Come now, you've made this too easy for me. Unless, that is, you are very, very good at hiding your murderous urges from the being who's shared soul and mind with you.

I should have suspected my partner would know the truth right away.

[glacius]

It really wasn't fair for me to play on the same level as anyone else, anyways. [Glacius waves a hand in a mock-aloof manner. He just wanted to participate--you know, as he always likes to be involved.

He then lowers his head and lifts his brows as a thought occurs to him.] So tell me something about you that I don't know.

[tongueamok]

I'm not sure what there is to tell.

[Glacius knows a lot about him, let's be fair. And he lives a rather boring life.]

[glacius]

Anything. Guilty pleasure, rarely-recounted memory, mundane fact... I'd accept any little tidbit. [And Carlisle knows a lot about his alien, chief among the many facts being that he is not one to be deterred.] Come now. I'll tell you something about myself, if that adds incentive.

Well... I remember when I was very young, my father took me into the woods. When we were far from town, we crossed paths with a great horned elk. The beast was taller than either of us, and looked at my father and me without an ounce of fear in his eyes.

I recall that I was transfixed, and asked my father if he would make me a bow from the horns of a beast like that someday. He promised he would, but I suppose it's better now that he didn't, given I never learned how to properly use one.

[Glacius goes quiet, listening intently and trying to imagine what that moment must have been like. It's a little difficult, given that he's not entirely familiar with what an elk actually is, but something with a crown of horns like that must have been impressive in its own right. He smiles a little... he's always wary when Carlisle's family gets brought up as he's acutely aware how the loss has affected his partner, but this sounds like a good memory nonetheless.] Wild beasts like that can often be quite elusive. It must have been quite something to have that chance encounter--and to share it with your father, nonetheless. Nature is impressive and awe-inspiring in its own right; it can be easy to forget that when you live so far away from it. I must admit it is hard to imagine you asking for a weapon, averse to conflict as you are... but if it is a token of that moment then I can understand.

And that is not a bad idea. I know you're not one for hunting, but... if we ever encounter some grand beast together, maybe then we could make you something from its remains. [Glacius suggests this in a hopeful but casual sort of manner, currently having no idea what a shared hunt or gift of that manner actually means in his partner's culture!]
