"...And that's how I ended up making this guy," Zhen Liu told Bellona while lightly touching his mammoth tusk earring (Frosttusk).

Earlier on this walk, Zhen Liu had told Bellona the story behind his funeral crash and how he went from Stone Claw's most famous(?) cripple to unexpected puppet[kaijin] master[lord], and was now regaling her with the tale of how he made Frosttusk. Bellona for her part mostly looked shocked.
