Smashing! Soon, my friend - soon we can share a flagon of something liquid and a tale of derring-do!

But loneliness that deep gets into the marrow. Now that I’m here - among friends - I can feel it burning out of me. Little by little, step by step.

Peace. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Tread carefully, now. Not even a god would survive sacrificing me.

In a thousand years, when I’ve all but forgotten how to love yet again, you’ll flit back into my heart, and I’ll weep, wondering what happened to my mad love.
