Ameiko Taijitsu, owner and proprietor of the Rusty Dragon, took a break from her cooking to deliver an envelope that her evening bartender had forgotten to give Swift. The envelope contained an anonymous love letter and a trinket bracelet. Swift, thinking the bracelet a nice gesture, put in on.The party had a message from Aldern to meet him at the Goblin Squash Stables. On the way the group met local baker Alma Alvertin on her way to make a delivery. She "tsked" at the thin look of Marissa and shoved a loaf of fresh-baked bread into her arms. Marissa thanked her as Alma rushed off to complete her deliveries. Being a highly suspicious personalty, even when, or maybe especially when, people are being friendly, Marissa was wary of trying the bread. She handed the loaf to T'rune to test it for safety, who devoured the loaf in two quick bites. Throughout the trip to the Tickwood, Aldern shared stories about the high life in Magnimar, but he was more interested in hearing stories from the heroes of Sandpoint, especially Celeste. He stayed close to her and made gentlemanly gestures of his interest in her. She wasn't at all interested, but Aldern was too smitten to either notice or, if he did, to give up trying. The boar hunt was a success and the group agreed to join Aldern for a dinner of boar cooked up by Ameiko that night at the Rusty Dragon. More of the same flirtation without reciprocation contiued between Aldern and Celeste throughout the evening.Aldern thanked the heroes for their company and said his goodbyes. He was leaving early the next morning for his family estate. From the sullen look on his face, Celeste could tell that Aldern had finally "gotten it" that she wasn't interested in his advances. She gave him a sly smile and a wink as she retired to her room for the evening just to play hard to get and not close off any future possibility of interest from the young noble.I made nothing of the boar hunt. A combat seemed pointless. And a skill challenge seemed unwarranted as there was no real reward for success or penalty for failure. This part played out as just a nice roleplaying encounter.</blockquote>
