Message: <blockquote data-quote="hafrogman" data-source="post: 2215222" data-attributes="member: 8858">Jerran has the decency to look slightly ashamed at Bubbles' words.  She was right, he'd been worried about people making demands on him for the future, when really they were toying with something that might not leave much of a future to begin with.  He looks down for a while, considering her words, and his own life up until this point.  He looks up just in time to catch Bubbles leaving, before she gets too far he grabs her lightly by the arm and turns her to face him.  He looks into her eyes and speaks with a reassuring smile on his face."Hey, you can count on me."He lets her go then, watching as she goes off to run her errands.  Once she's gone far enough he lets the smile slip from his face, and it's a more serious look that graces his visage as he whispers to himself."because there's no way I'm going to let you go off and get yourself hurt while there's anything I can do to prevent it."Jerran wanders home and deposits his armor and weapons on his bed before wandering off to have a nice long bath.  He hauls up some water and heats it up over the hearth fire, eventually filling himself a tub for his bathing.  He sits stewing in the water, scrubbing at the dirt and blood left from the previous night's excersizes.  Eventually, he climbs out again and gets dressed.  He finds himself sitting in his room, staring out the window at the life of the village below.  He watches people go about their daily chores, and watches the children playing.  Eventually his gaze returns inside and falls upon the pile of leather and metal on his bed.With a new sense of resolve he goes to work on his gear, polishing and sharpening his daggers and buffing his armor until the leather shines.  Eventually he straps it all back on his body, and it is a gleaming new Jerran who walks his way through the village towards the training session.</blockquote>
