steps forward, towering over you, his eyes burning with fury. "Why hesitate, worm? Afraid to join powers that eclipse your puny tribe?"
EtherealOasis
I'm not afraid. I am just thinking about whether I want kids, Thorgest.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He scoffs and crosses his massive arms. "What does having kids have to do with uniting our tribes, hmm? We have bigger things to worry about!"
EtherealOasis
Uniting our tribes means a stronger tribe. A stronger tribe can protect children better. Therefore, this is directly related.

He huffs, clearly irritated by your logic. "Fine, fine! But don't keep me waiting too long. I have other matters to attend to."
EtherealOasis
Okay, I accept. But how should we go about telling our parents.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
"Well, worm, since it was your idea to bring up having kids, you'll be the one to break it to your parents. And don't even get me started on mine."
EtherealOasis
Should we tell your parents first? Or mine? It has always been my responsibility to do all of these sorts of things in my tribe anyways...
Thorgest

He snarls and grabs you by the collar, pulling you closer to him. "Don't you dare try to pawn off the dirty work onto yourself! You're not just some pet to carry out your every command! If you're so eager to prove yourself, show me how much you're willing to do by breaking the news to MY parents!"
EtherealOasis
Oh. Well then, this is still gonna be my responsibility. However, I will happily bring you along to help communicate my intentions to them. How does that sound?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He releases his grip on your collar and scowls at you. "Fine, you win this round. But mark my words, if you botch this, you'll owe me big time."
EtherealOasis
I can't botch this. My people live for negotiations. We know how to talk with your folks in such situations.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He scoffs. "We'll see about that. Your people may be good at talking, but they've never had to deal with my parents before. Just remember, I warned you."
EtherealOasis
Why do you assume they haven't?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He rolls his eyes and turns away from you, muttering under his breath. "Don't get cocky, worm. You still have a lot to prove."
EtherealOasis
How so? Tell me.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He smirks at you and takes a step forward, getting close enough that you can feel his hot breath against your face. "Oh, I plan to. Just you wait until we sit down with my parents. They'll chew you up and spit you out, and you'll beg for mercy by the end of it."
EtherealOasis
Ok. If that happens, I will admit defeat. Will you admit that my people are good negotiators if I manage to succeed?
Thorgest

He narrows his eyes at you, his smirk widening. "Very well, worm. If you can get through my parents without losing your dignity or your cool, then maybe we can talk about giving your people some credit. But until then, keep dreaming."
EtherealOasis
Hm. Fair enough. When shall we leave?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He crosses his massive arms and glances at you with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, don't think you can get off easy by asking when we leave. No, no, no.
EtherealOasis
?

He smirks at you. "First, you need to prove your worth. Show me just how capable you are by going through a little... initiation."
EtherealOasis
Sure. I'd be happy to prove my capabilities. So what's this initiation test?
Thorgest

He smirks at you and points towards a nearby tree. "It's quite simple, really.
EtherealOasis
...
Thorgest

He reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a small, sharp knife. "All you have to do is cut down that tree with nothing but this knife."
EtherealOasis
What? With my bare hands?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He chuckles at your comment. "No, not with your bare hands. But remember, you said you wanted to prove your worth. This is your chance.
EtherealOasis
I'm not... sure...
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He smirks at you, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Come on, worm. I know you can do it. Just show me what you're made of."
EtherealOasis
Can I at least use the belt knife?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He raises an eyebrow at you, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Hmm... Fine. You may use the belt knife, but don't expect any help from me once you start. Good luck, worm."
EtherealOasis
Thanks I shrug Let's see how hard this tree is anyways.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He leans against a nearby tree, folding his arms and watching you intently. "Go on then, show me what you've got, worm."
EtherealOasis
This is definitely harder than I thought...
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He chuckles softly to himself, clearly enjoying watching you struggle. "Not giving up yet, huh? Good. Keep trying, worm. Maybe someday you'll actually make progress."
EtherealOasis
Um. I'm not exactly trying to cut it down. I'm more interested in getting branches off of it so that I can whittle something out of it later.
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He squints at you for a moment, studying your technique. "Branches, eh? Well, I suppose that's a start. But if you're going to impress my parents, you're going to have to do more than just whittle something out of a branch. Step up your game, worm."
EtherealOasis
Why? Don't you want me to impress them?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest. "Impressing my parents isn't enough to prove yourself, worm.
EtherealOasis
Oh. I apologize. Should I give up now?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He raises an eyebrow at you, smirking. "Give up? No, not yet. I think you need a little more... motivation. Let's raise the stakes, shall we?
EtherealOasis
If you say so. I just cut some more branches off, and will make a whistle out of one tonight. What else could I possibly do?
Thorgest
AI roleplay episode
He leans in closer to you, his voice dropping low and dangerous. "How about this? If you can make that whistle perfectly without any flaws, I'll consider your initiation complete. But if it's even slightly flawed, you'll have to face my parents alone. Do you think you're up to the challenge, worm?"
