Lian is here.

by Wren Birk

Lian is here.
 
I wish I had a funnier, more clever way to say that, but that’s all I can wrap my head around right now. He’s here. He’s at my house. He’s in my bedroom! Right this second right now.
 
There’s a time when just thinking about that sentence would have sent me to stupid giggy pieces. Right now all I can think of is. I don’t know what I think.
 
Well apparently I’m still 16 years old because I can’t stop thinking about the fact that he’s in my bedroom. I’m not there mind you- I’m in my old room, I obviously gave him the nice room- but still. Here’s there. Here’s here! And he needs my help!
 
Our help. He needs our help. We went to tell Jhin about Secrix. The mission. And we walked in and there he was. Sudden, sullen, and ... somehow, seemingly already annoyed with me. Hey- just like the old days!
 
He said that he needs our help in Riverville, with the Lexicon. So we’re going to Riverville tomorrow! I know, I’m surprised they agreed too. But we’re going tomorrow.
 
He said he wanted to see my lab!! Except when I showed it to him he didn’t even seem that interested in it. Or the library, though he sat there for six hours straight without getting up once. Or that I live on my own island, even when there was a fucking dragon turtle at our front door- you know what? It’s fine. So he’s not impressed with everything even though when you look at the list there, and you could add to it, boy could you add to it!, it looks pretty damn impressive from a former student. So he’s not impressed with any of that stuff? That’s fine. He shouldn’t be,
 
He shouldn’t be. He’s a crazy powerful wizard! He’s seen a lot. What do I have? A neat house on a weird island. At least I had a nice place and a nice room to offer him.
 
And here I am, downstairs in my old bed. Because I am
