>>5809435Along the way, you reflected on your experiences in the wastes, finding that you certainly felt more worldly—well-traveled as you hadn’t been in years, or maybe ever. Some of the experiences you’d had out here in the Goblin Wastes weren’t ones you wished to repeat, but you had been exposed to people and situations you never would have if you’d stayed close to home. You’d gotten hat you came for, and more.

>Athleticism>Sociability>CourageIt did indeed prove a long trip, though once she’d gone about her strange dominance display, the little green woman beside you seemed mostly to stare out the window in silence, stroking her feathered friend and saying nothing. Pearce, for his part, was similarly silent—though long stretches of comfortable quietude were not uncommon to your friend. Your father gabbed rather incessantly, noting various landmarks outside the rolling carriage and how they reminded him of his youthful adventures, but found Terzo the driver most responsive to his rambling—which was to say, he got the occasional grunt or polite question from the man.
Did you break the silence?
>You asked Zith-Zi how she'd come to lead the goblins of her band>You attempted to befriend Hershy, and to assess his health>You discussed the Ashurati at large, and the unique fey spirits of this region>You chatted with Pearce about the coming school-year... Which, you supposed, you were already late in attending>Skip the chat, it's time to go homeYou also found yourself uniquely reflecting upon your father, Rudolfo. He had been unexpectedly adept in battle, a real boon... But also, hadn't he sworn to you to clean up his act? Yet here he was, carousing and caroling into the wee hours with goblins and even taking them to BED! And that's not to speak of his striking out in the same endevaour with the Ashurati maidens.
How did you feel about him, after this trip?
>Grateful, even if he's still rather... Unconventional. You'd have to thank him properly for this when you had the chance.>You were embarrassed by his antics, and intended to have a talk about this behaviour with him when you had a moment alone.>You were, you had to admit, impressed... Even proud. perhaps you could stand to spend more time with him, and to meet your other human relatives, when you had the time?[Write-ins are permitted, except for the stat increase]
