[QUOTE="Russ, post: 2603747, member: 17850"] Perhaps I, Korliss, should step in right now to help with the diary entries before they get out of hand. Lady Gwen, it most certainly was true that I tried to discourage you from joining our quest early on. I must confess to having a certain weakness shall we say, for the fair ladies of the world. A rather young and indeed beautiful maiden such as yourself certainly does not belong in harms way whether by voluntary or involuntary circumstances. It is tough enough to try to fight alongside ones comrades in battle but to have to jump away from what seems to be of utmost importance (saving ones hide) in order to come between a woman and the foul beasts of this world tends to put extra strain and distraction into ones head. I must admit that yourself and the Lady Chani did acquit yourselves in good manner while serving with the group however it was certainly distracting to my thoughts both while in combat and while traveling. It is refreshing to note that you admit to glancing my way on occasion as I also looked upon both you and Chani with interest as well. You seemed a little young and ignorant of the ways of the world, I attributed this to being raised as a spoiled child of rich folk so I tried my hand with Chani but she seemed distant and not very responsive despite my ongoing efforts. I must confess that as we traveled from town to town I did make acquintance with some of the tavern ladies but I always treated them respectful like and never promised anything that I couldn't make good on. I ain't really the marrying kind yet, there's too much of the world to see. If we weren't desperate for money at the beginning I probably would have voted against including you but as things are turning out now I am happy to have you in our company. The money has become a secondary issue and I think your occasional attempts to cheer up the group actually do make a difference even if you don't notice it outright. I am happy that you didn't get your way and have me buried. No offense my lady but I really appreciate the efforts that others went through on my behalf. I wasn't much on religion up to then but after all that happened I kinda got to thinking more about it and feeling grateful to whatever gods there were that would look kindly upon us. The party can use all the help it can get. I was delighted to play the part of your husband but wish we could have had some cuddle time. It's not that everyone loves Chani and is head over heels about her its just that she seems a little more attainable and in some ways a little better fit for adventuring. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings as I'm not trying to, but you're a rich kid with her head in the clouds.

Keep a sharp eye out and your wits about you. If anything big comes our way just get behind me and I'll do my best to protect you and Chani. Ladies and children need protecting out here in the wilderness and in towns from things just as dangerous. Not all folk are kind. Remember that O.K. [/QUOTE]
