I met up with Missus Gala and Keppli today near the Angel's Guild Hall... She wasn't mad at me for striking at her in Krandor and it was great to see Keppli agian. She asked if I wanted to come to Hempstead's square to figure out what to do and I followed. I'm up for adventuring and getting into a little bit of trouble, it's been a while since I've had a really good trip. So it was Missus Gala, Keppli and myself talking and everyone dissapeared... of course it was Rocky playing a trick on us. We talked and chatted, Keppli was watching the ioun stone that was still flying around me. Missus Gala noticed and said I have a way of catching Keppli's attention and winked to me... Maybe that's a good thing? I like having her attention without me having to show off... It's really hard for me not to, I want her to know that I'm there, yet I don't want to be like all those other men who's egos are huge... mine is a little, but they know I'm joking most of the time. I want to be subtle and bold, but those aren't my qualities really... I tend forget the stone is there so I held out my hand and letting it smack into my palm.
Miss Alatriel showed up beside me. It was good to see her since I rarely see her or Aerimor now. I hope Zain is doing good, I still need to get a sling or bow for him. I don't know if it's me or what, but the light around her seems to dim slightly as if shadows are still clinging to her. She carries an air of mystery with her and her wry sense of humor adds too it even more. I doubt I'm like that yet.
We were discussing where to go and Missus Gala smiled to someone sitting a way off on a bench. She waved her over and it was a rather pleasant looking lady. She had on light purple blouse with a really low neck line... and pants and heels that reach up to my shins! Miss Gala asked her name, which was Miss Bree, and began to introduce us. She introduced me as "handsome" before stating my name... am I getting that package yet? *chuckles about the package* Someone said something, I wasn't really paying attention and Miss Alatriel... oooh, I'm goin to have to get her one day. She said something about me running away from women, I shot her my most dangerous glare I could (it's not that threatening...) and pulled a hand across my neck to signal her to stop. She just winked and smiled. Miss Bree put her hands onto her knees (to show herself even more or what, but it made it hard to breath) and she smiled and asked "What's your name, cutie?"... Yeah, I couldn't help but stutter, I couldn't get all the air I needed! I said my name even though Missus Gala just introduced me. Miss Alatriel then had to pipe up about how talented I am at kissing and she knows from experiance... *stops writing and runs his hands over his face, trying to hide the redness.* "Oh, but he is cute" Miss Bree said agian making me turn about as red as I could go... I would have sworn I was going to pass out with how much blood was going to my head, I was growing really, really dizzy. She just stood there with her hands on her knees still looking at me. Keppli and Rocky both tried to step in and help. I was still blushing and looked away, it took all I could to not dissapear in Miss Alatriel's shadow. Miss Bree then straightened and turn to Keppli and said she was cute too... she is but I'll probably never tell her that... and asked Keppli's name. Missus Gala grinned and said Miss Bree was diffenently a Xeenite. Keppli turned red and said her name and then we changed subjects. I was sort of dissapointed, I do like the attention she was giving me, it's just that I can't handle it. Miss Tyra came up behind us and heard us talking about Haven. Of course that'd catch her attention. She said she'll come and Miss Bree departed saying she has to catch up with a couple of her friends... to do what?
We arrived in Haven that night all of us exhausted. We slept and went in to get the commander's head and everything was going really well. Missus Gala had a knack for dazing the gnolls with her spells. In one room, there were more than the usually scouting groups and they swarmed us. Missus Gala couldn't call down her hammers fast enough and Keppli was beat to death. I yelled at Miss Tyra to shut up because she was rambling on about us not staying behind her and her shield. I pushed the gnolls off Keppli and was going to check on her but Miss Tyra scooped her up and took her into the other room. I followed closely behind, trying to catch of Keppli's body but she wouldn't stop until we were in a safe place to let Missus Gala go all the way out to sleep so she can gather the energy and to pray on raising Keppli. I sat beside her body, hoping she would suddenly jump up to suprise us or just to show some sort of life in her. I sat there, studying her face, she looked really peaceful and it took what I had not to stroke her cheek or to push her hair out of her closed eyes. I checked her pulse, hoping for even the slightest jump to show signal of her heart beating. It wasn't and I felt horrible when I remembered why I didn't notice her getting hurt. Miss Tyra moved her body behind the little space between rocks and I checked her pulse once more, even more hopeful than the last time... I didn't feel a thing and I exhaled without realizing I was holding my breath. Miss Alatriel whispered a suggestion from a near by shadow to just kiss her and maybe that'll bring her back. Of course I turned red once more, if I knew that if one would help her, then yeah, I would diffenently give her one, but I can't when she's like that. She couldn't tell me "no" or even slap me... so I didn't kiss her. Missus Gala came back down and raised Keppli, I gave her a quick hug, hoping to not to upset her or make her unconfortable. I would've given her a kiss but I don't want her hand leaving an imprint on my face so soon after her resurrection... The rest of the trip was uneventful beside Miss Tyra's knitpicking with Missus Gala and Miss Alatriel over battle tactics and that was it.
That's all I can write about right now.
