[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?

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.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

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..

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

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.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

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?

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

I'm glad you were able to understand.

[He shrugs, still smiling]

Yes, Ella was correct.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

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....

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

Mmmmhmmm.

[He gives a little bow]

My name is Xellos the mysterious priest.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

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

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

No idea really.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

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

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

You are quite welcome.

[He inclines his head]

You have a most interesting cat, by the way.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[She is taken by surprise!]

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

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

Not particularly, Ella invited me over not that long ago.

You were otherwise occupied, so I didn't get to meet you then.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

Oh, you're a friend of Ella's? [She appears to lose some interest.]

Well I wouldn't worry about it, really, I'm usually rather busy anyway. He's a khao manee, you know. Very rare.

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

I've only known Ella for a bit. She showed me around when I first arrived and told me of one of her adventures. I assisted her in return.

Yes, I spoke with him.

Re: [Video]

[blondandperfect]

[Oh, well that's ok then. She warms up to him again.]

Oh, yes, I see. I think she's a greeter or something. I forget.

[Suddenly, perplexed is Hattie!]

Wait, -spoke- with him? That's impossible, I've tried talking to him for days and he never spoke a word to me! What's your secret?

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

I see. And what do you do?

[He smiles playfully]

If I told you, it wouldn't be much of a secret now would it?

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

Oh, I just do this and that. Nothing important really.

H- Hey! That isn't fair, I'm the cat's owner! And I got it -because- I thought he could talk!

What did you two even talk about? [...] He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

You got the cat because you thought it could talk? Wouldn't a test have been in order before hand?

Oh this and that, food amongst other things.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

Well it would have if I had known that cats -don't- talk here. I mean it makes sense that not all of them wear boots. Well, with the exception of Danny for the talking thing.

[She then smirks]

Sounds about right. What a lazy cat. Well, since it turns out he can talk, I suppose I'll just have to try a little harder?

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

You certainly could, though I'm not sure how well it would work without magic.

[He rubs the back of his head]

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[Hattie frowns.]

Oh. Well I suppose that makes sense then. [But she brightens.] Mister Priest, would you consider putting your talents for sale, then? I'd be interested in hiring an interpreter.

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

Perhaps.

[He just likes teasing you a little Hattie, the negativity between you and Ella is delicious]

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[.. It's true! *sob* It really is sinfully delicious! When suddenly something clicks.]

Wait a minute.. When you 'assisted her in return', was talking to Lucifurr part of that?

[Video]

[that_is_asecret]

That... is a secret!

[He puts his finger to his lips]
