Is anyone else starting to feel a little disturbed by how quiet things have been lately? Maybe it's just an old soldier's paranoia talking.

[He sighs and then continues]

I'm taking a group out to the outer lands on the island. Part training, part working out the geography a little better so we know where the dangers are. Leaving Saturday morning, back when I say so, but probably not more than a few days - only so far you can go in direction on an island. Let me know if you're interested.

Unless you have something more immediately pressing, I expect you to be there. We'll meet by the hold at six am.

Glad to be of service.

Cynicism is only an endearing quality in the old. I think, anyway.

[heartsink]

Then it's a good thing, that "endearing" isn't something I strive for, huh?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I suppose so. Don't let it eat you up too much, though - it's a rough way to live.

[heartsink]

I prefer to keep my feet steady on the ground, rather than break my bones for falling.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Along as you can keep your eye on the line between realism and nihilism.

Of course. Don't misunderstand me, I don't act this way out of some lack of faith, or inability to see what good exists. I'm not ∗blind∗.
