[Uncle Iroh was nothing if not the most generous man you would ever meet. Arrive in a new place, soaking wet with no idea how you got there? See other people in a similar situation? While a normal person might freak out and demand what was going on, all Iroh saw was equally confused people who desperately needed some nice, soothing tea. And as luck would have it, he had some tea leaves right there in his pocket! And also some tiny cups. Because he was always prepared that way.

They might have been a little damp with sea water and it wasn't his best cup of tea, but he had set to work (with a little bit of sneaky firebending of course, shhhh) and had some tea brewing very soon, passing out cups to random people with a large smile on his face. He was also still soaking wet, because he'd declined the towel. More, less fortunate people than him needed it!]

Please, do return your cups to me after you finish, so that others may have some tea as well!

You're we- [He pauses, because he's just noticed the man's physical appearance. He's never seen anything quite like it... Though he did see some... questionable things, when he was in the spirit world in the past. But still, never quite like who he was standing in front of now.

But he does not want to be judgmental, that would be terribly rude. So he's just going to continue as if nothing has happened, though his tone is a little more curious now.]

-lcome!

[Signless catches that moment of hesitation, and he smiles disarmingly.]

I'm a troll. And no, I don't eat human children or live under bridges or anything like that. My name is Signless, and it's a pleasure to meet you.

[Also, this tea is delicous.]

A troll? [His eyebrows shoot up in mild surprise, but mostly curiosity, before he lets out a laugh as he considers the mans words.] I would never think someone as civilized as yourself would live under a bridge- or eat children, for that matter. It would be a very rude assumption.

[He extends a hand.] You may call me Iroh. It's a pleasure to meet you too, as I've never met someone quite like yourself. I would ask if you could tell me more about where I am, but I am a little more curious to hear more about you. Perhaps you could indulge an old man's nosy curiosity and tell me more about yourself?

[He is very glad you are enjoying it~]

[withoutasign]

I thank you for that; you'd be surprised how many ugly stories humans have about trolls.

[Signless settles next to the old man, sipping his tea and subtlely nudging the towel in his hand closer to Iroh.]

Well, I've been here about six months, so if you have questions about where you are, I'd be happy to answer them as best I can. I'm afraid that everything I can answer just raises more questions, unfortunately. But you asked about me.

I come from another world, one called Alternia. If you're here long, you'll discover there are many trolls, much like myself, in this place, although we all come from different times in our history. I came from a time of rebellion, and I suppose you could say I was the figurehead behind that revolt.
