Esdras's Links
Ohoohoo! *nobility laughter* Avarice! I do so adore Rice. If I were to sit upon a throne, I would demand he be my court jester! His witty remarks always leave me chuckling, though I do so wonder if that beverage of his doesn't have something to do with my finding his crass humor so charming. Or perhaps the more obvious option that it's his power of suggestion? Personally, I don't think so, but that's what Bentzien seems to think.
Between you and I, I'm privy to the knowledge that he puts something addictive in those drinks of his, but I really don't care! It's unlikely he'll ever share this little detail with me, but I don't hang around him for his trustworthiness! No, though certainly you could trust him to run an auction for you; that is, if you were to cut him a major profit.
Oh yeah, Esdras? favorite customer by far, even if he's eccentric and easily swayed into bigger purchases without me having to actually suggest the damn upsells. Hilarious to me that this guy really is the 'Golden Deer Savior' wanted by that one monarch or whatever. Brothers apparently, and Esdras staged the coups? Fuckin' kidding me?
It really doesn't change how I feel about him though, I'd say he's fun and means well when he's not lounging around my hounds and making kissy noises at Lucian. I mean, I get it. Fluffy and adorable, isn't that a bit on the nose. I don't think anybody pays any mind to that though. Overall it's like, Esdras is agreeable and I don't really mind talking to him for awhile when my go to is work busy, or moody. Esdras is never moody, and when he's on the drink he's even better.
Just uh, don't tell him he's sippin' laudanum, I don't think he'd even care at this point, but it's probably for the best he thinks he's just hooked on flavor rather than a substance, yeah? Yeah I think so.
I rate him a solid 9/10, detracting one point for never taking up the opportunity to kiss me passionately.
