[Open] Toy debates

[wardeneructate]

WHO: Oghren and whoever
WHAT: Oghren is looking for toys or games for kids. For reasons.
WHEN: Various points during the month
WHERE: Market
NOTES: Oghren. Really he's the main warning you need in this.

When one was thinking about a very drunk dwarf who was rough around the edges and more than a little gross and perverted, one did not usually expect to find said dwarf in the market looking around at different toys and games for children. Yet this was where Oghren was for most of this month, studying the different things there and grumbling to himself as he debated whether one was better than another. Would this be fun? Would anyone want something like this one here?

Crossing his arms, he stared at one stand, looking back and forth between a board game and what looked like a wooden puzzle that made a duck. One of those brain teaser things that he obviously he would never be able to solve.

"Felsi's better at this than I am," he mumbled before noticing someone watching him. "Looking at a free show here?"

Okay maybe he was a little moody because he hated being so bad at this. Don't mind him.

[ooc: Oghren is looking for toys/games to send to his kid! Don't mind him being moody though. He's just having issues with the fact that he feels like a failure of a dad for not knowing how to toy shop.]

"Good. I'm glad," he smiled, honestly happy that he had helped out on this. It was illuminating, to say the least, seeing Oghren like this. Who knew the walking fart and belch cloud had such a side to him? It looked good on Oghren, he thought. Softened him a bit, in a good way, even if it was only for the duration of this conversation.

"What's your kid's name?" he asked.

"Bartab. Good solid name."

He picked up one of the puzzles and tried to figure it out. Not that he was sure why he was trying since he'd never figure it out but he felt he had to at least give a try. Just to say he did that much anyway.

There is a pause as once again he squints at Oghren.

He doesn't want to judge. He doesn't want to be that type of person. But... Bartab? Really? Bar-tab? Like as in a bar tab? Something you rack up, at a bar, over drinks? He squinted for just a moment, as if wondering if the other was pulling his leg. Yet Oghren seemed honestly devoted to his child, so why would he give him a ridiculous name? Maybe it actually meant something, and the Common happened to sound like something you probably should not name your child.

"What does it mean?" he decided to ask, considering how Oghren described it. He was to curious not to.

"Bar tab."

Yep. He said it. Like that tab you get at a bar. And he wasn't about to say that it was anything other than that. (Even though it was but gotta keep those feeling things bottled up.)

"I... okay, I have to ask this - why?"

Because surely his mother did not agree to that. Surely not? Or... well he had no idea who the mother was or what her temperament was. Hell, she had slept with Oghren, so he expected someone of a similar ilk.

"Why not? Seems a good name to me."

And a good way to keep people from thinking he was some kind of sap for what he really named his child. That was honestly another story entirely though. One he wasn't sure he wanted to go into now until he got to know this kid better.
