Eh, I went ahead and updated Chris. It's only been two chapters anyway :P
But yes, bed time for me now. I'll be on again sometime tomorrow.

Gregor's smile faded.

: "It wasn't easy, that's for sure. We forced our way up to the tomb Mannan mentioned and it looked bad, but we discovered that Derick and Raquel - one of the mages from Fezzan, I'm not sure you remember her - were with them. With the two of them vouching for us, we were able to avoid further bloodshed and the other mercenaries left. We set off after them shortly afterwards, as some of them had left with a sealed box of some sort."

: "We were too late. The mercenary company had been all but annihilated by a Menelean army group led by a horrible young man...no, not a man, a monster. Worse than you ever were, possibly. Anyway, it turned into yet another battle...and this time we very nearly lost."

He shuddered as the too-fresh memories of the earlier battle came flooding back, the sight of all to many of his companions nearly dying on the cold ground.

: "Well, at least we all made it out alive. We even saved the last of the mercenaries, a woman named Matilda who Olison apparently used to work with. She had a coded message that Mia somehow managed to solve, which is leading us to this Count who it seems will have his mages open the box Matilda's group found.
"...and that's the short of it."

Well folks, I'm about ready to wrap this up for the night. Gotta be up at 5 am to get this load of beer to its destination, and sleep is kinda important in the job.

SC, its been a treat. Think Haspen would be willing to grant B-rank support for tonight's psychotherapy session? :P

: "No, not tonight. The idea just came to me during dinner, it still needs some work. Even if she didn't have things on her mind, this wouldn't be the right time."

: "So like you said, I'm waiting for to be the right moment. And when that moment comes...well, we'll see how it goes." Saying this, he tucked the necklace away again, burying it deep enough that it wouldn't accidentally fall out during travel.

: "Well, that's about everything that's on my chest at the moment. You might want to get some rest; we're leaving bright and early towards the lands of a Menelean Count who may have something to do with Prixima's plot."

: "I can't wait to see everyone's expressions when you show up out of the blue when we set off."

Well, no idea how good it is but there it is. Been a while since I've done this kind of thing, usually much, much less serious. Dang this all feels very rushed to me.
>rushed
wow.
just... wow.
+1. My stuff feels rambling and inconsequential in comparison :P

Seems like a night full of DRAMA and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Loving it.

22267
: "Apology accepted. Anyway, just the same old worries about whether or not I'm cut out for being a leader. I don't think we'll make any progress on that front though, so I won't bother you about it. People seem to listen to me more often than not, so whether I think of myself a leader or not there's no point in trying to fight it, you know?" He hesitated before continuing.

: "There is...one other thing. I was actually going over it in my mind when you showed up, so maybe you can offer some insight. You can't tell anyone though, okay?"

He pulled out the parcel again, letting Chris get a good look at it. He didn't unwrap it, though.

: "I was thinking...of proposing to Charlotte. With this. Soon."

Okay, since BMM42 reminded me, here are all the promoted sprites I've done so far! Far warning, I'm not entirely pleased with how they turned out but I'm burned out on trying to make them look better. They are not my best .____.;
Spoiler: Valor the Hero (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Derick the Swordmaster (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Olison the Paladin (click to show/hide)

Only ones I don't have yet are Raquel and Edwin, but I might be able to put them together next time I have spare computer time.

@ Chris

: "I'm sure. Like I said, I'm not going to judge you for your actions when my own record is hardly spotless."

: "Remember when that...man told me about how Prixima ordered my family killed? I hated him for that. I wanted to kill him for that, as painfully as possible. Some might say that such a thing was justified...but looking back I know that I wasn't myself in that moment. I don't like being so full of anger and hate."

: "But you're right, you need to talk to Ami. She might be mad at you at first, but that's normal...I think. I know everyone else will be happy to see you, and Ami will come around eventually. And Chris, next time you want to talk..."

: "Knock on the door or something first, okay?"

But...you're the one who made my avatar. How do you fail at replicating your own style? O_o

Art's funny that way.
I wouldn't know ._.

Yeesh. Well, another time then. Having a good man-to-man talk with Chris anyway :P

Now I just need to figure out whether to do the proposal tonight or wait until before the final chapter, when Haspen said he might allow an S-rank support or two.

Gregor listened carefully as Chris began to talk, not saying a word. He knew that interrupting would just make it harder for Chris to continue his thoughts. Finally when it was all over, he considered his response carefully.

: "...I've heard it said that there is one difference between a man and a monster. A monster is incapable of remorse; he will kill and destroy and do whatever it is he wanted and never feel the slightest bit of guilt for his actions.
"A man, on the other hand, is capable of regret. He may still do terrible things, but if he winds up feeling genuine remorse for his actions he retains his essential humanity.
"Listen, Chris. By your own admission you have done terrible things. I'm not going to pass judgement on you for those actions - its not my place and Dragon knows I'm no saint myself. Perhaps, at some point you were a monster. Now, though?"


He smiled gently.

: "A monster wouldn't have wept for all the people he's hurt over the years. He wouldn't question whether he deserves the good things in his life. And he certainly wouldn't care one bit about his immortal soul. I believe - and this is just me talking - that you have felt that essential, genuine remorse, which makes you just as human as I am. That means it is time to make amends for your past actions, and work towards a brighter, happier future. For you AND for Ami. That is my answer to your question. You don't have to believe it, but its what my heart says."

22275
I would totally put that on my truck if I could.
