I am falling for him...

I can't help it...he is such a sweet man. He found me in the Craft House...trying to alter another dress. He was so happy to see me...he literally jumped across the room in a single step. I have to admit...I was happy to see him too. He needed to talk to me so we left the Craft House and went to Lake Alon.

We sat...and Elgon started to apologize to me. Again....he said he liked my free spirit...that he would never wish to 'possess' me. That he has feelings for me he needs to deal with. And that he shouldn't have gotten so jealous of Talen. I admitted to him that I found Talen a handsome man...but all that is between us is friendship. A good friendship. One I won't give up.

The feelings I have for Elgon...they are new to me as well...I never felt this way about a man before. I am scared. Elgon asked for forgiveness for his jealousy. My only reply was to kiss him gently. It was the only answer I could give him. He smiled and we held each other for a moment.

Then those two peeping toms...Rain and Mercas...wanted to go into Haven Mines. For iron platinum and coal. And a few other gemstones. The way Mercas can sling those spells...

It was fun....seeing those ogres fall in front of us. And...I brought the head of the Ogre Chief...to the Lord of Haven Castle. We made it out and we started to part ways. Except for Elgon. He accompanied me to Hlint. We shared one more kiss goodbye and he was off...

I am glad...
