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!
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.]

Yeah? You sure? You're not just trying to say you got a short fuse yourself, are you?

[Or...something. And ah- ]
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.
no subject
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.
