How much have I felt as if I did not have much family left. The parents who had me at birth were dead, the cousins that I had disliked me, the family who adopted me disowned me... Hell, I can even hear Corrben now telling me, "I told you so." It was when Rick when he was going to travel with Nessya that I still had family in them. Even though that Erimyl was gone since she was adopted as well, Rick and the others still treated me as part of their family.
Today, I got to meet with Rick, Ced, and little Averick. I swear, that little man is growing up big. Well.. I suppose Rick is, too, since he brought it up and I made a joke about him needing to lay off those pastries. I got to hold Averick a little while before Ced taking him away to listen to music. It was only Rick and me now, talking about women. Heh... I suppose that's typical for us men.
To my surprise, Gyth came into the Pony. It had been such a long time since I have seen him that I nearly forgot what he looked like. We spoke of his current love life and how well Violet was doing, especially since... Well, since Eri. Rick went to join Ced and Gyth and I continued to talk, especially of visiting Eri, or I believe so. I had gotten a bit confused as I watched Gyth lost in his thought. No matter what I said or did, he was still out of it. Rick eventually took him away while Ced gave me Averick before following. I didn't know what was going on but eventually, things had settled. Rick told me that he sent Gyth home and, after giving Averick back to Ced, the three had gone home as well.
I'm still rather confused of the whole ordeal. But... I'm glad to still have them as family-figures. Even then, I have my friends as well like Bryn and Conrob and Aallan and Cesistya and Zadian and everyone... Kristophor and Gwaed, too, I suppose, though right now, I feel like they're acquaintances and perhaps they don't see me as anything else more than that. What I'm trying to say is... Mom... Dad... Agreis... Don't worry. I'm not alone. I've people that care about me and I would be a damned fool if I had thrown my life away carelessly somehow.
