[It's hard to tell what the gentleman is thinking as a pair of sunglasses cover half his face. From the tone of his voice it's easy to tell that he's exasperated, tired and pissed off. He's dressed in a very expensive business suit that is currently a bit singed, has some blood on it, and very rumpled. Clearly someone has been busy before they arrived here and hasn't had a chance to change.]

Another kidnapping? Really. Don't you people ever get tired of it?

I have to say it's pretty good for a kidnapping. I mean, I didn't even feel the transfer and that's damn hard to do.

[He pauses and looks around to get a better sense of his surroundings.]

Are you fair folk? It doesn't feel like Faery.

[That said, he shrugs dismissing the matter out of hand. Faery or not, he's still been kidnapped after all. That's what needs to be dealt with.]

Anyway. It'd be best to let me go back right now for everyone's sake. My father will be pissed off when he finds me missing and his temper is already frayed and my fiancee will be pissed off and her temper is even more frayed.

This seems like a nice place, if odd. So instead of pissing off the god of the dead and the warmage just let me go home and I won't mention it. This will save a lot of lives in the long run.

I've got enough on my plate already.

Please, don't add any more.

Is there any sort of government? Besides the deities?

Not that I've seen evidence of, thankfully.

Thankfully? Why would you say thankfully?

Because governments are useless at best, and outright dangerous at worst.

[Theo thinks about this statement. Technically speaking his family used to rule in a Theocracy and they would love nothing more than to bring it back that way. Which is how he was raised.]

That's because you've got mortals running the government. They're too short sighted to do anything properly or busy trying to get re-elected.

Oh, yes, it would be far better to have gods running a government. I can see no potential problems.

There's a stable governing force that will last for more than four to eight years. There's no political in fighting or bickering. You know who's in charge. You don't have to listen to the endless pandering and campaigns. There aren't any politicians.

Or politics really.

Yeah. That sounds good to me.

Lasting more than four to eight years is one of the least reassuring things I've ever heard. And knowing who's in charge with no potential for change sounds dangerously like a monarchy.

Father forbid a country has stability for more than a human's lifespan.

And monarchy's have the same problem as democracies in that they're also run by mortals.

I see many problems with governmental structures, but the mortality of the rulers may be one of the only benefits, in my mind. I'm afraid we aren't likely to agree.

We'll just have to agree to disagree as they say.

I guess that's why they say never discuss politics at a public function.

I find the discussion interesting, but you're right, it would be unlikely for us to see eye to eye on the matter.

It is interesting! But we are, are you say, going to go around in circles so it's probably best to drop it. You seem like a decent sort and I'd hate to make an enemy over something like politics.

A "decent sort"? That's new.

Why's that?

[Theo's idea of 'decent sort' is rather broad.]

I'm not overly well liked.

Ah. I haven't seen a reason for that yet.

You undoubtedly will.

Possibly. Though you shouldn't be so pessimistic.

I consider it realism to be aware of one's influence on people, whether it be positive or negative.

I'll give you that one. I've seen it happen enough.

Yes, if any of your wild claims are true, I imagine you have.

Even if they're not - they are- but even if they're not I've still could have seen it happen. My father isn't the best at making friends.

Of course not. I doubt "gods" often are.

I don't think it has anything to do with him being a god so much as him just not being very sociable.
