TW: Normalized Sexual Assault

Jorlan tries (and fails) to charm Zaz to get back in his good graces

  • Zaz catches on and says there is something he can do for him - then reveals that he's making Jorlan a prosthetic for his hand
    • Jorlan says "I don't understand" and Zaz infodumps about his inventions; when Jorlan asks why, Zaz says they're friends
  • Zaz says he doesn't have to do "the submissive act" and if it makes Jorlan feel better to hear it, his bedroom eyes have "appeased" Zaz
    • Jorlan accidentally lets slip that he was worried about being punished for upsetting various leaders in the group

End TW

  • Zaz gives a sincere apology for what he's said about Jorlan's disability in the past; Jorlan doesn't think he deserves it
    • Zaz also reveals that he's hard of hearing; Jorlan already knew about the hearing aids from Velkynvelve, and says they can communicate in Elvish Sign if necessary
    • Zaz also tells him about how avariel elves can communicate with their wings

after such a draining conversation, Jorlan seeks out Skjorn

  • Jorlan how he can repay him for everything he's done; Skjorn says all he has to do is be himself

Jimjar approaches Zaz with the intention of making amends for betting on him

  • Jimjar suggests a bet at his own expense, rigged in Zaz's favor
  • Zaz agrees to the bet and Jimjar sneaks a coin into his pocket as a "down payment"
