[ Popp has another whole face journey across the point where Avan says "but he died" and then "many years ago". ]

Oh, right - [ introductions, the thing you do when you're out of crisis mode ] I'm Popp.

[ Grabs at Avan's(?) shirt collar to really get in his face about this! He's upset! He's definitely gonna be shaking him back and forth during the ensuing rant if he gets the hold in, and chasing him around indignantly if he does not. ]

But there's no way you can be Avan de Zinuar the third! I spent a year training with him and traveling the world, and I know him well enough to know that he's not my age, that's for sure! Fake heroes are one thing, but I won't put up with a fake Master Avan!
