Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

Fendros nodded firmly. "Good point. We need to use all the head start we can get. Meesei?" He looked to her. "If we're heading to Daggerfall at any rate, we can continue talking on the ship."

"I wonder if we could reason with the dragon?" Janius said jokingly. He unfolded his arms in preparation to move.

"I do not feel like more talking with strangers," Sabine responded.
I have to put this post down for now.



I need to sleep. Proofreading can wait to tomorrow.
Janius breathed out from his nose. "If only," he agreed, before lifting his head to everyone. "So, does anyone know how to slay a dragon?"

The first answer was a mostly-stifled laugh from Fendros.

"What is it?" Janius asked.

"Oh, nothing, I just had something of an absurd thought." Fendros raised his brow. "I thought we might lure Do'Rhajul to the dragon, but..." He grinned and shook his head.

Janius angled his head. "Why is that so absurd an idea?"

Fendros looked surprised. "Well...luring his team without the dragon attacking us is a wishful thought, as is presuming he would not find out about the nature of our destination if tried to follow us."
Fendros itched at the back of his ear. "With Do'Rhajul on us, I would normally think that teleporting would be the better move. However, we need to get there as fast as we can." He shrugged. "Besides. It's not as if Do'Rhajul will be riding on the same ship as us."

"Sailing will not take long," Sabine added. She otherwise appeared ambivalent.

Janius looked around. He had nothing to add but lips curled in between his teeth.
Man, I can only imagine. I've only seen a partial eclipse before, so I didn't get to see the full-on corona and things weren't quite as dark. Well, hopefully at least one more comes by where I can see a total eclipse in my lifetime.
Nice! Now you can say you've seen one. What did you think of it?
Fendros is just asking for his own desires. Feel free to gloss over the names of places if you want to spare looking up wikis and maps.
Fendros pursed and relaxed his lips. He had his own doubts in his expression as he glanced to the pack yet again. Thinking for a moment, he could not reason that Daraza would be lying without stretching possibilities. He instead followed up directly.

"If we can help him, we will," Fendros said. "But we need specific place names, if you have them. The name of the island, or any settlements close to the island we can reference. Sailing blind onto the south of Daggerfall may end up quite a distance away, and we cannot delay any longer."
I actually sat down to write rather than watch youtube videos. I somehow did half a post. Let's see if I can get it done tonight while I continue to pretend that my assignment deadlines aren't ever-encroaching.
Fendros, Sabine, and Janius each gave their own expressions of disappointment upon hearing of Cyrus' activity. Fendros was surprised that Daraza had an informed opinion of the Synod, but with the lycans he had met before, he could be more surprised at seeing someone from such a walk of life. More importantly, they could use the goodwill if they helped Cyrus.

"Look, last we heard, you took him to a village with an East Empire Trading company outpost to pick up the bounty," Fendros said, turning a hand up. "We need you to let us know where to find him to find that weapon. And..." He glanced to the pack. "We did not follow him this far only for him or his axe to be lost to a dragon. We promise to talk him out of it or, failing that, keep him from getting himself killed. Can you help us?"
