Sedrynn and I finally left Bree today. He had wanted to wait until his friend, that Reily boy, was feeling better, I think. I've been so busy the past week with a last minute job I'd picked up that I feel like I've barely seen him, or that boy. That night at the Inn was terrible, and scary, and terrible. That horrible man beat that poor boy until he was almost dead, and one of Sedrynn's friends helped me take care of him afterwards. I didn't get to check on im before I left. I did meet one of his friends, though, who got himself completely drunk while sitting with Sedrynn and I.
I ended up yelling at him for being selfish. Looking back on it, I do feel bad, because his friend or his lover or whoever he is was just beaten to almost death, and I'd probably get drunk and throw a pity party for myself too. I kind of wanna say sorry, but I don't wanna associate myself with those people, and I told Sedrynn as much. You save a boy from near-death and it earns you... nothing, I guess. Not even kindness. Bree-Folk are always like this, that's why I stopped coming back to town. I miss Ost Guruth, where everyone helped out each other.
I was so furious that night. I had told them, that entire group of people, what would happen. That woman who kept giggling whenever that horrible man did something to bother her husband, or whoever he is. And that dwarf who carried him out afterwards, and that hobbit and whoever else. I told them, that man was going to snap and kill someone if they kept coddling him, and they ignored me. He was more interested in chasing Sedrynn out of the Inn, actually. That's probably just because Sedrynn is a boy, and I reckon us girls are easy to ignore.
But I'm trying to ignore it all. As I already wrote, and as I told Sedrynn, I just won't associate with anyone. They'll end up getting me killed, like they ended up almost getting Reily killed. I do hope he's doing alright, and I do really wish I'd been able to stop by his room and see how he's doing. I also hope that I popped his nose back into place like it's supposed to be, and didn't mess it up or anything. But I've fixed plenty of broken noses, so it's probably fine.
I told Sedrynn all about my past today, after we made camp. It was nice to finally tell someone about it, and it was nice to have someone understand. I don't know if I'll ever feel okay about it, or ever be able to make amends for all of my past grievances, but it's nice to know whenever you have someone in your corner.
