Rupert Miller is knocked out by a poison arrow. And well decorated by Ellywick and me to wake up in a nice way. Oh yeah... Speaking of Ellywick...
I finally managed to corner her to apologize. Which is all I was after, which has been hard considering how she has been avoiding me. For good reason, it turns out. I tried to convey how sorry I am that I don't know how to live in her circles. She took it as me confronting her about my feelings. And told me how she doesn't reciprocate.
I'm... fine. No, I'm not. But I will be. Eventually. I hope. But she told me that me not being able to be as fancy as she is one reason why she could never love me. And I'm sorry... You have no idea how badly I'd like to change my past. But I can't. And the fact that it prevents you from... I'm sorry.
At least she said she'd like to be friends. I'm going to cling onto that for now. Being her friend is so much better than not having her in my life at all. And no matter what, she will always have my loyalty.
Ahem.
Oh yeah, we met Kaia again. Turns out she and Dworik know each other from prison. Which tells me even more about Dworik - including that he has failed to not get caught. I also later managed to get it confirmed that the event in prison that made Kaia turn her life around was Garl Glittergold resurrecting her after she committed suicide. I made sure Ellywick was there when I got someone to confirm that... Maybe she'll go easier on her cousin when she knows what lengths being rejected has already driven Kaia to...
We are now also formally hired to figure out what's going on at the Temple of the Harvest. A name that sounds a lot more ominous when you know it's not dedicated to Chauntea. Of course, we should probably have asked for a monetary reward, but oh well... And Dworik seems to be joining us for a couple of things... I guess our group continues to be in constant flux.
