A Harper's Life for Me

I always wanted a life of adventure with friends. The other dragonborn mistrusted me because of my bastard origins. I just wish I knew who my real father was. Anyway that all changed weeks ago when Three Strings brought me into the Harpers. Now I'm a harper, but I wasn't really given any training. Three Strings was going to teach me, but I got a little distracted. That barmaid really liked him and by damn I needed to help my buddy get him a person. That would be a great adventure. He had taken a liking to her. ... Maybe there was a mission there, but maybe he did say his business was on a need to know basis.
Anyway that was when those bugs came. I'm so glad I packed my bug spray. I would have been dead without it. I never leave home without my salve. Anyway, I ended up on an adventure with the 2 cutest little dragons I've ever seen. One is very proper, and the other is not. I always wanted a family or at least nephews that wouldn't throw rocks at me and call me bastard bitch. So far so good.
So looking back, a harper should have been sneaky and came up with a plan to sneak up on the enemies and get the information/loot without being seen. But I am still on orientation and my partner thought I was ready to go out on my own. I wish there was a manual on how to be a harper. Maybe instead of knocking and loudly announcing myself, maybe next time I open the door and throw a chair in so they are distracted by the chair. Yes, that would totally work. Maybe I could play them a tune and it makes them forget they are getting ambushed. Yeah. Next time.
