Dear Diary,
It's been a while I know, but so little has happened till recently. The trail went cold on that Nighthawk woman or whatever she called herself. I sunk into boredom after that. Tim helped me a lot, talking to him always cheers me up.
Brynna has continued to grow and become more and more intelligent, learning more commands that I have been teaching her and hunting successfully. She often joins Tim and I at night for as cuddle when we go to sleep, Tim is great with her, it's so cute when they play. Tim has asked me to move in with him, I don't know whether to do it or not, I guess I'm worried something bad will happen like the last time I lived with someone I loved. But Tim has reassured me to the best of his abilities, but I am still uncertain what to do.
As boredom and a sense of failure began to eat away at my mind, Rin and Tim helped me stay feeling relatively normal, till I ended up in a water fight in the fountain outside the Pony with Tim, Ero, and Tal. During this, in which we all ended up drenched, a small boy came up to speak to Ero, and it seemed urgent.
We ended up going to the stall that sold skewers, and used their oven to warm up while Ero talked to the merchants. The lady's sister's family had been receiving threats from Brigands, so the four of us, along with Blackspear rode out to speak with them.
Lem and Becca the farmers were called, were hospitable, if a little wary to begin with, and put on a large meal for us, despite Blackspears rude behaviour. Their children, Tav and Tessy were funny. Tav claimed he could beat any girl with his sword, leading to Tal bending him over her knee and slapping his arse with the dagger. Tessy was adorable, and I let her hold my axe and she kept smiling at me, dogging me throughout the visit.
When dinner was served, a massive amount of food put out for us, we began serious business about these Bandits. We decided to take on the bandits at their camp if we could find it, and we would be paid half a gold each should we be successful.
We had planned to attack the brigands base, but during dinner they attacked the farm again. We rushed out, and battle ensued. One of them got a hit to my bad leg, sending me to the floor, which allowed them to strike my ribs with their club. They definitely broke at least one. Becca killed one of the ones that was attacking me, and Tessy got one that was going for the Blackspear. She's a feisty one that one. We drove them off, and killed a few, though it wasn't my best fight. I should've done better.
Afterwards, we stitched ourselves up and slept in their barn. They provided us with bedding and warmth, which was good enough for us. We have a prisoner, but we'll interrogate him in the morning. As for now, I need to sleep.
