    Mask
    Six foot, barrel chested, and didn't skip leg day. Ram is a muscle bound behemoth. His face and body are scarred from numerous injuries and his movements look stilted with pain occasionally. Still, his craggy face does soften occasionally.

    Mien
    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    Ram couldn't help but mirror his fellow Ogre's chuckle. See what he meant. Follow the logic. And see that they were being idiots.

    He raised a plastic cup of soda to Gerrit's wisdom.

    "That sounds like a good idea," he agreed.

    It felt good to have that settled. To not worry that about their Seeming's curse of gullibility was getting in the way of the trust they had built.

    "I can swing it. Should be enough notice to let work know I'll be getting off early." And at least enough time that if there were problems he could let Gerrit know. The Render got out his phone and carefully started tapping one letter at a time to set a remind.

    Mien:
    Leathery scars, bruises and scaly scabs cover the whole hairless body. There is a certain symmetry to the disfigurements, the color of the visible skin ranging from pale pink to purple and dark red. Lately patches of dark blue and black - frostbite - have appeared on his skin and some of the scabs have frozen over and crystalized.
    His right hand shows a copper-coloured, wilted and flaky scar, engulfing most of his palm and the inside of his wrist. Next to frostbite and bruised scars it adds a third layer of wounds bore by the Ogre.

    Mantle:
    Contrast seem to grow slightly more stark around Gerrit, the crisp clearness of a winter morning. Sometimes the sound of ice forming or breaking can be heard in a short, brisk snap. When using Contracts a subtle, biting cold can be felt around Gerrit - pins and needles prick both the Onyx and those close to him.

    Crown:
    Solid, thick panes of clear ice symmetrically arranged around his head with fern frost at the base.
    Active Pledges

    Motley Pledge

    Only a result of 10 on a die is considered a success. Should a given die result in no successes, the failure is considered to be a dramatic failure, though the oathbreaker may spend a point of willpower to negate this, making it a regular failure.

    "Glad to hear it." See, this was already worth it's weight in gold: a friend to share your successes with. He leaned back in his chair, letting the exhaustion set in some more. Maybe it was his general good mood, maybe it was the afternoon with Vivian still fresh in his mind - before he knew it Gerrit stifled another yawn and casually added. "Say, if you wanted to bring someone along you're more than welcome to."

    He didn't want to be more direct, even though they both were grown men. Maybe the Season lent itself to some lightheartedness. Plus, this way Ram could feign obliviousness.

    Ram gave a slight shrug "Not really dating," he said not sounding too concerned. Then again... "Is it something I should be bringing someone to?"

    Shoot, maybe he shouldn't have asked. Now it felt kind of weird.

    Quick, yawns to the rescue!

    "If you're tired, I can clean up." Didn't have to worry about breaking cardboard dishes when they were just going in the the anyway.

    We might want to close early to get this on record for Ram attending the opening

    "Oh, no. No, sorry I was just.." He trailed off and felt blood rushing into his cheeks. That's what you get for acting like a teenager, you embarrass your friends. Well, that was awkward. Gerrit made a mental note not to ask Ram anything like that again. "Uh, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anyone. Sorry if that came out weirdly."

    The Render's offer was a Godsend. Not because Gerrit was too tired to clean up - he was exhausted, but he could always dig a little deeper if that meant not leaving others with all the work - but because he replayed that stupid question again and again in his mind. It wasn't that big of a deal, right? He just hoped the Summer wasn't too weirded out now. Maybe he was just overthinking it though. The Stonebones scoffed and wiped his face. "Yes sorry, I'm beat." He got up and gave Ram another apologetic look. "Uhm, thank you far that. And-" He was about to apologize again, but maybe that would make it even weirder. "Uh, the next one is on me again."

    Oops yeah, I forgot about that. Sorry and thanks for the cool scene!

    Ram chuckled a bit, hoping to lighten the mood.

    "It's not a big deal," he insisted. He knew he shouldn't have asked but he wasn't sure how to explain that it really wasn't a big deal to the Render.

    He gave a gentle smile and finished off the last piece before he started to clear the table.

    "Next one's on you," he agreed.

    Thanks for the scene.
