'You ever wondered whether right now, someone up there, maybe a creator, maybe now, is judging us? Maybe even considering wiping us from the face of the earth?'
*have you seen my poll?*
"Can't say I think about that a lot, but I guess they could be. We have no way of knowing for sure. But all we can do is keep going on with our lives and hope whoever's up there doesn't decide to get rid of us."
*I did, but I forgot to reply to it sorry. I absolutely think you should keep Flint for as long as you want to. I love him :)*
'Yeah, I guess so. There's nothing we can do, might as well go on living the best we can. Man, this is why I try not to overthink!'
"Would some bread help?" She holds the loaf out to him. "Bread usually helps me forget my problems."
"Nothing too exciting. Researching spells, raising the dead, scavenging. Just the normal." She smiles, realizing how un-normal all of these activities would sound to most people.
"I found a great new pair of boots the other day! Just what I needed, the soles of mine were starting to fall off. How about you, found anything cool?"
'Just some rags, bones, bottles, the usual. Lots of bottles. Must have been that festival the other week! Great to hear ya got some new boots! They look great!'
"You'll have to find something to put in all the bottles. Maybe you could start a brewery? I could teach you how to make ginger beer, if you like. And I must have missed the festival, what was it for?"
'Ya know how to make ginger beer? I'd love to learn! The festival was the Dragon Slayer Festival, where a big paper dragon got 'slain' in the town centre, and everyone got very drunk, because, well, festivals'
"Yeah! My dad taught me, one of the only things he had time to show me actually. We can get the ingredients now." She starts drifting down the aisles, picking up some ginger, raisins, lemon and sugar. "And that sounds like a great festival! I'll have to go next year."
'Well, I don't need to scavenge or hide in the sewers any more. So why do I do it? Also, the things I've been through, they should have scarred me somehow, yet they haven't. I think?'
"Why does anyone do anything? If it brings you joy, then keep doing it! I could get a job doing something else, but I still scavenge don't I? It's not something to be ashamed of. And everyone deals with trauma in different ways, I don't think you have a problem if you're not in constant mental distress."
'I guess so. I know it probably shouldn't give me joy, but my messed up brain likes it, so what the heck. Guess it's another thing I can blame the Third for' he jokes. 'How's Edgar getting along?'
"The Third sounds like he has a lot to answer for. But he saved you, so I guess I should be thanking him really. Ed's good! He's currently engaged in a cold war with the local pigeon population. Provides some very interesting entertainment."

*yeah. But he does spend a lot of time meditating and generally being monk-ish, so might have accidentally picked up some kind of revelation lol!*

Long live the dragon slayers, long live the spider guild, long live the forums.
I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
*that's true, didn't want to lore dump*

Lil rips off a large chunk for Flint, and a smaller one for Hi. "So, what have you guys been up to lately?"
'Ah, just the usual stuff. Running the tavern, meditating, hanging around. Nothing much. How about you?'
