant spells are written in, and one I happen to know."

He nods, “That’s truer than anything else. I don’t know if I could have said it myself.” He begins moving back to the forest, his steps heavy as he heads for his cabin “You have to be tougher than anyone if you are going to be strong enough to save them all.”
