Species wide us versus them complex. If we're not turning it on other species we're turning it on each other. [ It's fucking exhausting, honestly. So many other things in the universe to worry about-

Thor was right. They were tiny and petty. ]

I've seen stranger things. Bigger guys. Worst person I met didn't even have horns so that's not much of a metric now, is it?

I am not surprised. Some Qunari don't have horns. They are the scary ones. [ Either because they were born without or cut them off themselves.

He leads Tony inside the inn, moving for him to find a place to sit while Bull gets them food. ]

Guess I'll be glad you're horny.

[ Wait what?

He clears his throat and finds the nearest table with half decent sight-lines, back to a wall, eyes on the room. Easier to keep from winding himself up that way. ]

[ Bull laughs at that, chuckling all the way to getting them food. He gets them a plate each and smiles as he sets one in front of Tony and settles next to him, also keeping an eye on the room. ]

Oh, you have no idea.

Not all qunari have horns like this, most have them curling towards the back.

[ He motions to show how they would curl. ]

Huh. You're just big all over, aren't you?

[ Wait, what?

There was a time Tony had game. He swears. It's just-

It's been awhile. ]

Have you needed to do any remodeling on the houses here to accommodate your girth? Horns. The- you know what I mean.

Oh yes. [ Bull nods a wide grin. Sorry Tony but you set yourself up for that one. And the next one for that matter. ]

If you take it nice and slow, it's not so bad.

But in all seriousness, I found one of the houses with pretty tall ceilings. so that helps. Still, need to find a bed that really works though.

[ Tony's nose crinkles as he laughs- right. He walked right into that one. ]

It's been awhile, be gentle with me.

[ A long, long while but- he's game. After he's healed up. ]

Want me to add that to the list? I know a little about working wood.

[ Bull grins and lowers his voice to that bit of a growl still. ]

Oh, I'll be gentle, take it nice and slow and have you begging me for more before we're done.

[ He grins as he straightens and thinks about the offer. ]

Sure, but it is far down the list, there are other people here who can work wood and you have important stuff on that list.

[ Eventually he'll probably learn to not bait Bull in public, especially mid bite of the daily stew. Tony doesn't quite choke but it's a very near thing, hand cupped over his mouth as he swallows, wheezing. ]

You. You are a menace, I'm being menaced here.

[ It shouldn't be charming, and yet? ]

Let me know if you change your mind. Breaking the furniture isn't ever actually as much fun as it sounds in theory.

[ Bull laughs again, more than happy with the joking going back and forth between them. This looks like it will be just his sort of thing. Nice and easy and fun for everyone involved. ]

Tell me about it. Before I came here I was in the human lands and you'd have to be careful not to trip over an elf or a dwarf and break them. And everything was built for humans. You want to know how many chairs I've broken just by sitting on them...

Humans, being inconsiderate of people that aren't their kind? Never.

[ They aren't even considerate enough to each other, hence his complete lack of surprise. ]

Right- you're not just big, Tons of Fun, I have a feeling you probably have a more dense musculature and bone structure. I mean, you'd have to if you're resembling some kind of average for your people.

Yeah, I mean I am a bit bigger than most male Qunari, but not so much it is weird. And Qunari in general can take harder hits than a human would, even counting for size.

Right- Probably going to need a double layer of steel for your ankle brace then, if I want it to hold up and not snap on you.

Yeah, the last one I had had a few layers and one of leather too. It helps it move when it has to.

I'll make sure you've got something stable and stylish. Any sort of design motif you prefer?

I have always been fond of dragons

I'll make it happen. [ Scales and horns and wings- yeah, he can make that work. ]

Good. Thank you

[ He smiles warmly. ]
