He simply listened, apparently unconcerned about her reply, until a few seconds after she, and he was sure now it was female, though WHY he wasn't sure yet, finished talking. "Son of a BITCH."<br/><br/>He sat down, and slammed his forehead against the palms of his hands, before he looked back up at her. "Alright, I am not sure what my freaking character level is, or even class, but clearly that was either a natural 20 on the damn random knowledge plus intuition check, or someone is metagaming the damn story pretty hard. And who the hell tosses an unknown variable into the mix and... never mind, forget I asked that, everyone would. But still a couple higher existence beings, hoping I can maybe tilt the power balance of that war, just by being magicless? Can magic even affect me?<br/><br/>Before you I haven't seen anything, other than the 'platform' the Fair Ones were using, that couldn't be explained with fast hands and a faster mouth. And even that platform could have been glassteel, a hypothetical material with the properties of steel and the clarity of good glass.<br/><br/>You, however, are a walking, talking violation of three base level scientific laws that I know of, or rather three different types of violation to the square cube law. You are simply too BIG to work like a normal creature that I understand, and that was BEFORE you shrank down. Near as I can tell, and being generous, you should have the density of at LEAST solid lead, and be sinking into the damn rock. Your original size should have collapsed under its own weight, and don't even get me started on those wings and your size. You are simply too BIG to have functional wings, unless a majority of your form is a hydrogen gas storage organ. We did solve the fire dragon breath problem, two chemicals, stored in different glands under the tongue, compress the glands and it fires the two chemicals into each other in front of you, forming a sort of natural napalm line. Electric breath would a similar function to the electric eel, though not sure how to 'fire' it without it grounding into your mouth, and acid could be regurgitated stomach acid. Frost is a mystery though, and I won't get started on the more esoteric breath weapons in a couple stories."<br/><br/>He stopped, and rubbed his forehead, wondering why he was actually enjoying himself. He stayed silent for a moment, before looking back up at her. "Alright, gonna stay in for the long haul, but what do I get to help with that war? I am used to an entirely different society, different way of thinking, and I AM going to offend someone important without a guide. I already HAVE offended the Queen of that Court, whichever one it is, likely Summer or Spring, possibly Fall though less likely. I am working off stories, centuries old, dozens of cultural shifts outdated, and have no way to tell fact from fiction, truths from outright lies or mistranslations or incorrectly recorded information from the beginning. I can provide another way of looking at things, but my entire way of fighting is based off of weapons that don't seem to appear here, unless there are crossbows, in which case it is far further down the tech line than I expected. For the narrative's sake, I don't even speak the most common tongues."<br/><br/>He forced himself to stop, realizing he was almost yelling at a right hand to a dragon god, but it was all starting to hit home, and he had damn little to hold onto to keep it from seeming like a rip tide, trying to drag him out into the sea of madness and drown him there, even if he was enjoying himself. "And that all assumes this is real, and not a figment of my mind, finally shattered from the trauma of the war that made me into a so called hero, but sure does not feel like it from here. Hell, hero even has an extra definition back home. Hero, someone who gets others killed.<br/><br/>But back to the question before I started slipping. What do I get to help you and your master do the dirty work? A guide would help, one that is sane by the local standards and able to help me avoid missteps, and a couple weapons from my world for when I have to kill something would make this infinitely easier."
