[Rumlow has his set-up casual, his feet up on the table, and there's a toothpick sticking out the left side of his mouth. He's clearly sitting with two feet of the chair off the ground, but more predominant might be the healed burn scars that mark the left side of his face but particularly around his eyes. Much of the burns has clearly healed (miracle of pod life), but there is enough there to speak of previous considerable damage. His hair looks great though.]

New here. You don't care, and that's great. I'm looking for information on one subject in particular, so I won't waste time with semantics.

I need information on dragons. Specifically anatomy and how to kill them. I've got a wager with my future wife where she wants me to be the knight in shining armor and slay a dragon, but aside from the komodo kind, we don't have dragons where I'm from.

[He picks the toothpick from his mouth, twirling it in his fingers.]

Sure hope these ones taste like chicken though.

[He winks at the camera, offering a charming grin. Oh right, he wants to name drop because he knows it will annoy the person in question to the maximum degree.]

Also, if anyone knows Jessica Jones. Hit me up.

[He offers a mock little salute and the video ends.]

Comments

[dendarii]

Just so. I am a rather frail individual. [ A beat. ] Which is no secret to anyone who lays eyes upon me.

[ukase]

[He sets his chair down on all four feet with a noise.]

It's clearly no secret. You look breakable. So you need protecting? For how long?

[dendarii]

[ His fingers are evidence enough of that. Delicate bones in this one. ]

For some time. I would say perpetually, but I imagine most would object at such vague terms.

[ukase]

[He wasn't a professional bodyguard, so he wasn't that interested in getting into it full time. Here and there for the right price, sure.]

You pay high enough, you'll surely be able to hire someone perpetually. I doubt I'm that guy though. However, I would be inclined to doing it now and again.

[dendarii]

[ He'd already gotten the impression this wasn't going to work, but - hell, he's kind of desperate. Intermittent work might still provide what he needs. ]

Then I'll keep you in mind.

[ukase]

[Sounds like a failed recruitment attempt. So he'll offer a little something.]

If you find someone who you want to helicopter parent you, let me know. I'll see if they are worth your time. I'm nice like that.

[dendarii]

[ A faint snort at that. ]

That sounds like a threat.

[ He's amused, though, and kind of pleased by the offer(?). It's a good way to test a bodyguard. ]

[ukase]

Hardly. I'll put them through the paces. You don't want someone who can't protect you, right?

[Just accept the offer. He is only putting it out there this one time.]
