[Stug3]

I returned to Hlint a few weeks ago and whom should I find at the lead of a stout party but miss Tegan off to parts unknown. I was a bit surprised not to see her second shadow by the name of Renji. I sat quietly down on the bench near the bank to catch my breath and watch as they prepared to head off. It seems not long ago Renji and I watched her back on many adventures and a few misadventures. Word is she has become quite the spell slinger and to see her at the lead of this group was a great joy. Even with all that was going one she noticed me as I sat and inquired if we had met before, as I reminder her of someone she had not seen in a goodly amount of time. We talked for a short bit and I asked of Renji and was concerned to find he has not been seen in quite sometime. We had many an adventure and he is one of very few I would call friend. With his penchant for trouble I find it easy to believe yet sad that he may be dead. I will hold some hope that he will stroll out of the forest someday no worse for wear. I had a few things for Tegan as usual, seems I always find something for her in my wanderings. Her tailoring skills have grown considerably and I received a magic bag for all the free pelts as she put it. It was Quite the gift for one in my line of work. Being pressed for time with a party to lead we bid each other farewell, I hope to see her again soon as I have much to catch up on. I will keep my eye peeled for her as I walkabout collecting...
