It is hardly sufficient to say, that my reintroduction to the village of Combe was awkward and took a lot of time to get used to.
Being absent from anywhere as long as I have makes people forget about you. Even Lizbeth didn't know who I was! Oh well, I guess it's time for a change of pace anyway. I don't need my old life tailing my about everywhere.
'Lhiam' was the only one to recognize me immediately - It even took Amoryl an explanation before she could quite pull it together. Did I really change that much in four years? They both seem to think so. They think I'm more vulnerable than I used to be. That I have a drinking problem. That I'm not the same at all, and they miss who I used to be. And maybe they're right. But that sparks the question, do I try and be anything like I used to be? Or do I press my focus forward on the new people I'm coming to call my friends?
I'm enjoying spending my nights with Holtmund, Entmund, and others of their party. They're an interesting lot to be around, in all honesty. Not to mention that before they were complete strangers to me, so there's no chance at anything dramatic taking place. Worry free drinking, is that not the dream of all Bree-landers?
But I still hold dear to Amoryl and Lhiam.
Amoryl thinks I should let Lhiam go, though..
Maybe she's right..
