Have any of you tried a fruit called the 'doreh'?
[It’s a brief question. Gaius addresses the network early in the morning, hopefully after people have eaten breakfast. There have been a few things on his mind for a while, so he might as well ask now before the network turns to death talk again.]
I spoke with one of the workers on Thesa before coming here, and he shared some with me. It’s a green fruit with several leaves, and it has a bumpy texture...you might have seen it before. When you slice into it, the juice is purple. It's delicious and tastes like honey and plum, but...if someone offers you the same fruit in a different color, you might want to be careful. I’ve heard the other colors of doreh have side effects that are...less than desirable.
[How ominous? He seems to know what’s going on, at least.]
With all the conversation topics we've had, I'd also like to ask...were you religious where you're from, or was your world religious? I've visited the temples here, and they're...unique. [It's so hard to pick just one word.] I've been thinking about my own faith...a lot changes when you end up on a different world, doesn't it?
[He pauses for a moment, and then shakes his head slightly.]
Haha...it sounds a little heavy when I phrase it like that, but I'm still interested in hearing about your worlds if I haven't lost you all yet.

no subject
[Are. Not were. He's still a nomad.]
What about yourself? What do you do for a living?
[He's only asking to make conversation. He's interested in Zevran just as he's interested in everyone who's replied to his post.]
no subject
[But enough about that.] At the moment, odd jobs. Sometimes a messenger, sometimes a porter. Strangely, I find myself with a great deal of free time. Have you seen the library yet?
no subject
[Maybe at least up to a point? He's never spoken to a nomad outside of his own people.]
I have. I've been to most places in the city, though there are a few I haven't...had the time to see. [That pause is for the Red Light District.] You mean the one in the institute, right?
no subject
No, the Institute lets no one in who does not work there. But there's another one, available to the public. Supposedly, it is smaller but if that one is small, the mind boggles at how many books the Institute must have.
oh, whoops, I could only find the library in the institute...pretend he said he's never been there
[Alas, no one is as outdoorsy as Gaius 'lives in a tent in the mountains' Worzel.]
The Institute seems like a great and influential place. There was a similar place in my own world...maybe. It's difficult to draw parallels when I don't really understand this world's resources yet.
