Drizzt. I am a ranger, in title. My skills lie with blades, ranged combat, and partner work — but, I have practical experience in a little of everything.
[ As with all things, he is effortlessly friendly. A gentle-spoken man who finally casts off the deep, shadowed hood his mind supplies the impression of his image with, to bare the dark skin and long, tapered ears of his kin. Bright purple eyes, but perhaps to Anakin... he can be nothing special, too. No vitriol has followed him to Kenos, pertaining to his heritage, and while he will not forget the hated ( or the root cause for it ), it has been a pleasant thing — to be known for himself, not his kind.
With an open smile, he invites Anakin deeper into his mind's fold. Openly allowing him to take a look around at his intentions, at his honesty and apprehensions. ]
I will say that Zenith is offering a great deal as well. Who has not harbored thoughts of change, or even the creation, something new and more equitable — based on one's own perceptions of injustice, inequality or difficulties? We often forget we must walk paths and choose the best options in imperfect worlds, so to be offered a chance to simply make a world we wish others could have? How is that not "everything", too?
[ Despite the hard line, Drizzt's patience and kindness is firm. He is not asking questions to sway Anakin from Zenith ( his belief in it is ironclad, steady and flexible at the same time, because it is born of the yearning to protect and be good ), but to ensure he does not become careless or lack empathy for the "other side". They need to understand Meridian, to save them.
It's why his questions are pointed, but not steeped in nastiness or cruelty toward him. Just the soft plea of someone who needs his allies to think more robustly, that, more compassionately, and still maintain their faith in Zenith. ]
It is a dangerous, poisonous offer. We could be far easier corrupted than Meridians who speak of their path as the more practical — their claim is that they are reigniting embers, not creating flame from nothing. They also claim moral high ground, by accepting the imperfections of those worlds and striving for them.
[ Zenith is NOT an easy path! ]
My world could readily return dead to life with a spell or rite, for a price. So, it is not unrealistic to me, but I oppose it. I have to, because they will die if they succeed. And I love their right to live too much, to see them snuffed out like our worlds were. Don't you?
help he's so happy to talk to anakin
