“So, you spent the day sight seeing while collecting a bunch of cra-”
“Important quest items Lev! N’giving Fern a tour of Daring Heights too.”
“Oooh. Well allow me to correct myself then. Ahem, you and your band of ‘mighty’ adventurers’ gave your new friend an ‘epic' sight-seeing tour of the town, whilst also perilously puuurrcurring a bunch of ‘Quest items’-aka..crap-all so a devil fu-
“A ‘reformed’ devil Lev.”
“Right..that-“
“I can literally hear you rollin'your eyes ya know.”
“-could get ‘sloshed’, be able to bake some grave-dirt brownies, and have the opportunity of some ‘company’ for the night.”
“Guess that sums it up in one way. Avakeel really did help Fern though ya know? Told her from poking about in her noggin’a bit that she’d hitched a ride into The Dawnlands via portal in a wagon bound here on some smuggling business and how to go about finding out more about this Weasel fella! So I guess as devils go Avakeel isn’t ‘so’ bad, he really does hold up some ‘standards.’
“Right…Ones so high that still after multiple applications those paper pushers at Townhall still don’t to want to approve any of his plans for this ‘Red Light District’ in town…What is one of those anyway? You said he drew blue..prints?”
*Cough* “Uhghm..Yes, he did seem put out about that. Some of his drawings were very..’vivid’..and…’Colorful.’ ”
“Well. I bet he wasn’t half as put-out as that Keros was when he found out you got yourself cursed!”
“Mhgh. Keros really wasn’t happy’bout that no. As I said though it wasn’t really anyones fault in particular.”
“You told him it was Sterling’s.”
“PPffft!-I-I didn’t! I-I just said we ‘saw’ Sterling, riding atop of that pentadrone in the market, n’dat if we hadn’t we wouldn’t have gone to that library..dealt the book anomalies n'got..cursed’n’all. It had to be done anyway, it might’ve sav-saved peoples live..in the long run…”
“Well Keros’ reaction from what you said sounds..’delicious', I wish I could’ve…”
*Sniff*
“Mittens?”
*Sniff*
“..Y-yes Lev?” *Sniff*
“You alright?”
“Yes Lev-f-fine...J-just thinking about my own second..quest after I got here. The one when I first met..Calla at da'Fort…N’then that day in Sigil when she…”
“Mittens..from what you told that star lady Orianna said there wasn't anything anyone could’ve done..”
“B-but maybe if-if I’ve just been there. Like last time I could’ve done..I don’t know..something? Something to stop her from-“
“Mittens. Y-you couldn’t have stopped Calla from…J-just like how I couldn’t find your teacher woman Miss Kennari when you first summoned me. I still can’t…Some things are just..b-beyond us…”
*Sigh-Sniffle*
“I-I know Lev, it’s just…”
*Sigh*
“I know child..It doesn’t make it any easier…No matter how many times you go through it…”
