 He nods and makes her a vanilla oat milk latte. "This'll be three copper, if you're good for it."

 She pulls out a small purse and slides the coins across the table, as well as a tip of another one.

 He bows his head, counting the coins with his one eye as he does so. "Thank you very much, ma'am. I hope to see you again soon. Have a pleasant rest of your day."

 “You as well, I, I don’t believe I asked your name! How rude of me. My name is Kaia, may I have yours?”

 He opens his mouth, then pauses as a flash of suspicion and what might be disappointment crosses his face. "I will tell you my name. My name is Porter Gorta." He takes out a little card made of laminated paper and reads off of it. "I am required to inform you that I am the scion of a sin-marked bloodline, and that in approximately 33 years, 2 months, 8 days, 11 hours, 7 minutes and 55 seconds, I will be free of my ancestors' stigma. Until then, I am protected by no laws or sovereigns." His speech gets faster and more slurred as he goes on. He sounds like he's read this a thousand times and just wants it out of the way.

 “Sin marked? What did your ancestors do to give you such a harsh punishment?”

 “Sin marked? What did your ancestors do to give you such a harsh punishment?”

 He puts the card back in his pocket. "One person ruined their entire bloodline for about 800 years. Atticus Gorta, the Disgraced One. There are a million stories, and I don't know how many are true. The big charge is serial treason, since they basically did their own thing without the approval of any government. They were like, a super powerful wizard. The worst thing is that I'm compatible with their techniques, which means I'm a threat to national security, thus why I'm black-marked and barred from my homeland. Look," He opens his left eye, revealing a swirling, black-and-pink glass eye. "This prosthetic is based on the Uzumaki Scrapple, Atticus' greatest weapon. Mine is hardly that powerful, and it holds knowledge instead of actual malediction, but it's the same basic construction. It allows me to learn horrible things on a daily basis without becoming cursed or going mad."

 “Well Porter, I’ll make sure to call you if I ever find a cave full of forbidden lore.”

 He closes his left eye once more. "If you ever need me, I'll be glad to help. I'm a monster hunter too, by the way. That's why I made the eye in the first place. Learning about what fiends and undead will actually do to you is very unpleasant."

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

A little strugel with coffee-stained fur, black markings, and one tired eye (their right) is selling donuts and fresh-brewed coffee drinks at a little stand. He's got a myriad of syrups and toppings for the treats, and an advanced-looking contraption with different nozzles labeled with different brews, including a simple "Espresso Mode."

 a half-elf woman in shining silver armor approaches. "hello"

 The skinny stoat looks up. "Hey there. You got a favorite, or looking for an adventure?"
