Partners

I realized that I still had some work to finish up in the Ghostlands, so first thing this morning I pulled on my new guild tabard, strapped my ranseur to my back, and headed out. 

My room here is pretty barren, I realized.  It’s been a while since I’ve had a place to put my stuff, so naturally I haven’t really been collecting a lot.  Maybe I should at least keep around a change of clothes.  I am, after all, I’m supposed to be respectable now.  I’ll need to find a tailor first, though.

Anyway, I made it to the Ghostlands and spent a good amount of time milling around Tranquillien chatting with the provisions vendor (I guess I wasn’t really all that eager to work, after all).  

It was there that I met another Bloodknight, a girl named Chrysalis.  She was obviously impressed by my enormous pokeystick (as Ysabelle called it) and I’m pretty sure I saw her eyeing my tabard, too.  I’m sure she recognized the crest of the Silverguard on it.  Anyway, being the nice guy that I am, I offered to help her out with what she was working on.  It didn’t hurt that she was kinda cute, too.

The two of us tore through the catacombs and, later on, Deatholme.  Chrysalis seemed a little too sweet to be chopping the limbs off of trolls as well as she was, but she was good company.  We agreed that we made a good team and that we should work together more often.  She mentioned the loneliness that Bloodknights feel, which is something that I hadn’t really thought about.  I mean – yes, there are people that avoid us like the plague, but I guess because I’ve been working alone for so long now it hadn’t really bothered me.

Having a partner was a nice change.
