It's been several days now. The time seems to fly so quickly, and yet stand still at the same time. I only wish it could go backwards, that I may try to correct some of the mistakes I have made.
Raak, I've not seen him for several days. I should have expected no less after what happened, however I miss him. Even as only a friend, I would still wish to see him, and hear his lively tales. I worry about what has become of him.
As my travels take me further into Khazad Dum, or Moria as we call it, I cannot help but wish to tell him of the wonders I've seen - and the horrors. I imagine he would be amazed, and likely a bit concerned, at the path I've chosen to take. Would that he could see them for himself ...
As for Altheric - I find myself continually baffled and confused by my feelings. One day I am glad we are friends; the next I wish to pull my hair out in frustration. It has been thus since I told him I could only ever be his friend, in order to preserve his honor.
I wonder if I made the right decision?
