[Xellos floats lazily, resting on air, eyes closed, seemingly having a nap. He stretches a moment, and then sits cross-legged in the air]

A question for all of those involved with magic in their respective worlds, how exactly does it work where you are from? Things always seem to work slightly differently in each new place, and of course there is always plenty of room for creative individuals to revolutionize its practice. If you would be so kind, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[He holds his chin, with a curious expression on his face]

For those lacking in magical talents, two simple riddles.

One tooth to bite,
he's the forests foe.
One tooth to fight,
as all Norse know.

What is it?

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes.

What does he weigh?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Uh... nope!

[Were you Gourry's offspring or something?]

.. What do you mean, 'no'? Hmnn.

[When it comes to riddles, perhaps.]

Oh -I- know now, an elderly lumberjack!

Interesting, but no.

[If it were Lina and Gourry's kid, the stupid would have been beaten out of them]

Do you give up?

[She frowns.]

.. I suppose.

Its an axe!

[He smiles]

Perhaps you'd do better with another one?

Like a magic axe? That's the most ridiculous answer I've ever heard.

[She then brightens, looking determined.]

Yes! I'll get it this time!

[And he switches back to public.]

I am always hungry,
I must always be fed,
The finger I touch,
Will soon turn red

[What. Wait a minute, she's seen that movie!]

An -alien-!

[ And Ella just starts laughing. If you want to mock her 'meat' response, she gets to mock your alien one. ]

An alien?

[Hattie rolls her eyes at Ella]

Watch a movie, Ella. I mean really, you're embarrassing me.

[ SIGH. Fine, she's going to go watch a movie. Disconnecting on her end with a huff. She's embarrassing YOU? PFF. ]

I don't even know what that is, but no.

[Hattie looks flabbergasted]

Wh- That's ridiculous how can that not be it, I -saw- it! It was this.. This little brown alien! It ate Reese's Pieces all the time! And its finger turned red all the time! How can that not be it???

Well, as I've never seen this movie, it wouldn't be really possible to be the answer.

I'll give you a hint. It is not any sort of creature.

I.. Wh.. Really?

[Hattie looks very disappointed. She was so sure she guessed it. But she gets a clue!]

Um.. A pers- er.. A ca-.

[Welp, she's stumped and looks dejected.]

I don't know..

The answer is fire. The key to riddles is approaching the words from a different angle, and not to take them at face value. Think of the different meanings, and try to put them together.

Fire? That doesn't make sense, you don't feed fi-

[Or DO YOU? Suddenly her eyes light up.]

Oh, I see! I get it now, that's quite clever!

[...]

Wait, that means Ella was right, doesn't it?

I'm glad you were able to understand.

[He shrugs, still smiling]

Yes, Ella was correct.

Ugh, really?

[Clearly not happy about that. Well, she clearly can't win this fight.]

Well, riddles aren't really my thing anyway. They aren't very practical for my needs. But it's an interesting talent, Mister....

Mmmmhmmm.

[He gives a little bow]

My name is Xellos the mysterious priest.

Oh my, that's an impressive name, Mister Mysterious Priest! I wonder, do you happen to know of a bishop named Frau?

No idea really.

I see. Well no matter~, thank you for the interesting lesson!

You are quite welcome.

[He inclines his head]

You have a most interesting cat, by the way.

[She is taken by surprise!]

.. Excuse me? Are you predicting my future or something?
