[Luke blinked at the question. He had indeed run into the orc, and found the large, dark skinned man to be rather unpleasant. He'd seemed quite keen on taking over the farm, and...doing all manner of things.]

I have. Garrosh Hellscream. He was up at the farm earlier today with a lot of questions. Why do you ask?

[And Garrosh would find more than Hell to pay if he touched Ami. That was certain.]

He's a touchy little thing, isn't he.

[He mostly sounds amused.]

In what capacity did you encounter him?

Oh, he made demands that I increase production, burn portions of the forest, hunt and kill Moro, and breed my bantha. Oh, and conscript residents towards working on the farm.

[Luke leans casually against a wall, arms crossed.]

I'm not sure if he'll try anything further, but I'm not going to allow him to do any of that.

Oh my. Your encounter was far more interesting than mine. He simply attempted to intimidate me, then bisect me with that ax of his, then failing both of those he chopped up one of the tables in Good Spirits. I poked a couple of holes in him and warded the door so he shouldn't be able to get back inside until they wash his blood from the door frame. Or unless he decides to come in one of the windows.

Volatile thing that he is. It sounds like he's got some big dreams, the scamp.

[Luke snorts in amusement.]

He didn't do anything threatening to me. I'm not sure his ax would've stood up to a lightsaber, though. It certainly isn't made of Cortosis ore.

But volatile indeed. Someone to keep an eye on.

He didn't hurt you did he? Or anyone in Good Spirits?

No one was hurt in Good Spirits but for the unfortunate table, which I'm afraid shall never recover since I caused both halves to explode after he threw them at me.

[He shrugs.] And nothing more than a scratch on me, though even that rather shames me. I was rather tired at the time.

Though I shan't be surprised if he wants another go at me in the near future. I'm apparently an evil coward. [He laughs.] I'm bored with it already.

A shame, poor table.

[Luke nods at the sentiment]

He seems quite clumsy, and far, far too aggressive. I felt no real power about him, though. Still, I hope he doesn't press it too far. I'd rather avoid a direct confrontation, I hate having to fight when it's entirely unnecessary.

But if he continues this...aggressive behavior, something may have to happen.

It served faithfully and well. An honorable death for a piece of furniture.

While I had few problems with him and I don't think you would either, I think an ordinary mortal who tried to stand toe to toe with him would end up having a very bad time of it. He seems quite stubborn. I have little doubt he'll continue barreling down whatever path he's chosen. [He makes a little moue of distaste.] He's one of those tiresome death before dishonor sorts.

Drop Thor on him. That'd be good for a laugh.

Yes, I suppose that would be true. Those types...I can admire it to a point but there's little practical value in throwing away one's life.

Who's Thor?

[Luke hasn't met the macho-man yet]

I can't admire it at all. I'm allergic to idiots.

[His lips twitch in a frown at the thought of having to explain Thor, but that's what he gets for mentioning that idiot. His expression smooths to something sardonic, which is not quite in keeping with how hostile the entire subject makes him feel.]

Oh, he's freshly arrived. One of the Aesir. Odin's favorite son.

Mandalorians are like that.

[Luke shrugs. So is Kyle, to a point.

His brow wrinkles at the expression, but he inclines his head curiously]

Ah. I don't know who Odin is either. But I take by the sound of it someone important among your folk?

Edited 2013-01-31 03:45 (UTC)

There are many people like that. I do my best to avoid them.

[Loki snorts.]

Odin is known as the Allfather. He's the king of Asgard.

Thor's got quite a powerful hammer and fully believes every problem is a large and obstreperous nail. Oh, and the hammer - Mjolnir - calls lightning.

Ah, so the king and the prince of Asgard.

Is Thor the sort to pick a fight with normal people? Or, is he the sort that goes after a challenge?

[That gets a twitch out of Loki.] For now.

He's an overgrown puppy with long hair who thinks headbutting is an acceptable form of greeting. I wouldn't be concerned about him picking fights in general, no. But a challenge, yes.

[A noticeable twitch...]

Well, maybe he'll find Garrosh to be to his liking. He sounds a touch too Mandalorian to me.

I'll have to see if I can provide a little push in that direction.

I'm afraid I'm not acquainted with Mandalorians. Are they tall, blond, and terribly stupid?

Try and keep it outside town, if you can.

[He chuckles, not entirely unamused. Han really has rubbed off on him.]

A warrior culture. Deadly fighters, though they're all but extinct in my day. The most skilled could match young Jedi without the Force, it's said.

Unfortunately, natural disasters are rather tricky to aim.

Ah. Warrior cultures. [He is not impressed by this.]

More a conglomerate culture in my time, they had their heyday and it's over now.

The Empire didn't tolerate would be conquerers and former allies of the Jedi.

Eliminating potential enemies is a common sort of defense mechanism.

Of course. The Mandalorians were on the way out, anyway. Again.

One doesn't make war constantly for thousands of years and expect not to make enemies. It's a shame, but they'll bounce back. They always do.

Why would it be a shame to see a war-mongering culture whittle itself to extinction?

Because they're still people? They have a place in the Galaxy and losing anything more because of Palpatine is a shame.

Anyone is presumably still a person. And then they kill each other.

[He shrugs at that.]

War happens. That's how it is everywhere.
