I have spoken with several of you now but had not introduced myself here.

Lan Mandragoran. I am not used to settling in one place for any long amount of time, but the potential to stay here for months, if not years, so I believe settling might be inevitable. I am a Warder in our world, to Moiraine Sedai, who arrived shortly after I did; if I may be of use to your defense teams, I will put my skills to their use.

May I ask how many of you had to adjust to all of this technology? I still find the phone unwieldy and temperamental.

	I am technology, so it was easy for me. What does a Warder do? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	How do you mean that you are technology? I am a guardian and protector for my Aes Sedai. A soldier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a bodyguard. I'm a bodyguard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	These days, whoever needs it. That I like. Previously I didn't have a choice, which sucked. Does Morraine get into a lot of trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Debatable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. We have different opinions on what is trouble and what is a calculated risk. He is used to it by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've got a risk assessment module that loses its shit every time I do anything interesting. It's best turned off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I don't know what~~ Lan is not someone or something I can turn off, but we balance each other in our choices. The trouble-making is not all one-sided. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I work in security. Most of the drama comes from the woods. Monsters, curses, assholes. We get it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damodred 2022-01-15 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	I have been around my fair share of monsters, curses, and assholes. Is your security assignment not near the woods? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I work in technology. Anything that runs on power has some measure of my code in it. Magic, not my thing, but keeping spies out of the system, my thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your spies are only prevalent on your technology? There is no crossover? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were the one that taught me to lie by omission. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You would think I was used to it by now. I shouldn't be discouraging of a lesson well taught. If it is any consolation, you are not alone in feeling as though the phone is unwieldy and temperamental. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And yet here we are. There are classes. Would you like to attend or will that only annoy you further? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damodred 2022-01-15 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't taken the class yet to know if it would annoy me. I'd rather figure it out myself but even I know my own limitations on certain things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
