3. Musings

Taking refuge in an outpost on the far rim of the upper reaches of the Abyss. Can't sleep since my ears still ring from some upstart Asmodian chanter who thought that spinning a pole around and shooting light could stop me in a hurry, all the while jumping and flipping about like some kind of manduri. Rather then engage him I pushed his efforts into the back of my mind and continued on my way, he gave up after a long while.

Can't be bothered fighting healing/flashy types. Especially considering I don't want to spend too much time on this. Still no clues of possible whereabouts of the 9.

Joining the list is one of my legion mates. Thinking back I remember Nanase mentioning him. Went missing in Asmodae and never reported back since. Liam I think it was. Figured if I venture there I might make the effort to locate him. Though I think the Little Miss may have conducted a search on her own already.

Nanase is a young sorcerer of our legion. In some ways she reminds me of one of my students in their starting days. Easily startled, unsure and not confident in her own abilities half the time. Though she is one of the most talented ones I've seen in my days. As much as I would like to teach her to get over her misgivings about herself...she seems to get startled just by me appearing.

Might have to try griffo candy, she seemed to be happy and more accepting of Alak, another gladiator as large as I am, when she turned him into a small, weak, annoying ball of feathers. Though it grates me...might be only way to start a conversation without her feeling intimidated.
