A last look? A last chance to turn back? No, I guess it wouldn't be. And yet, I can't shake the feeling that it is. My two companions seem nice, even if I'm still not great at talking to them. It's good to have the help. I'm so inexperienced out here, away from it all, but I see Enkai even from here, I think. I can almost imagine Prime and the road I took to get here. A last goodbye to my cousins. My aunt and uncle. They all thought it was a bad idea, offered the worst rumors until it was time to leave. And then it was tears, bravery, them talking as if I was already gone and to be remembered as someone brave.
 
That's not why I'm coming. Brave is the last thing I am. Excited? Maybe. I want to see the world, same as anyone else. Maybe I can even pretend I'm doing the boring, logistical things that any trip like this requires to make it easier for those with skills better suited to all of this. But I just want to witness this, don't I? I want to watch what comes next, and record it. I want to see the people who would make a journey like this. Are they all goofy like Twindle? Looking on the bright side of things. Slipping up here and there, making mistakes. I don't know him that well, but I imagine he faces all of that with a laugh.
 
Maybe some of them are more like Zareen? They play off of Twindle so well. Him with a joke, her with a comment. It's funny, but I think she thinks she's being serious at times. It's good that they're like that though, Twindle might actually be a bit much for me to be around if they weren't here. I'm not the greatest people person.
 
It's probably my last chance to see the 'Nest for the next long time. Strange as it might be, I love this place. The occasional White Jackal. Prime's technology. Enkai, strong as ever in the distance. Being away from here, from my people and the spirits is going to be harder than I thought.
 
 
 
Severity and seriousness aside, I got some very strange looks between myself and my companions when I bought all that extra rope. Maybe I've been tricked and I didn't need that much?
