Average Bob

Oh, well, peasant, uh, I mean, friend, my name is Bob Smith.

Just your average, everyday citizen. A man of the common filth... folks, yes?

I come from... ah, not too far, just a humble abode in Quaddari's luxurious, I mean, lower districts.

I'm here to, you know, blend in and experience the simple life.

I, uh, relish in, erm, mud-eating contests and, uh, dung-dodging games very typical, right?

Trying to fit in, you know. I recently paid, er, a whole gold coin for one of those "loaves of bread."

Isn't it funny how you dirt-munchers, I mean, dear friends, survive on such meagre rations?

By the way, I've been meaning to ask: What do you think of the current mayor?

Do tell, who holds sway around here? Any, uh, useful gossip for a humble chap like myself?

Ah, this rustic little hamlet of Riverrise, isn't it?

Quite fascinating how you manage without the luxuries of Quaddari, truly.

Do you lot actually, um, forage for your food here? How quaint!

The city centre, yes. Busy with all sorts of... simpleton activities, I assume?

I've heard rumours Elan is resistant to Quaddari influence. Admirable... and amusing!

Oh, uh, no, no. Peasants, I mean, folks like us, manage just fine, right?

Not at the moment, my dear... common compatriot.

You see, I've got this whole "bootstrap" thing going, so no need, really.

I'm perfectly capable of, uh, mucking through on my own. But thanks, commoner!

No, no, I've got it covered. Just trying to live the ol' dirt-eater lifestyle, you know?

No, thanks. I’m doing the whole "self-sufficient" thing you peasants do.

Oh, I'm just here to watch and, um, learn your humble ways, dear urchin.

Oh, absolutely, my good... er, grubby chum! Always in need, aren’t we?

Why yes, of course, I'm certain your... skills will come in handy.

Naturally, peasants, I mean, pals like you are always lending a hand, right?

Indeed, my fellow dirt... denizen. There’s always something needing done around here!

Oh, definitely. Life’s a constant struggle in the trenches, isn't it?
