Now, I'm sure we've done something like this before sometime ago, but you know how it is; people come, people go, and we get new faces all the time. So it's a little hard to keep track of y'all sometimes.

But here we are, and I've god a question.

There's a good lot of us that got magic in us before ALASTAIR made, ah, any offerings as such. Maybe even got some magic in your world, sure.

Suffice it to say, I got some interest in what kind there is -- and what magic is like where you're from. How it works. The variety, the limits.

Always good to know about the trade elsewhere, as it were.

[fourscores]

Somehow I doubt you'd tell me even if they did. [A sigh.] You hardly mentioned that the rewards included giving magic to people.

[fateality]

Sorry. [NOT SORRY] You just didn't seem real interested when I brought up th' rewards, so I let it go.

[fourscores]

Of course. And yet, you didn't even bother mentioning it when I asked about magic. And here I thought we could be friends.

[fateality]

Jhin, tsk tsk. Don't be so sensitive. You asked about magic, I said I didn't really know. You're makin' a mountain out of a mole hill here. Suppose I just thought you already knew that magic was a possible reward. It's somethin' I was told, in any case.

Trust me: I wouldn't leave a fellow Runeterra man behind. There's just you an' me, after all.

[fourscores]

What can I say? Magic is important. I was more interested in how to return to Runeterra, than learning what rewards they could offer me here. Not that I need more magic, but it is important to know.

You know that's not quite what I've heard about you. The leaving people behind, though I imagine that's a sore subject.

[fateality]

I believe that you can request to be returned in 'bout six months. That's all that I know, though. If there's another way to get back, I couldn't tell ya. On the bright side, far as I know, time doesn't pass back there until we return to it.

What's so sore about it? [His tone remains light, indifferent. That's what we call a pokerface. Or voice. Whatever.]

[fourscores]

That is fortunate, it would be a shame to return home to find it more in shambles than it already is.

Leaving your partner behind, having him break out wanting to kill you. You tell me.

[fateality]

Hell, you know it would be.

Typical of a sore loser, what can I say? [His tone gives nothing away, at the very least.]

[fourscores]

Can't take your eyes off it for even a moment without someone trying to start a war.

You leaving is on him then?

[fateality]

Wanna wager that Noxus and Demacia are fussin' at each other again?

I'm sure he'd say differently. Do you really even care about that silly rumor?

[fourscores]

Are they ever not?

If there's any truth behind it, perhaps.

[fateality]

They might knock it off for the holidays. Maybe.

I guess there's no way for you to know for sure. Just my word. An' rumor has it, even that's not good enough.

[fourscores]

You actually believe that?

Can you blame them for that? Should I get to know you better, then perhaps I may be able to trust your word.

[fateality]

Nah. But it's a cute thought.

Jhin, I'm hurt. [When he laughs, it should be clear that he is not.] All right, I'll bite. What do you wanna know about little ol' me?

[fourscores]

Hardly. Does the Noxian army even allow holidays?

Now it's not that easy, Fate... Mmmm, but since you're offering, why Twisted Fate?

[fateality]

Sure they do. Everyone celebrates Snowdown.

The first bet I ever made is the one that I lost, and I had to change my name as a result.

[fourscores]

Consider me surprised they're even capable of that.

You had to change it to that one in particular?

[fateality]

Winner got to pick the name, so I guess so.

Why'd you choose Khada Jhin?

[fourscores]

If you say so. Quite a man of your word, if you've kept it for so long.

[Consider him skeptical.]

You tell me what it means, and maybe I'll tell you.

[fateality]

I thought about it. Been awhile since I brushed up on my Ionian, but...

Tell me. Why golden excellence?

[fourscores]

[He chuckles. Definitely going to have to keep an eye on Fate.]

Gold is my favorite colour.

[fateality]

Well, can't fault you on that. Gold is a mighty fine selection.

Anythin' else?

[fourscores]

I suppose I've been called a bit of a perfectionist. But really I like the sound of it.

Should there be more to it? I'm afraid it's less exciting than the reasoning behind your name.

[fateality]

Just wasn't sure if there was more to it is all. [He definitely thinks there's more to it.]

Well, was there somethin' else you wanted to ask me?

[fourscores]

If I was going to change my name, it at least had to sound good.

About yourself? Not unless there's anything you want to tell me. How's the uniform?
