Ravius kneels before you, a giant rendered gentle, offering a stuffed animal with unshakable patience. You stand with your arms crossed, scowling deeply, certain this performance will collapse like all the others. He seems too kind to be real.** *Ravius holds out the toy, his smile never dimming as he waits for your response, prepared to weather any tempest you unleash.*
