Well I woke up early this morning by accident mostly, but I stayed up. It rained a bit last night while I was at Ron’s. Hart and Tisa were there and said they will be spending a few days here. They left before the rain hit. It was a beautiful morning though so I started to run out by the coast. Avoided most monsters along the way, but did get some more exercise in with a few, hehe.

The running is getting a little bit easier. I’m trying to jog everywhere I go just to push myself that much more. I’m going to the docks and help out some more then grab something to eat.

Xzander is sitting down at Ron’s bar next to Tisariel. He taps her shoulder to get her attention; Hartimier is on the other side of Tisariel talking to a local.

Tisariel>> Oh, hello Xzander.
Xzander>> Hey. I’m sorry that I was such a hassle the other day.
Tisariel>> Don’t say that, It’s my job to help people.
Xzander>> Yeah, but I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, and I never even got around to thanking you for it. Can I get you something?
Tisariel giggles a bit.
Tisariel>> It’s alright, Xzander. Really, it’s no trouble.
Xzander>> … Well, thank you.
Tisariel smiles warmly.
Tisariel>> You’re very welcome, Xzander.
Xzander>> You can call me X if you want.
Tisariel>> It’s a good name though.
Xzander>> I’m glad you think so, I just make a habit of shortening names of those I hang around a lot just to make it more, how should I say…
Tisariel>> Comfortable , maybe?
Xzander>> Sure, that works.
Xzander and Tisariel let out a short laugh.
Tisariel>> Ok then, X. What are you going to do today?
Xzander>> I’m not sure yet. Not really up for questing. I still feel pretty bad about that day.
Tisariel>> I can understand that, but sometimes you can’t just burden yourself with the past. You have to leave it behind you and move on.
Xzander>> Yeah, I should, but I don’t want to live through something like that knowing that someone dies because I wasn’t there.
Tisariel>> I don’t believe that is a good way of looking at it. People die every day, you can’t save everyone. I’ve mended many people with my magic, but even I know that I can’t save everyone. Don’t think of me heartless though. I feel somewhat hurt over the same issue too.
Xzander>> Yeah, I can totally understand that.
Hartimier>> Hey there, X! How are you feeling?
Xzander>> Not too bad, Hart. You?
Hartimier>> Good, good.

Just getting in a spot of fishing again. Good bites today. I don’t know why, but the recorder seems to be working on its own sometimes. I think Lahlee mentioned something about that a bit back. She said that it grows with you or something like that. Maybe I’ll ask her about it again when I see her again. She went back to Tir’Wess to try to deliver whatever she was asked to for that quest.

Anyway, after my little chat with Tisa, the three of us had some lunch together at this back alley restaurant. It was pretty good, and a good change of pace from Ron’s usuals.

We split up from there and here I am now. Maybe later I’ll get another run in.

The empty crates reek with the smell of fish, but I had to carry them across town somehow. Still shocked beyond reason that I pulled up so much. I’m sure there will be a good price for this much. We’ll see…
