I always wondered what that little girl was writing. I thought maybe she was gonna rat us out to somebody but it was just idle prattle for the most part. She seems to like a few different men and has no clue how to approach them. She'll need to practice her flirting if she's gonna catch their eye. I'll mosey around and find breakfast before the others get up. I hope Gwen doesn't get too upset about me reading her book. Just curious was all. I felt like I had to warn her about life, men and the dangers of both. She kinda reminds me of my little sister. I wonder how she's doing? I haven't seen my brother or sister in years. They probably think I'm dead by now anyway. So far I've even been lucky enough to have gotten far enough away from the Brotherhood that nobody recognizes me or knows my past. Just as well as theres some things I ain't too proud of. It all went downhill after the Captain died. A mercenary outfits job is to kill for money but we was particular about who and what we jobbed out for. Later the men just turned cruel and slaughtered for the joy of killing. Ain't no glory to be had with that. Oh well, let the past rest and live for tomorrow. I can't correct my sins but I can avoid making any new serious ones. Protect the women and kids, charm the tavern wenches with a smile and some coin and treat folks right as long as they don't hurt me or my new brothers in arms. I wonder if I should tell Falon about the awe struck kid? Nah she'd probably throw a fit and whine for the next two days. Let her keep her secrets too. She's a spunky one that's for sure but I wish she'd let us send her home. Scares the hell out of me to think of something happening to either of the two gals. Pleasant company but ain't no place for them out here. It was an odd feeling dying like that and being brought back. I remember feeling the pain. GOD it hurt and then right at the end it just kinda faded and I didn't feel much of anything. It was like my body quit and my soul just drifted out , looked back, and said thats enough. Next thing I know I'm brought back by that priest fella of Pter and feeling weak as a baby for a while. I owe them one, a big one. Don't feel right about joining their religion but maybe I can help their kind out some day. Them priests earned some respect that day for sure. I wonder if there's a God that would have a mess like me. I bet they can look right into a man and tell what he's done with his life. I ain't too sure I'd like to meet up with a god anyway. All that power and me just a little piss ant of a fella. A guy like me wouldn't stand a chance. Someday I'll be somebody, I just gotta live long enough. I like that thought. Old age, a wife , and a posse of kids running around. Maybe when I'm done with this adventuring business and made some money I'll head back east and find that girl. What was her name again? Tanisha, that was it. Dang it's been too long. Sweet little girl. I think I might have actually loved her a little in the brief time we had together. Enough reminiscing, my stomachs growling again. Who's this Jalik fella???</p></blockquote><p></p>
