August 24th,
Dear Journal,
Well woke up today in an execellent mood. Why? Cause*pauses* it's going to see Mara time!! Woot woot! And no gnome to distract me either! Double woot woot! Now I know what you're thinking Good for you Pete. Right right? YOU BET IT IS! Great is what it is! I get to take care of her all day long and treat her like a princess! It's awesome! Anywho*grins* least Crafty understands and won't eh be trying to steal away of my time. I brought snacks today. Sandwiches. I figured Mara would need something you know? That temple doesn't really grow food and drop in in you're lap. So I pack it up and store it in my bag and off I go. *sighs* Just my luck, rain. Yeesh. Well *defiant proud knightly pose* Nothing was going to get me down today, not even bad weather! So as I'm leaving Tanna sees me and says " Have fun Pete." and I raised a brow to this because I'm like [i] Hmm. There are three options here to decide how she knew that. Number one, either I'm nervous as hell and my bodies shaking like a popcorn maker, Number two I must have put on way too much colonge and now she can smell from a few feet away that her little Stonewall is going on a date, or Number Three, I am completely and utterly obvious in my actions to everyone around me, oh and it could have been that blue rose I found too *laughs* She wished me luck and I grinned cause man on man did I feel good! I felt like dancing and didn't really care where, and of course in the back of my head were still images of a few days back. How Mara had felt so helpless, so alone, and how I had to be the strong one. I'm not used to that you know. I'm great with adventures, and fighting, and all sorts of stuff. But being emotionally strong? Nope, I leak emotions like a faulty faucet *sighs* Hmm so where was I? Oh yeah! Mara. So I walk down to the table, sandwiches and drinks in pack and at this point I'm smiling like an idiot, with no real reason to smile other than I am seeing a beautiful girl, again, horray for me! So I walk in the temple and there she is. I spot her behind the tree and she's fishing off the side of the cliff. How cute *muses* Oh umm yeah right! Well she spots me and I am caught. Yay! I wanted to be caught anyways! She said that she had been writing poetry while I was away. She's writing poetry now? Damn, I must be becoming an influence on this girl, or at least wedged into her memory. Now only question. Is that a good thing, or a GREAT thing? Cause it can't be a bad thing! I've never done a single thing bad to her! I told her I brought snacks and she got all giddy and excited. God that's cute. Her giggle *shivers* Oh umm damn! Concentrate concentrate! Right.
So we sit. We eat. I asked her how she was doing and she nodded and munched and said Good. How 'bout you Pete? About as good as the taste of a blueberry pie with whipcreme that's what!! I Great. Never better. And then I did something I'd never do for her and man did it feel good I walked over gently and gave her the rose. She smiled and said Awww that's sweet Pete. Thanks! He shoots*pauses* and he never misses *arm pump* Woot woot! God what flowers can do for a relationship. She said that she'd read me some of her poetry too. And I was like This is gonna be awesome!! Maybe it'll be about me? Just as she was getting ready to stand though, a lightning bolt almost struck her.Why is it, that when I'm with a beautiful girl, when things are going great, and I'm feeling awesome like a possum. PEOPLE HAVE TO SCREW IT UP?!! Stupid Rain Gods *grumbles* almost crispified the most beautiful woman I've seen on this isle. I hate you now *growls* I grabbed hold of her and told her everything was going to be ok. However, truth be told, I didn't know that. I'm not a weatherman! I don't sit there and predict the weather! Soon as I have those thoughts Mara said we should probably go inside. Yay! Inside cozy and away from this rain! Is it me do things somehow seem to work themselves out for me in the end? Heh heh nope. No sooner did I have that thought than a lightning bolt zipped right down in front of me!! I narrowly missed being Kentucky Fried Peter!! Oh and that would be a great date sure, me having to be rushed to the nearest clerics office, reason for, Massive happiness led to electrostatic shock to heart! So umm anyways we get inside where it's dry, and nice, and where Mara looks much better in the lighting.*muses* Oh umm damn it! *smacks self* Focus! Focus! So we go. We sit. I am loving this people! She gets ready and she reads me her poetry. It's not really that deep, but I understood the underlying meaning and it was great *smiles* I clapped and told her how good I thought it was. She asked me if she should go back to silly rhymes. And boy oh boy they should nickname me Smoothmove Peter *grins* I told her I'd read any poetry she ever wrote if it came from someone as sweet as her. Booyah! *makes annoucer voice* Emotion point check on isle 4. Emotional point check on isle 4 please. I think I got somewhere with that! And I did I diddy did did!! Well umm sorta, she said that outside of places like this, like the temple or private places, we should try to refrain from being boyfriend and girlfriend My heart sank to my feet a second, like a rock being thrown in a lake and I can hear the big splash coming all the way back up in the form of tears, but wait! There's more!! She didn't say we shouldn't see each other! So that implies that it's cool to still be boyfriend and girlfriend. I, just, can't hold her hand in public, or kiss her in public, or generally be in any zone other than the Friend Zone while I'm out and about with her. This bite *grumbles* Or so I thought! I slide over to her as she sat next to the book case. Keep in mind people Smoothmove Peter coming through and I gently nudged myself next to her. She looked at me as I did that, and I don't know, maybe it was the shirt, maybe the colonge that day but WOOHOO! We snuggled! Now I know I know*pauses* Snugglings not a big deal for most of you types but hey! I take everything and cherish every moment of it! So what if it's not a kiss? Snugglings only two steps away from it. And then ooo she held my hand! Oh it was like I'd died gone to heaven and the Gods said Let's give Pete like one of the best moments he can ask for. A kiss would have been better, but I'll totally take this a consolation!!

So we sit there and we're talking, ahh to realize that you are the strong, debonare, sweet, romantic man to someone else. Rocks my socks off. Anybody else get that feeling? Cause I totally do. She was talking about how she wished that she could go hunting for her captureers with me and Crafty. Heh heh, Crafty is not a nessecity sweetheart. The only man killing you're captureer, is gonna be me. Then I'll let Crafty cremate the remains. God that was evil! I'm sorry! But look at this face! *draws a sketch of Mara in the margins* Have you ever seen someone THIS CUTE before?! Never! Just say Never and I'll be happy! Anybody who hurts this bit of gorgeousness should be shot in the forehead, on sight *nods sagely* So I'm sitting there, still cuddling, still enthrawled in the moment. My God she smelled good. Huh what? Damn! *smacks head again* Umm so she started talking about how she wished she could be stronger you know? Be more of a use to us? You know. I'm pretty sure she has a use all the time, regardless of whether or not she has magic, she makes me happy and that's all that counts in my book *smiley face* She said that she wished she could use her blade better. Oppertunity thy name is Yay!! I told her I'd be more than happy to teach her and give her some blade lessons some time. She totally agreed to it! Yay! Another date planned and I didn't even have to flinch, and then she said she'd teach me how to dance. Yay! Two dates planned while we were sitting! How much better could this day get? I chuckled and told her I'd love to learn to dance, but I think you'll find I'm quite light on my feet already. Then that's when she held me close for just a bit longer. Her gorgeous red hair just resting on my shoulder, and then she asked me You want to get out of here? Maybe go bash up some ogres? Course you'll have to protect me but*shrugs* Are you kidding? An oppertunity to once again be the knight for the girlfriend?! AWESOME! Thank you whomever was watching over me that day! So we start to head out. I realize we can't walk hand in hand any more cause we're outside, in a public place. Ouch. That bites. Holding her hand feels so good though *sighs* Anyways we head up there to the ogre halls and as we're doing so really all I can concentrate on is; one, how cute Mara looks in her robes; two, how stoaked I am to have to defend her; and three, I hope she doesn't die today or both of us. Because that would be the worst ending to a date, in the history of the universe! Hi there! Welcome to Loveshack! Would you like a order of cuddling topped with a side of death? We serve all kinds! Yeesh. So as we're going I notice how nice it is to watch Mara try to preform her magic. It's cute. She scrunches up her face and waves her hands around hoping something will shoot out. And lately she's getting good at it, but not like Oh My God! What that? It's a bird! It's a dragon! Nope It's SuperMARA!! *superheroy music* Awww that'd be a neat play *laughs* Oh yeah damn it! So we get there and as we enter she says she can summon Krai. Now I'm not sure what this Krai is yet, all I know is he's a dragon. Sweety McSweetons, just what I need, a dragon cutting in on my heroics. Hey bub! I'm the knight! My job to save the damsel, even if the way I do it is reckless and an endangerment to us all *blushes* I can't help it I have a disease! Called Adventuretitis! Look it up! I have Class A! The worst kind possible!
I say Sure. Bring out the dragon, it can only help right? I was wrong, not in him aiding in the fight, just he didn't help in a lot of other ways. For example, no sooner had Mara called him from whereever the heck he came from Krai perched up on her shoulder and grimaced at me. He looked at her with that snakey tounge So this is the one you were talking about? She was talking about me to that pipsqueek? Well at least she was talking about me! Hope it was good stuff! Then the little booger slide off her shoulder and flew around me, examining me, what is this Price Check on Peter Day? Aren't we in the middle of a cave, with ogres? This is not a time to evalutate my dating potential people!! Hmmm. He's too scrawny. You need a man with more meat on his bones. That little rat with wings!! How? Scrawny? While I'll show you scrawny! You wanna see my abs?! I'll show 'em to you! So you can die when you realize that I'm not as scrawny as you thought creep!! How 'bout my arms, those next? Oh better yet, why don't I just fight these ogres naked? Would that have made you make a decision that would better suit me other than scrawny?!! Jerk of a bird brain. Well all I can say is we had one heck of a time. I got in there, not naked mind you, and started hacking away at these creeps! These big, stinky, smelly creeps, who wouldn't be worth touching with a 10 foot pole. Honestly I think a mirror would kill them if they could see how ugly they are! Stab her. Shoot there. I didn't want to show Mara my violent side, but look at it this way. This is heroics, not violence. There is a defined difference. Heroics; the action of a person who is defending someone for a valiant cause. Violence; Physical actions causing a person physical harm. See difference! The first you are defending, the second you're just beating up someone for the sake of the blood and guts and how much pain you can inflict. Gladiator style. Yeck. *shivers* So anyways these ogres are giving us the real what's for right? I mean I think I got bashed in the head at least a couple times, and it doesn't help when you've got Birdbrain flying around you shouting fire all over the place and setting you on fire. Dumbass bird. And I'm not even gonna scratch it. We stab, we fight, we get scrolls from the library. All of which seem to give Mara a slight boost to her magic aura. Yay! I look like crap though. Blood covered face, gash to the head, yeah. It's a wonder I'm still fighting, but thank the Gods for bandages! I tape myself up, bleeding and all and keep fighting, cause this isn't for me, this is for Mara. This isn't for some bum I meet at the Trade, this is for Mara. And honestly, boyfriend or not, I'd die to see her safe. So I kill as many as I can, spitting blood and stabbing things left and right. I swear it must look like a fight club to Mara right now. If she's ever seen one, but then again if she has she should know the first rule about a fight club. You don't say anything about a fight club. We'll after I drop my last ogre I'm standing there, scorched, bleeding and grinning. Why am I grinning you ask? Because. I never realized how much of a buttkicking I could take, and still be able to stand! This is the greatest day ever! Minus the fact that it's gonna take a few days for me to recover from this. Mara's ok though. Only a few scratches and bruises for her. I got the full hit of the things. Nothing can prepare you for a boulder like fist to the jaw, nothing. Thank the Gods I didn't lose any teeth! Anywho we left and went back to heal and snuggle at the Temple. I think I'll stay her tonight too. Never know who might have followed us around, and I'd never want anything to happen to her. So *watches as Mara snuggles on his shoulder* *writes very softly as to not wake Mara* Goodnight Journal. I'll see you in the morning. *looks to her* Today was a wonderful day. *tightens a bandage on his left arm and then goes to write signature*

*Peter sits in the King's Beard with a large pint of water two asprin and his journal and he proceeds to write a letter to Mara*
Dear Mara,
How to even start this? I'm sorry. I'm sorry for acting like an idiot tonight. I was a jerk. I drank way too heavily and for the love of me I don't know why! I am supposed to be a knight, you're knight inparticularly at this moment and how in the world am I supposed to do that if I can't even be coherent enough to swing a blade? I'm sorry Mara. I know that I did, and probably said things that were no where near what my normal self was. And correct me if I'm wrong but my head hurts, did I crack Xerous in the head with that jug? In any case! I want you to know I really truly care about you. I really do. My heart breaks when I think I've done something stupid, and this would be one of those moments. I know you probably noticed me trying to get close to you. That's only cause, I really really like you Mara! And I swear I'm not like every other guy you've met! I would never want to try to hop in bed with you when you're drunk or whatever. I'm not like that! I swear! I have more morals and decency than to do that to a woman. Especially one of you're calibur. I also apologize for the jug to the head. Again I shouldn't drink, too much. I become incoherent and stupid. I hope it heals well. Oh and I am also sorry of hmm the sitting on you're lap thing. That was totally unmanly of me! I am a gentleman damn it, and as such I shouldn't have drawn myself to such drunken actions! I also, should mention that I'm sorry for mentioning us. I know you said that and umm I'm sorry! REALLY REALLY SORRY!! It's just your'e SO CUTE! And well I'm sometimes actually astonished that you'd even consider dating me, but umm my point is, thank you for being there for me when you are. And I would hate the actions of one drunken night affect how you see me or how you feel about me.
Once again I'm sorry Mara. Please forgive me.
*writes with a nervous almost crying hand* Sincerely, Pete

A little letter, written with green ink is under the door later to Peters room.
Knight Highill Well, we all do mistakes when getting a bit too drunk, and we have all misjudged situations. I am not sure what off the things you said was the randomness ale brings, and what is misinterpreting form earlier that you came to say. I got the impression you believe us two being some kind off secret lovers from what you said? I'm terrible sorry if I misled you into thinking that, I though I was kinda clear when I said that we would not act as couple to each other. I didn't mean only for others eyes.
I'm not saying that we wont end up dating again or become serious, but right now I got far too much trouble to think about to trying to decide on things like this
Don't worry about the jug thing, It didn't hit me that hard and it gives me something to blame the headaches on
I really like you darling, but sometimes I wonder if you really listens to what I tell you, or if you only hear what you wanted me to say.

*after Peter sadly reads the letter back at his room he begins to construct another to Mara*
Dear Mara,
As much as I am disappointed to hear you're decision. I understand and respect it. I guess I got caught up in how much I cared for you and really wasn't listening. I only heard and saw the good times, and I'm sorry. When you said we shouldn't be a couple for a while, you're right I didn't understand that, but now I promise that I will do my best to get you back to normal, as a friend, and if things between us work out and you reconsider you know I will always respect you're decision and graciously and openly accept you're love. I really do care for you and I just want you to know that out of all the people I've ever been near on Thain, you make me the happiest when I'm around you. Again I apologize for my misconceptions and misunderstanding, but with this new found understanding I promise you Mara, I will not let anything happen to you. Cause I mean even if we're not dating we can still be great friends right? I hope in time you can come to feel the same way though about me honestly, I'd hate to lie about that *tear drop falls* I hope what ever decision you finally make will be the best one for you.

Mara sits reading the letter several times before writing an answer
Sweety, of course we are friends, haven't we been that all this time? Sorry I over reacted a bit, was not in my best mood. I'm sometimes get a bit tired off guys thinking I have promised them more than I have, surprisingly many think just cos your dating I suddenly have promised I'm his girlfriend and gonna marry and raise children next spring or something. I somewhat took it out on you more than you deserved, I know you only try to do whats best. I really like you, I promise, sorry I'm a bit hard ot get along with right now, got a lot on me brain.

*a letter is dropped of for Mara in Steinkris where she stayed the night it's written in blue ink and with quite a happy writing style*
Dear Mara,
I just wanted to write you this note to tell you how much fun I had today with you. It was really great to head to the ogre halls, and I'm sorry that we didn't get to go all the way down to the portal today, but I promise I'll get yah there or my names not Peter, and it is*smiley face* We got to play hero today and I couldn't think of any one better that I would have rather shared that with. I wanted to also say that umm you looked very pretty today. Just saying. I'm actually glad you were there. If you hadn't been I might not have been able to confident enough to kick orge booty. Oh and umm I hope you like Rupert. Yeah I know. He is a very special part of my past, and I know you may think I want it back, but I don't. You are absolutely the perfect person to keep it. I know you'll take care of him. Have fun *smiley face* Oh and also I love the pants actually. They feel wonderful, and they are very nice looking. Thanks again for all the good times. I'll see you for dinner *smiley face* Hope you had a good time today.
Pete

August 29th,
Dear Journal,
So I started to think that today would be a lousy day, that nothing interesting would happen. I was totally wrong. First I started the day just hanging out by the Trade with Mara. Yeah I know, it's a bit awkward but I really like her company so I'll totally deal with it *smiley face* Anywho. So there we are a bunch of us just gathered round the fire chattin' it up when all the sudden we hear this singing voice. I was like What it the world? We have a traveling opera or something? Rick, Mara, and the rest of us went over to check out what it was. I was pumped, cause it was either two things. A traveling singing bard group of hot female bards, or two something evil that I can smite. I'd normally vote the first one, but since Mara was there let's gun for the second! I've been wanting some danger lately anyways. I don't like to be depressed and sad all the time. I'd rather kick ass take names and be happy *smiley face* So we go over, and it's a harpie demon! Woo! Yeah! Bonus points for Danger! As soon as I draw my blades though the Flying Songbird from Hell decides to start chatting us up. Why is it that when you are about to have a great day the evil guy always has to delay you by going into detail about their plans and requests help from you?! And why me? I'm about the nicest guy ever, why ask me to track down devils? Oh yeah. I guess that makes sense. Cause you know I'll jump at the chance for danger *laughs* Umm so ok. Where was I? Oh yeah so the demon wants us to hunt down devils, bring back a heart, woo hoo. Yeah umm not gonna help either, why? Two words: Devils and Demons. Both which are one word: Evil. Enough said! So long story short: Krin, Rick and I hacked the things wings off before he could get away and then I sliced it in the head. Yep. Good day has started. Now we have to play ping pong with getting this heart from devils and keeping it from demons. Sweetness! Just what the Adventure Doctor ordered!
Next up on my list of awesomeness for today, Mara wanted to go to the ogre halls to get to the portal and try to use it to get her power back. That is so cute it's not even funny, but I digress. I wanna help the girl and I'm getting antsy cause dang it all, tall people talk too much! Why can't we just nod and wave and then send our blades flying into something? We smile and wave and then we leave and I'm grinning cause man oh man! am I so happy to finally be able to get to use my blades again! So for the record the team consists of Rick, Mara, Evan, and a new friend of ours Valiant. We head down to the ogre halls and I can already feel the blood pulsing from the ventureing fever I'm getting. Mara started singing a song. God she has such a melodic tone to her voice. It's so nice. Ummm oh yeah right! I sang with her and we sang our way to the ogre halls. I love doing that too. Makes a great start to a day when you can kick ass and sing a tune to it! So here we go. Blades fly, arrows soar, and Mara's magic is helping me to own these ogres! I am feeling awesome! We travel through the first level pretty easy, no big deal. Rick and I, along with Mara's buffs and Evan there to back us up, and Valiant distracting them with his bow. It was great. I swear we must have fallen at least 50 or more of those things before we even got to the second floor. And speaking of the second floor! Wooohooo what a day! The adventure Gods must be like watching over me and patting me on the back for what a good job I've done taking care of Mara! We get down there and, theres a cage, with two halflings in it. Halfling captives! How sweet can this day get? We get to be heros now! Awesome! There in this cage and the cage goes all the way to the ceiling so there goes me being Mr. Spiderhill and climbing the thing and dragging them out. So what's our second plan? Bash the bastard down! *scratches it out* Woohoo!! So we decide that Evan is gonna turn into a bear. Sweet deal like a kid's meal! And then Rick and I are going to push from the sides. I push first. Now the hinges must have been broken cause I pushed as hard as I could, and THE WALL FELL!! Correct me if I'm wrong but halflings are not supposed to be able to do that. So I must totally ROCK!! I'm Super Peter hear me roar!! *laughs*

We go inside and Mara and I have to be the ambassadors cause were part of the Davenshire Rightsized. Mara introduced herself then I did, then she introduced the others. And as we kept talking the only thing I could think was Man. These walls must be echoing. Wonder why the ogres aren't rushing us like crazy? I'd totally love that but eh *shrugs* They were a no show, and anyways even if I was in the mood for a battle I don't think the others were. The two halflings, a couple, didn't seem strong enough for battle anyways so best to take the safe route right? Right. So like I take the lead. I love taking the lead. It is an amazing position and besides I'd rather be on the front lines than sitting in the back like a stooge! Rick and I led the pack, and man on man was it cool! The wife was a bit annoying though. She screamed at every moment. Especially on the bridge cause she was afraid of heights. Wow. Seriously. Somebody needs to teach that girl to not look down! So Rick and I slash and hack our way through every wave that comes after us. It's really cool, I mean other than being covered in ogre blood there really is no down side. We do pretty well to get them out most of the way, that is, until the mages. Yep, these two ogre mages. THAT WOULD NOT DIE!! I slashed I hacked I even bit the damn thing!! And we were winning and yeah they did eventually die, but I mean COME ON!! Nothing. I mean NOTHING, should be that difficult to slay, EVER!! I was panting and covered in ogre and my own blood. I seriously think I impressed Mara too, but hey let's keep that to myself *smiles* Oh yeah! And did I mention there was two? YEP TWO!! So Rick and I had double the work, but with Evan there to pick up our slack we totally won! And it dumped out fire opals after we killed it, the bag spilled and it was like Christmas at my house! Woohoo! Nothing like being a hero and getting paid in the same day! We got them back to the Cobblewall and then I had to take a shower. I was coated like hell in ogre blood and my own sweat. Totally gross to be coated like that around Mara. Good thing she was seeing me as a hero, and not a messy slob just then or my whole charismatic charm would have totally been lost today *laughs*
I take a shower and head back to the Trade. I am sore all over, but who could blame me, I just spent a day fighting Superogres! So when I get there though there is the bundle of cuteness, Mara, and Cypher, his girlfriend, Ms. Nataleena and Teron. Apparently I walked in at the massively wrong time, because they were discussing Cypher's crotch and who was going to help him. Yeah. Don't even ask. I have no clue either. It got even more uncomfy after that too cause they started discussing the subject of making out. Why now? Why me? Why when I'm right next to Mara? They were talking about how there was this cave in Websters Landing, and then how Mara said that she bets that all the local kids go into the cave to have privacy and make out. And apparently I didn't know this, but there is apparently an Order of the Awesomeness. It specializes in being awesome, oh and making out. I want to be a part of this Order! Cause I am awesome! And I think I rock at making out ummm at least I hope I do. So yeah I am thoroughly blushing and embarrassed cause the topic isn't exactly what I'd hoped for but hey. It gets me wondering: Is Mara a good kisser? I would say yes but eh I guess I will have to try and get one to be sure*laughs* So we start discussing this Order and apparently making out with Ray was Cypher's test to get into the group. Mara had a test of making a new fashion statement. She did quite good, and put on her dancers uniform. I love that outfit! It's so umm sexy, and umm colorful! Yes! Oh umm so yeah where was I? Oh yeah! So I decided I'd get her a gift for being so darn cute and sexy and such! And what better to get a cute and loveable halfling girl? But a cute and adorable teddy bear! OH YEAH! I gave away Rupert. Yeah I know, he's sentimental and he was part of my life, but hey! I'm a guy! I'm almost 20 now. What on the Gods green Earth do I need a teddy for? Besides I'm sure Mara can cuddle and hold him and ooooo think of me at night when she snuggles with it!! YES! Let's hope that happens! She really seemed to like it. Oh and we went shopping, for new pants too! I needed new ones cause the damn ogre blood stained into my pants. Stupid ogres and their staining, stinking blood! Mara helped hem the pants up for me and now I look all spiffy, oh and did I mention she finally got to see me with my shirt off? YEP! I wonder what she thought. Anyways we're going to dinner tonight and I am looking S-P-I-F-F-Y!! So here goes! Wish me luck!
Till Next Time,
Peter H.H.

September 1st,
Dear Journal,
Today was a full day for us heroic types, eh well sorta, kinda, maybe. Ok it wasn't as exciting as I had originally thought it would be, but let me catch you up to speed first and you can make that call for yourself. So umm oh first things first! Dinner last night was awesome. We had a nice little dinner, with a nice little chat, and it was wonderful. She still carries Rupert around too, though not to dinner. It'd be kind of awkward eating with a stuffed bear on you're lap I guess. She looked really nice too. It was hard for me to concentrate on eating and the conversation, but umm I somehow managed to get through it and be a respectable gentleman like always *smiley face* Today was fun though. Mara was out by the campfire just chatting it up with some folks when I walked out. God in any lighting she looks good. Damn it! *smacks himself* I really need to stop daydreaming when I write these things! So umm anyways yeah where was I? Oh yeah. I walk out to her and then this pixie comes along bothering every tall guy, doesn't even pass me, is this pixie a halfling hater? Passing me up? What? I don't get it, but anyways I really don't care cause Mara is just sitting there looking bored so I go over to talk to her. She tosses a red ball at me and it hits me square in the chest and I drop it. Now. I am one for challenges, give me a challenge. Please! So I asked her to throw it again. Still fumbled it. Damn it I'm looking like a stooge now in front of her! So what do I do? The thing I know how to do best, spin blades. I take my blades out of their holsters and I start spinning the two in a tight circle on one hand. Honestly I impressed myself, now I can only hope it impressed her. I sheath the blades as she's still juggling. Yeah she juggles, knives, and other junk. I honestly can say I love this woman. If you can do that *shivers* Apparently though an old tall folk friend of hers came out. And well there goes my shot at talking so best just get to walking huh? So I did.
Later on, when I came back we start talking and apparently the conversation Mara's in at the time happens to be about The Blue. You know. Big, scary, and blue dragon thing that I helped defeat? Yup. So apparently they are discussing that those of us who are good citizens are evil, because we assisted an evil god by getting rid of Big Blue. Ummm I was not informed of said evil! I should have an automatic disqualification from any penalities that should be given thank you! And correct me if I'm wrong what's so evil about killing a blood thirsty, power hungery, lightning weilding dragon?! Hmm. You come up with a logical arguement to that and I will totally buy you a pie! However, the person who started the discussion was a red wizard, so that's like totally idiotic of him to say that we are evil for killing an evil thing. Umm in case I missed something in my history books, Thayans enslaved people. What is umm decent and wholesome about that that gives him the right to question our goodness factor? Wow. People and their misconceptions I swear! I was falling over laughing though, because no sooner had we just got done argueing with an evil person who was calling us evil, a good person steps in and tries to make a claim that we are bad people too. And Celia was dropping sarcasm after sarcasm and I couldn't stop! Umm what do people not understand about the words: EVIL DRAGON?! Do I need to spell it out on their foreheads so they can look themselves in the mirror or what? Then I realized that it's one of these Preach the Law types. Honestly though, preaching doesn't get you anywhere does it? Actions do. You can talk all day but no matter how much more better you think you are the evils still out there somewhere, while I laugh my ass off at you thinking I wanted to side with evil! Get a clue! I have one job as a knight, to protect the innocent, and in my definition that's at whatever the cost! So yeah she preached, I laughed. Mara even started joking about how I had gone from this cute little harmless hin to a psychopathic killer *laughs* Yeah never in a million years.
It was all in good fun though and the lady finally realized that we were just good people, maybe not as good as her, but still decent good people. Then if the arguements weren't enough to start the day with a good ol' Bowl o' Controversy. A half orc came to the fire that claimed to be befriending the orc population and justifying their needs. Uh huh. Well apparently Mara decided to see him as a full breed because of this and the whole thing sky rocketed out of control into this big back and forth verbal tennis match. Man. To watch Mara tell him off like that *grins* She was all like Blah blah murderer, and he was all like Blah blah innocence blah blah. I know I totally just discounted Mara's sweet and eloquent wording there but honestly the people that read this would not want me to recount the boring dribbled retoric that came out of their heads. Though it was kinda fun though *grins* I got to stare down an orc and like be all badass and defending Mara and it was cool. To bad we settled it the civil way. I still think I could have taken him to the woodshed given him a good thrashing and sent him back to the orc woods he wants to befriend. That's right punk! As long as you're civil you're cool, but as soon as I see you step outta line I'll be on you like butter on toast! It was a pointless arguement that went nowhere I wish it did though!! Mara smelled good today. I don't know what she used for shampoo but standing behind her she smelled so *muses* pretty. *pauses* Damn it! Seriously Pete you gotta lay off the daydreaming dude! Focus! Focus! So where was I? Oh yeah Mara would have totally knocked his socks off I'm sure if he tried anything, but he didn't so Hoorah horray and so on and so forth. Well as we were sitting there keeping an eye on Big Hairy Smelly and None Too Friendly Mara had to do her Keeper thang and welcome the girl who we throughly laughed at to the isle, wow sucks to be her. The first people you meet on the isle and they already laugh their asses off at you're logic. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll find WAY better friends than us, we tend to laugh at each other so laughing at her was no difference. I kept an eye on our campfire visitor, ok and maybe took a slight peek at Mara, but just a slight one *grins* After that though I looked in a book of mine to see if I knew any other places we could go to get Mara's magic back. I mean ogre halls is not our only option I'm sure.
