- [12:25] <Jussika> It's the next day, after the little event with the trollkin outlaw. Jussika's spent most of it helping her trolls recuperate, and introducing Truk. Right now, she's letting him and Grok play and practice some... as she goes to find her father, probably near the krielstones. It's where she'd expect him to be, anyway.
- 01[12:28] <@SpaceThor> That's exactly where he is, looking over some of history. "Jussika Bodika Firetongue, what the fuck were you thinking."
- 06[12:30] * Jussika winces a bit. "That I wasn't about t' get shot, mostly," she says. "I fucked it up; but at least we survived, got the loot and another troll. Truk and Grok are gettin' along fine." She sighs a bit. "Sorry, dad."
- 01[12:30] <@SpaceThor> "It ain't about me or you. It's about you runnin' off ta play soldier instead of learning your damn heritage."
- 01[12:30] <@SpaceThor> "What crimes are necessary to outlaw someone from a kriel?"
- [12:31] <Jussika> "I, umm..." She looks to the side. "I don't know," she admits. "Never paid attention. Figured it wasn't likely t'come up when I was kid. Haven't had a chance to ask since I got back."
- 01[12:32] <@SpaceThor> "If you had, then you'd know that there's only two ways to get outlawed from a kriel. Secret murder and betrayal of the kriel as a whole."
- 01[12:32] <@SpaceThor> He scans down the krielstone, looking for something, then finds it. "Here, this is the incident that outlawed that particular outlaw."
- 06[12:33] * Jussika grunts, stepping up to read it.
- 01[12:34] <@SpaceThor> He points at a section of runes that detail an incident where a troll was murdered, and the murderer did not step forward and justify himself until after he had been caught. The one who found the body was one Amos Firetongue.
- [12:35] <Jussika> She frowns, reading over the runes carefully. "Who was he? And who'd he kill?"
- 01[12:37] <@SpaceThor> "He has no name anymore. Something you'd also know if you knew our laws. And he killed a romantic rival. They were both courting the same woman."
- 06[12:37] * Jussika grunts again. "So he's got it out for you 'cause you found him out?"
- 01[12:37] <@SpaceThor> "Instead of doing the honorable thing and claiming responsibility for his actions, he hid the body, hoping that we'd never find it. But I stumbled across it while going out to fish."
- 01[12:38] <@SpaceThor> He nods. "If I'd never found that body we might have all just assumed he went off to be a merc. He'd been talking about going off to make some money and bring it back here for a few months."
- [12:40] <Jussika> She ponders for a moment. "... Damn."
- [12:43] <Jussika> "Who were they fightin' over, anyway? She still in the Kriel?"
- 01[12:44] <@SpaceThor> "Yeah. She's still here. Not going anywhere these days."
- 01[12:46] <@SpaceThor> "Anyway, that's enough of a history lesson for one day." He forces himself upright. "Go tend to your fullbloods, make sure they don't tear shit down."
- 06[12:47] * Jussika grunts. "Will do, dad." SHe look sover the Krielstones for a moment and grimaces. It's obvious she has more questions... but it's also obvious her dad isn't gonna speak more. Stubborn old man. So she turns to go tend to Truk and Grok.
