WAR TABLE MISSION: People of Riftwatch

[bouchonne]

WHO: Diplomacy interviewers and interviewees
WHAT: As outlined in this ooc post, Diplomacy members have been asked to interview other members of Riftwatch to gather information so they can have pamphlets written about them.
WHEN: Whenever
WHERE: Diplomacy office
NOTES: None as of yet

The Diplomacy office has a rather nice set-up: there are a few comfortable chairs and couches, and the offices themselves are well-supplied with coffee, tea, and drinks of a stronger nature. So, at the very least, the interviewers and their subjects will feel relatively comfortable during their conversation.

If things go according to plan, each interviewer will be set up in the office when their interview subject arrives. Benedict Artemaeus will have opened the door and shown the interviewee inside and will have gotten them a drink of their choice. From there, it falls to the interviewer to ask the first question.

"Farmed. Wheat mostly, but we had a cow and a few chickens, would sell any of the excess milk and eggs when we could. Or my mother would just give them away, because she was..."

He pauses, having struck an unexpected cord in himself, "...like that."

"Kind?" Bastien prompts, and then, "Have you seen them since you became a Templar?"

[thereneverwas]

Barrow nods, then shakes his head. "Never went back," he admits, and though this is a thing he's told others in the past, it somehow never gets easier-- laying his cowardice bare, far worse than simply abandoning the Templars.

"I somewhat doubt they'd be happy to see me, at this point," he adds with a weak chuckle, glancing away and then back at Bastien, wordlessly begging him to change the subject.

[cozen]

Bastien smiles at him for a beat—a small, sympathetic smile, but not so sympathetic as to make it obvious that he might relate to that very much—before nodding in answer to the silent request. New topic.

"How did you find the training, to be a Templar? Did you enjoy it?"

[thereneverwas]

"Not hard. Combat-type training, it comes easy, though not so much the book work and liturgical end of things. I probably couldn't recite you the Chant of Light if you held a knife to my throat, even as a lad."
