I had a migraine that left me incapacitated and grumpy on the couch most of the day. I made it worse and made this, with a shoddy cover that makes me a little bit happy.

Intended to reflect both Faruq Farnynn’s nature and the events of his life, it was fun to just listen for awhile.

I want you all to know I'm seriously considering drawing fanny in a straw hat and some plaids, with straw bursting out of everywhere.

Are you a Werebear?

You’re talking of the beornings, right? No, no. I don’t change into a bear come night - though I’ve been told I tend to sound like one *scratches jaw* And my mother tells me I eat worse than one *cough*. 

I’ve -ah heard rumors about that my father travelled with quite a few, even lived with some before he ever met my mother - but no. I’m not a beorning.

//Just wanted to say that it's super helpful if everyone has, in the settings, under replies, both boxes ticked off. I've just noticed a few people don't, but allowing replies to ooc posts lets us communicate much easier

If nothing so far had proved it, Ally's squandering of food surely did show him a petulant child. Farnynn stepped out of the way of the trickle of grease that stained the snow and muddied the mire beneath. Farnynn watched quietly as Ally gave one more little speech, companied by a great show of picking up his pot and marching off. 

When the man had passed the clearing, Farnynn snorted to himself and rolled his eyes. He sat again, picking around the rabbit and eating it, as well as the vegetables without care. An old crone of a raven joined him, hopping closer. And the magpie from up in the trees had flapped down at a trickle of grease that had shined against the snow. 

"I would've eaten it raw. I cooked it nice for his sake," the magpie seemed to warble in response, where the raven picked at the bits of flayed and burnt rabbit skin that Farnynn tossed to it.

A low and tiny growl rumbled under Farnynn's sigh. It was the exasperated sort of sigh more fitting of a father. "Your pretentious little speeches here," Farnynn waved a hand between them, "and the way you think you might catch my empathy and change my whole perspective on the tilt of the world and the intrinsic nature of an entire race - it speaks volumes, Ally. You've the stubbornness and pig-headedness of a child." He dragged a hand over his face, lips smacking back together and eyes drooping a moment before they blinked shut. 

And then there was Tavern-rat. Farnynn burst into an uproar of laughter, a loud booming sound that had the birds in the trees flapping away. His ribs ached and his lungs burned.

Farnynn blinked and settled back, the cords of muscle at his shoulders straining some. "Sugared? Oh no, Ally, if my words were sugared," he stood without fumble, and without use of his hands to support him, "I would encourage your childish and dogmatic bigotry, and I would coddle that precious narrow mindedness you think will fulfill you. You can list all the reasons you might want, but I still think you much a monster, all the same as me." There was a doting note to the way he looked at Ally, but it was a nasty look - the one he'd pin to an old miser. 

Bowing forward over the steaming of the iron pot, full of rabbit and fat and smoking vegetables, Farnynn folded his hands behind his back. A flicker of silver passed through his fingers, and a magpie up in the trees warbled.

"That sounds like a come on, but coming from you, I know it's anything but. Mahal knows you're probably like to gird your loins with a belt of steel." The mead was turning his voice syrupy and the further he slumped against the log, the more his eyes seemed to droop. But he was alert all the same, though rather lax, at least until there were elbows and wrists threatening to slap and knock his face. 

Farnynn jerked back."Urgh- Shoulders giving you trouble? Cold does that to the best of us." He set down his cup at his hip, took a moment to reach behind and scratch the small of his back. Raising his hands, he waggled his fingers. "Want me to help?" All his face looked glazed, the way he was half staring off over the fire and the way his voice was drawling, thick and rough with his accent now. 

“Ehhh, well, I bite too much, so it’s prolly good that you don’t got to worry about two sets of teeth marks.” Herja linked her hands behind her head and pulled, and - aaaaghh, oof. Could tell she’d forgotten her stretches for too long, her shoulders were starting to stiffen up. Better fix that, then. She moved into a set of calisthenics, careful not to clock Fanny in the head.

“…really. I would’ve thought you’d sulk over the loss of possible targets. You get to do your own damn laundry, by the way.”

(( Mostly movie, I just started reading the book last night and so far - there are the beginnings of those parallels but I'll have to finish it before I can say for sure .3. ))

Farnynn turned his head down, a silence parsing his steady stream of sighs and throaty, muffled chuckles. "Ally - I can not fathom what it was you endured, but I hold by my own raising, and the actions of an entire race, I don't feel, can be judged by the goings on of one smaller group. That belief is never meant to offend, and it does not affect you. " He caught the herbs that were thrown to him, but did not follow Ally with his eyes as the man stormed to the ends of the clearing. 

"There is honest vengeance - I do not rob you of that, but in reaping it, you will gain nothing. And you'd do best not to judge where the ends of anyone's knowledge lies." The rabbit's skin was flaying and the vegetables were browning, a small bit of fat dribbling over them and setting pops and sparks in the pot.

//This took far too much effort to get and *flops* I question if it was worth it - Regardless, have some Farnynn voice reference in the form of Howl. On a completely unrelated note - Farnynn's canon origin has a disturbing amount of parallels with Howl.
