Former arena champion
“Only lost once. On purpose. She was cute.”
Seafarer
"I built a ship with no nails, no crew, and no sail - Just dreams, rope, and a dinner bell.
Sailed it into a storm, danced with lightning for a bit like an old friend, ya get me? Then taught a mermaid how to weld. Weekend gig.”
Temporary court chef
“Spice is just storytelling through soup, you feel me? Once cooked curry for a lord wif one hand tied behind my back 'cos The other was juggling blades for the halftime act.
Brewed 'im a coffee so good it cured amnesia for the geeza, Then forgot where I put the cup. Happens."
