A Hat for Bonnie

It was important to leave The Sweet Chili Pub without guards seeing Viertree and Loc, and not being one to think too far ahead, I let the smarter folk decide on a plan. And it must have been a good plan because it worked! Viertree turned Loc invisible. Then he, Thistle, and I headed out to find a quiet alley to meet up with everyone else. I kept a close eye on Loc so we wouldn't be separated; he's my friend now, and friends stick together. When the rest of the party caught up with us Virdan had turned himself into a weasel -- I wish I could do that, being a weasel looks fun!
 
As we neared the edge of town a serious looking human from the Crown's Guard stepped briskly toward us. I thought we'd be in trouble for sure, but Charlotte has really improved her spellcasting, and she cast a charm on her without a hitch and the guard just wished us safe travels and turned on her heel.
 
Just outside town Thistle bought a pair of donkeys from a farmer: Bonnie and Franklin. While the others lade the donkeys, I took Loc's hat and cut ear holes in it for Bonnie so we can tell them part. I may not be able to cast spells or turn into a weasel, but I'll do what I can to help. Loraelsia seems really nice too. Since I can't see in the dark as well as everyone else, she conjured glowing orbs that hovered near me like fireflies. There was a pink one, a purple one, a blue one, and an orange one. The orange one reminded me of Loraelsia.
 
As the sun began rising we found a hollowed area to bed down. Charlotte and I took second watch together and spent much of the time catching up. I told her about the beast that was brought in to Madame Krishana's show, and the tragedy that was released with it, but reassured her that Wit was fine. I also told her how Thistle and I met, but I'm worried she got the wrong idea when I told her we had slept together. I'll clear that up with her later. Charlotte also hasn't found her brother yet. Once we've safely escorted Viertree and Loc to Xhorhas I want to help her find him. I know how important it is to her.
