we need love, but all we want is danger; any

[Kreios]

kreios don't you tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash The idea of travelling, while appealing, is not as desirable a thing as it had once been. A long time ago – before Lucrezia had left – I had wanted to see the world, to explore every crevice of Beqanna as well as the world beyond. These days my entire world is within my line of sight and I cannot imagine wanting to be anywhere else for long. When she says that she is here to stay I cannot help but smile even wider. I have missed her; she is a reminder of the more pleasant parts of my childhood. If she stays, perhaps I will have more time to spend on those memories rather than rushing through with the ever-growing responsibilities that I have been taking on each year. I’m so pleased to see her that I don’t notice her hesitation on the second part of her response. “I’ve been good,” I tell her honestly, “Really good. I got promoted to Sergeant, and I have a herd in Orange Country.” The two are equally exciting to me, something that’s evident in the tone of my voice.
