[Liem would not have thought crisping a glove made of plants to be the sort of activity that would require one to be showy about, so what this little quip says to him is that this man doesn’t actually need much of an excuse. He makes a note to meet this gentleman with the liking for fire somewhere uncrowded if he does ever volunteer something for him to torch. You know, as a friendly little bonding activity.]
I found choosing difficult, yes.
[He’s not going to explain his entire grisly history with being forcibly indoctrinated by a world-ending tyrant back when he’d first been taken from his own home. If his new acquaintance has been lucky enough to skip that entire bit of unpleasantness, he sees no reason at all to dredge it up.]
No one leaned on me to make a choice, so I spent several weeks just… getting my bearings. But it’s difficult to get anything done in this place with no affiliation.
[Also not having access to magic was a little inconvenient, but that hadn’t been much of an issue for most of the time he’d spent unharmonized. Right up until he’d spent an entire night in a wood full of horrible monsters and realized that, in fact, not having access to any of his magic was an issue after all.]
I quite liked my home; I’d like to see it again. So, I decided to lend my services to the Tribune in order to learn more about his sect. After that, it was quite simple.
