Magnus doesn't really know what to make of this memory, exactly. But what he can get is that Steph lost her dad, and wants answers, and this dick keeps making her solve riddles.
There really isn't anyone else I can ask. The guy from the memory was the only person I knew who regularly worked with my dad enough to even be able to answer the question.
Yeesh. Well - maybe if you keep hitting him, he'll talk?
[Anyway, Steph can have a memory, too. It's here from 2:34 to 17:01. But the gist of the scene is that Magnus approaches Carey, a small blue dragonborn lady, to ask to train him in a more stealthy fighting style, which she does in exchange for Magnus helping her carve a duck as a present for her girlfriend. They talk a little about fighting styles and why Magnus is the way he is.]
Carey is the coolest. If you'd seen her in a real fight - the damage she can do is unreal even though she's tiny like that. I just wanted to be able to do some of what she can do.
Yeah. My fighting style's always been about being tough, being able to take a lot of damage. And that works pretty well for our team. [He says this very fondly.] Taako's actually crazy powerful, but he gets hurt in a light breeze. Merle's a little better, but he can't tank a hit like I can.
But sometimes, if you're up against something really strong, being tough isn't gonna be enough.

[But then their eyes happen to meet, or something? Yeah, hit me with that memshare.
I'm laughing thinking about how rude it must've seemed in chat when you mentioned our thread and I said I wouldn't DM you. God!]

It makes him angry on her behalf.]
I'd of hit him, too.

[ seeing that again just
makes her mad all over again, wow ]
no subject
[It's bad.]
Did you ever find out? About your dad?
no subject
[ she sighs. ]
My dad was also an asshole. But it's probably a waste trying to figure out whether or not he wanted to be better.

[ you can throw as many punches as you want, but sometimes you really do need to actually think your moves through. ]
