Only to intimidate people, and you people don't need intimidating. I talked a lot less when I was the muscle of our party anyway, my original party. Mostly because back then, I hadn't yet been magically modified until my social anxiety stopped being a thing. Which, yeah, magical modification without medical and government approval isn't really legal, but they can't enforce it for adventurers anyway. What are they going to do about it when the person involved is willing and able to kill anyone who comes for them, you know? And with the social contract out of my way, a bunch of nations don't have license to do anything other than make me pay reparation money.
She shrugs.
The side effects of all that modification for various purposes I think just kind of adds to the benefits. Like, sure, I creep people out who look too closely at me with my helmet off, I heal completely differently than most people, I don't sleep anymore and barely need to eat, and absolutely look like I haven't done either in a very long time, but on the other hand, none of those things are really that bad in my line of work. But yeah, I don't stop talking unless I have nothing to say or I'm in a scenario where I don't need to to get a point across, or where someone else is there who'd be better suited to convey my point.
