overall win [session 20]

by Adria

[prompt: forest events thoughts/feels]
 
ya know, that honestly went pretty well all things considered. we got everyone out of captivity, and took out 4 of the 5 rich assholes that were hunting us. ideally we also would have taken the asshole running everything out, but that just gives me a new goal.
 
i'm pretty sure tear thinks i'm self centered and reckless, and who knows what else. he told me as much in that cage. all because i opted for action over words. but we've tried words, and it did not go well. we talked around a circle and just wasted time. i don't have the patience for that to be how we go everytime.
 
also, it's vaylan. i know know what he expected from me? vaylan is family, and i was not going to try and barter him out, for xerr or both tear and eversong. plus he probably would have just captured us all anyway! i kinda wish i had gone for him now, but obviously it's too late. at least i found vaylan.
 
i'm trying to soak up this time we have. he needs to go home, but i don't think i can yet. i want to, more than anything. but how can i go home when gere is still out there, doing this? i'll never be comfortable with leaving the village, or anyone else leaving, if i don't stop him. and i'm not sure how i'm gonna tell vaylan. i'll be glad once he's home, though. because he'll be safe back with cal. well, sage enough. they're gonna whoop his ass, no doubt. i did promise them i wouldn't tell vaylan about the pups, at least, and that's one thing i can do. vaylan deserves to have that revelation from cal. though i do wish i could see it.
 
i probably need to write a letter for the parents, i'm sure they've been worried about me. hopefully they don't get more worried because i'm not returning just yet. i know they trust me, to a degree. with all the littles, though, they have their hands full. i hope vaylan returning, and a letter, will set their minds at ease till i can return myself.
 
i don't know when that will be. once gere is gone, at the very lease. maybe destroy the system that enabled him in the first place? that might be too big for now, though.
 
this forest is beautiful, i see why realta fights to keep it alive. but i miss my mountains.
