[he knows this well - he thinks that he's been the benefactor of a lot of kindness in his life. people are sweet, and they extend their hands out to him, and he's grateful for each time it happens, even when he's surprised by it.
he smiles at that, gently amused at the reminder]
I assure you that I'm well looked after, Archer. Even here, I'm impressed at the amount of kindness I get to receive each day.
I am Chiron, the centaur born from the God of Time. I lived thousands of years raising and training heroes in ancient Greece, and helped to develop the concept of medicine to those lands.
Oh, but that does remind me - we still never truly got a count of inventory on who received weapons or not. Whether it be done in trial or covertly outside of it, I'd like to make progress in that effort.

People really are wonderful, aren't they?
no subject
You humans truly are kindhearted when given the opportunities to be so.
no subject
[he just manages a bit of a laugh at that]
Yes, I'm very proud to be human.
no subject
[-- Which, y'know, reminds him:]
While the circumstances are not ideal, I will make good on my promise from before. I promised you information about myself, yes?
no subject
[AND HE VISIBLY PERKS UP AT THIS]
Circumstances are always ideal for learning about each other. I'm listening closely, Archer.
no subject
Chiron has the nerve to chuckle at how quickly he leans into this]
Well, I cannot remember where I left off, but did I tell you my true nature? Or had I decided to keep it a secret?
no subject
I believe you left it a secret...
[and his expression suggests
he hopes that is no longer the case]
no subject
Why not guess?
[SOMETIMES CHIRON IS A WHOLE ASS]
no subject
HOWEVER]
Are you similar in nature to Jeanne? Or rather, Ruler?
[SOMETIMES SOO-WON IS ALSO A LITTLE BITCH]
no subject
[Well. It means his trick didn't quite work, but that's on him for not putting on more stipulations]
More or less, that is correct.
no subject
that manages to make him smile]
She did. We get along well.
Do I get to learn your history?
no subject
[A gesture at himself.]
I am Chiron, the centaur born from the God of Time. I lived thousands of years raising and training heroes in ancient Greece, and helped to develop the concept of medicine to those lands.
no subject
no just kidding soo-won listens with curiosity the same way that he listens to anything else, because he's ultimately a good boy and i hate it]
Oh!
A pleasure to meet you - again.
no subject
Call me whatever you prefer, be it Archer or Chiron. A few know my True Name, now. There is no reason for me to hide it.
no subject
You and Jeanne really are getting rather casual about it, aren't you? I'm glad - does that mean you feel as though you can trust more people here?
no subject
[Standing up straight, arms folded behind his back]
It is that revealing my True Name will not change anything. I have measured the risks, the benefits, and this is the conclusion I have come to.
[It has, in some ways, nothing to do with trust]
no subject
You would normally be able to discern your weaknesses from your True Name, yes?
It's an impressive legacy, for certain. However given that very few people here are from your world, there's no need to hide it, right?
no subject
[Voice mild]
And that all of us are lacking in our usual abilities, the playing field has been evenly set for the most part.
no subject
Oh, but that does remind me - we still never truly got a count of inventory on who received weapons or not. Whether it be done in trial or covertly outside of it, I'd like to make progress in that effort.
no subject
[fear of death and all]
no subject
Hence why I don't expect all information to make it out publicly, in truth.
But it's still better to have the information rather than to give up on it.
