This is a catch-all contact post for Zelos Wilder/Kaneis Major in warforged. Please put the style of contact (in-person, mail, scrying, messenger pigeons - whatever) and/or location in the subject line!
Yep. I mean...even a person you love with all your heart can get on your nerves sometimes. The stasis helped keep couples or families from wanting to constantly punch each other in frustration or far worse.
Now imagine all of those people who are weird in their stories being around my age. Adults, we're all pretty weird. No age is going to stop or change the levels of weird either.
Ha, good point. When you put it that way, I kinda wish I got a hibernation from time to time.
[Nevermind he mostly just seems to sleep in the Sanctum]
Really? Even after, like, ten thousand years or something- people don't learn that they'll get in trouble if they go around without pants or claim their some...holy messiah or whatever?
I think it does help keep everyone a little more sane. It doesn't stop stupidity but every little bit helps in keeping the majority sane.
[She's going to smile and try very hard not to chuckle. ...Alright she's good.]
No, not all the time. I remember one time before I retired there was this couple. Young couple, not yet married but I think they did get married a few centuries later...they got into a fight. One stormed off to go calm down and the other decided to have a drink or five. ...You know I'm guessing you can figure out how well that ended for everyone.
I hear they started a drunken fight. A few strings of curses too but by the time I got there they had collapsed onto the ground and were laying there, making jokes about their fight and laughing. I had few situations where I was that confused and didn't know what to do. We ended up helping them get back to their place and reminding them that they should watch the alcohol consumption, watch their volume...and try not to punch each other too much.
Me? [She'll do her best to mock being offended It only lasts for a few seconds before she shrugs.]
I think that it's shorter than you'd expect for someone my age. The bad news is that I break the idea that some people have of the old, wise and patient person. The good news is that I don't feel the need to blast anyone with lightning.
Oh, don't worry. All the old people I know are the opposite of that, so I never got that idea in my head. [Stupid, impatient jerkwads is more fitting for them]
[A weak, dry, laugh] Oh yeah, that is good news. I feel very comforted.
Really? When we landed on Azeroth most people seemed to think that older people were supposed to be wise, guiding people. Help the younger generation out and such.
[Sorry Zelos. She's going to laugh again.] You know, I think you look a little less like someone who wants to sulk and be ashamed. I'd say that's an improvement.
Oooh I don't know. I hear sometimes people are good at helping others out without always making it obvious they're doing so. It might happen more often than we think.
Yeah, distractions do help. I know between the blood elf and all of this no one is in a great mood. [Herself included but she's gotten good at repressing stuff.] If we all have to work together it's important we're all doing okay...or as close to okay as possible.
You think so? [Zelos...knows that wasn't the case in the slightest. Every adult that hadn't been paid to be around him never had the least bit of interest in helping him, subtly or not. But that's too personal for Zelos to share, so he'll pretend to agree] ....Maybe.
Yeah, let's not all go off the deep end. [an awkward pause, he's not used to someone trying to cheer him up] ...Thanks.
I like to think it, at least. [Otherwise she needs to acknowledge that there's more than a few issues with the way the Draenei function and teach the younger generation. Who wants to admit these sort of things? Not either of them.]
You're welcome. If you ever feel like punching someone again, you're free to come talk to me instead.
I would rather try talking things out instead of trying to heal jaws. It seems like a better way for everyone to get along, doesn't it? Having someone who will listen to you when someone says something stupid and upsetting.
Why you say that is if the thick-headed people can't have good ideas! You'd be surprised. Not that old people aren't thick-headed. A couple of us old folks are only somewhat thick-headed. [So says the thick-headed, stubborn old lady.]

[he listens to the story. There's a small smile despite himself.]
Drunken serenading or fights?

Heh, they probably just had to get it out of them. Some people are like that!
no subject
I think everyone is like that at some point. Who doesn't get frustrated with people at some point? No ones patience and tolerance lasts forever.
no subject
Yeah? You sure? You're not just trying to say you got a short fuse yourself, are you?

Heh, you think so? Ah, I guess I just needed a distraction.

You sure? It might be easier to heal a jaw than listen to me try to talk, I'm just saying.

Try and take my word on it. After all, I'm more then old enough to have a good idea of which works better...most of the time.

You sure? No offense, I've met some pretty thick people who lived a long time.

[Not like he knows THAT many super old people. Just the other angels who well, he avoided when he could for many reasons. But he stretches a little]
Anyway, I guess since my moping is over, I should starting heading to that elf village huh.
