Julian looked up at the woman from under his lashed, a broad grin crossing his features when she mumbled under her breath that she hoped they were only like him in appearance and not personality. "Of course not," he said with a chuckle, "There's only one of me out there and I'm it." He chuckled lightly, still keeping his face close to the gash as he watched it seal up. "No, no. There are only a few phoenixes in my realm but it's just full of realm hoppers. Some of them call it planeswalking but honestly, I never felt that was descriptive enough to explain the place. We're going to different worlds. It's not just another little grassland we're heading to. Plane just doesn't seem to cover it. So I, personally, call it realm hopping." When the gash sealed up completely, he sat up and settled more comfortably in the chair. "So very fascinating. I wonder if I know this deity that brought this place into being." He looked around the room as if looking for any kind of sign or something familiar that he could recognize the handiwork of. 

When she offered him a drink, he frowned lightly before shaking his head. "No, no. I don't drink. Not since the last time I got so drunk I found myself in a completely different realm with tiny little men trying to burn me at the stake. I'm not sure what happened then, it's still all a little fuzzy. It took hours to explain to the people that you can't burn a phoenix. No matter how many times they tried and how many logs they added to that damn inferno, they just wouldn't get the hint. It wasn't until all my nice clothes were ash and they had run out of logs to burn did they finally just let me go." He shook his head as he leaned against the bar. "Some people, you just can't talk to, ya know? When they want to burn you at the stake, they want to burn you at the stake. Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the show. And those pants, they were the finest silk! Burned to ash, just like that." He sighed as if he had faced the struggle far too many times to count and he was growing tired of it. Though he did perk right up at the mention of food. "Now, food. I could definitely go for some food. What have you got? Anything fresh?"
