Are these names blessed names? Or are they normal names?

I don't have a flask, special spring. Just a scabbard for my sword. Isn't it unholy to take from you?

>>312620
Noce is a blessed name.

dude, the spring itself is telling you to do it. pretty sure that is a loophole. cup your hands and take a sip.

You want us along for the ride, or not?

Since you are a one-eyed monster, you will be called... Richard.

>>312620
Only if we haven't given you permission.
We don't give our blessing to just anyone.
But since you asked so nicely, we shall accompany and watch over you.
To do that, you must take a portion of water.

Anyways, Hi

Cool. So, everyone a cyclops or just you?

>>312640

You'll get used to it.

Now, let's hear some details about this journey we're making.

>>312662

We're not going to leave for a long while yet. Now that we're in, we can permeate more permanent structures and stick with this worthy seeker for the duration.

When the journey is done, we can return to the spring by having Richard bathe in it. He will need to go through a purification rite before he does so, but compared to the rigors of the journey ahead such a rite is trivial.

>>312640
Ohh, nice. So, what can we help you with now and all that? Also, what with the eye?

I can hear you, digested spring water!

A cyclops is not common here. Humans live in the steppes.

As a cyclops, I have a lot of special names, but not people names. My names are things like "runt" and "bug-eye" and "mutant" and maybe "little money" if they're feeling generous.

My dream is to have an adventure just like in the books! I don't have a goal, but I'm already a quarterway through a heroic cycle!

And then, and then, I thought before that, I should be travelling! And I've never been south before, so I'm sure there was some sort of adventure there!

hold on, we are magic water, we haven't read any books.

...Wait... "Bug-eye"? That doesn't even make sense. Lets call you Richard instead. Anyways, what kind of skills do you have?

>>312956
Oh, cool. Well, Gregory, you're stuck with us now and your life will never be boring again.

Just remember, "May you live in interesting times" is considered a curse.

If we are starting this journey, we are going to do it the right way, which involves forcing you to do dangerous thing to make you a man-cyclops-thing. Take the road and arm yourself with your main weapon, which would be the cotton sash, an excellent weapon for people who take to quiet strangulations for their choice of kill. ...You're main weapon is the sash right?

Kneel to show respect and subservience, then state that you were merely passing through and apologize for any inconvenience.

Apologize and ask how much of the mountain is their territory. Where would it be acceptable to travel?

you could also leap on his back and stab him until he dies.

Huh, horse-people being at home in mountainous terrain? How counter intuitive.

Anyway unless you have time to tell us what you know of centaur culture and there general ideologies and stereotypes, the general best way to proceed would be to apologize stating ignorance of such things, then ask assistance as to correcting your error, insofar as him directing you of the various ways out of said territory. Also flatter him.

Centaurs are herd beasts. They operate in harem units with a dominant stallion maintaining dominion over several mares. Male colts stay with their mothers until puberty, when they either challenge the stallion for control of the harem or they go off alone.

This one looks like a loner, unable to claim a harem of his own yet. If you want to mock him without seeming to do so, wish him and his wife good health.

STOP STUTTERING. WHO THE HELL STUTTERS ANYWAY. You want to be a big man and go out on adventures and stuff like that?! You've said you've read the books, right?! Well then you need to be A HERO. And if you've read the books, you know how a hero is and how a hero acts and what a hero does. DO THAT. STUTTERING IS NOT PART OF THAT.

Explain to him matter-of-factly that you know, or at least you're pretty sure, that you're a good and decent person, and that shows that cyclops can be good and decent people. Which means that the preconception that they're otherwise is wrong, and that 'heroics' is simply a manner of which to advertise the truth to people who are currently operating under misinformation.

>>318299
Yes!

:3

you may as well ask what's up with the special spring. cause we forget everything if we aren't talking to someone so he may tell you what blessings we can actually do.

Ask if there are anywhere you might be able to do some heroic deeds, or at the very least do some hard, somewhat rewarding work so you can build some muscle to help you perform bigger, more heroic acts (and hopefully keep from being mugged again).

Ask why he keeps bleeding whenever you talk. Put on your most innocent trollface.

Hey now, he said he has responsibilities. It'd be rude to bug him about this.

But y'know, an escort to where you're going probably wouldn't take too long. You can ask for that.

No, it's best that you respect his wishes. Tell him that you understand that he has responsibilities, and you know that since you're trying to be the protagonist of a heroic story it's best you go alone anyway. It's okay that you don't know the area, aren't aware of the dangers of the world, and aren't exactly well equipped to defend yourself... You're sure you'll be okay

"No."

Tell him that it's a direction, like "up" or "sideways"

South is rightward when you face into the rising sun. The rising sun is east, the setting sun is west. The left when you face the rising sun is north. People say out west, up north, down south, and back east. That's what he meant when he said "above", he meant it's to the north. When something is halfway between being one direction and another, you just stick the words together. So northeast just means it's halfway between being north and being east.

Ask who the new people are.

Do you recognize the voice of the other centaur? Maybe you should get down and hide in the underbrush until they're done talking. Don't cause any trouble. You probably want to ask Autumn Colt some questions on how to act in front of other centaurs afterwards.

Like maybe you can get a mountain guest pass or something.

What shoud I doooooooooooo?

He sounds like he's going to bug him more and not leave, but if he can handle it I'd rather stay hidden or he might get in trouble...

this guy is a douche. talking to him would be more trouble than its worth, remain hidden.

Maybe sneak around behind him and put a hand on his leg. That might remind him to calm down without you having to show yourself.

>>335294
Let them have their little fight. This one might be important too Autumn so it's best to let him be.

>>335298
what?! no,never sneak up on something with horse legs, he could get started and kick you to death.
i say pop out and go RAR!

>>335294
Remain hidden, if one of the others notices you and calls you out just claim to have been passing through without knowledge of the exact boundries of their territory when the three passed by and you hid out of fear, and try not to get your friend there in trouble unless he insists he knows you.

>>335294
You're a hero, aren't you? Sneak around and jump on that black centaur's back!

Their relationship is something that's been between them for quite a time, so it's not as if this is something new. This might be a new line the one has crossed, but all in all it's not your business to butt in. You might, however, wish to keep low and move around so that if your friend runs off you'll be in front of him.

"...Hurry up. I want you off this mountain by nightfall."

he got punched! give him a hug and say you are sorry he got hurt for you.

Tell him that you are sorry that he has to endure such abuse, and that you too are something of an outcast, but you're certain that he'll grow stronger because of it and surely find his place in the, uh, herd.

>>338329
Hug him and say that you're sorry.

>comfort and apologize

"I'm sorry I made you take me past here. I feel like a big pile trouble. I'm always a big pile of trouble."

He stretches his arm and plants his spear.

"I'm trying my best to be a big help, but all I'm doing is bothering people, no matter what."

"But I think, even if you're a big trouble, if you can help people too, that's alright. Even if you don't fit in, if you really try to make people's lives easier, you'll be liked. So even if someone calls you something you hate and treats you badly, if you prove to them you can make their lives nice, then they'll be nice back. Because that's nice. You always have to think of other people's happiness, because if you just try to make yourself happy you'll just make everyone dislike you."

That's the first time I saw him smile.

"Oh, uhmmm...Well, when I lived with grandmama, she read me a lot of stories of heroes. And instead of fighting evil cyclops and stuff, they fought dragons and witches and wizards and demons. When they saved the kingdom or a village from the bad guys, everyone loved them and gave them gifts. So I thought if I was a hero, they'd at least appreciate me...Stop laughing!"

Well I'm guessing he'll want to part ways, so make sure to thank him for his help and express your highest hopes for things going better for him back with his herd.

>>338403
We will just have to make sure you are the bestest hero and get all the gifts, Noce. All of them.

Okay, so, just make sure that that lantern lit path you're going down isn't human territory. Now would be a terrible time for bandits.

"Thank you for everything. I'm really sorry for being such a bother."
"I don't remember saying anything of the sort."
"Even so."

"Are you sure you don't want to camp in the woods until sunrise?"
"No. I'd rather travel by night, when everyone is either asleep or can't see me in the lighting."
"What about the lamps?"
"I'll go around them!"
