[Ah, yes, the benefit of living centuries. In truth, Riz had also lived through and dealt with more than most at his age -- visits to heaven and hell, dragon attacks during prom, crazy nights on a pirate island-- but he's still only sixteen, so it's probably only a shade of what this man has seen.

Also, Riz is high strung and probably wouldn't have reacted well to this even if he had had the benefit of centuries worth of life.]

I guess that explains it.

Anyway, my name is Riz Gukgak. I'll send you a link to one of my business cards in a moment. [If they had been meeting in person, Jarlaxle would've been presented with a physical copy of it, but with how frequently he's meeting people via this odd network, Riz had had to adjust slightly.] You said your name was... Drixt, right?

[No.]
