"You told me you were the son of someone called Ornstein the Dragonslayer. So, I got curious. I looked through the Dojo archives, and dug around. I found some things, cross referenced with my resources, and found a little more."

"You looked me up? That's not weird."
-
"Well, let's be honest, you beat the shit out of me. If someone did that, wouldn't you want to try and know more about what they were capable of?"
-
[b]Nathaniel chuckles[/b] "You think so? Yet you still won. Hehe. Congratulations by the way."
-
"Thank you. And yes, you got me pretty good. I've only been beaten worse than that and still won by one other person. And I think that fight stopped because neither of us could move, and I did just a [i]little[/i] bit more damage."
-
"Huh. Just a tiny bit?"
-
"I'm surprised we weren't dead. Literally all either of us could do is whisper."
-
"So how the hell did you survive?"
-
"You know that red armor and black sword that formed whenever you stabbed me? Okay, that thing gives me protection, access to a little magic, and slightly heals me. I finished our fight with it at base power. Now take that power, multiply it about 300-fold, and you have somewhere in the ballpark of what I finished that fight with. I think that was all that saved me, along with the copious medical attention."

JJ tilts his head, and talks to him in a inquisitive manner. "What?"
-
"I didn't understand any of that power talk."
-
"You know who the Cobalt Phoenix was?"
-
"I've heard the stories, yeah."

-
"Well shit that must've been quite the fight then. Wish I coulda seen it"

Edited by jj1042: 11/25/2016 8:07:23 PM"If you did that, you may have gotten caught in it." JJ then shakes his head, as if trying to shake a memory or realign his train of thought. "That's enough of my boasting, though. The point is, you've got nothing to worry about. I've been hurt a lot worse than what that dagger did, so you're fine." He pauses for a moment, then speaks again. "Although, getting my toe shot off did piss me off a bit. I managed to fix what was left and replace what wasn't in the medbay, though."
-
"Yeah, definitely sorry about that."
-
"Don't sweat it, it's fine now."
-
"Thank you JJ. Truly. I am grateful to you for your forgiveness"
-
"No problem. Apologies if I sat there and talked your ear off, but that's my nature sometimes. Anyway, I'm off for my next battle. See you around." And with that, JJ turned and began to walk away.

"Farewell, Vernon."
