K-Nut

Althior had stayed up a long time thinking about his quest, his responsibilities, and most of all, leaving Alexis behind. He felt very uncomfortable about it. He walked into the saloon to see Alexis sitting there. "So when do you want to go on this last date before we separate?"

Hey! That was gonna be a Christmas Present! Nah, he'll be mad about leaving Alexis.

"Really, being together is enough for me,"

I think Masked left out an "else" in there. Don't forget that Doc did the Trick or Treating thing! For people in Quest #17, don't expect a stroll in the park! Althior won't be so easy on you guys!

"Whatever you want! I'd be more than happy to go to dinner again!"

"Well, the quest doesn't star until early next week, so we have plenty of time for fun," "Anything you'd like to do?"

"Well, I'm a bit nervous, but there's 7 other members helping me out, so I'll be fine. I might accidentally burn down a building or two, but I'll get the hang of it eventually. " He was glad she wasn't too depressed, and hoped she'd be fine without him.

Althior, seeing his new rank of party leader, decided to make the right preparations. He went to Portia's and Bought two potions, one Mead, One Nostrum, and one Remedy. (50-5-5-10-20-10=0 gold remaining,)

Althior saw he was not only chosen for Quest #17, but Party Leader as well! He was about to leap for joy but saw that the love of his life, Alexis, had not been chosen. He frowned as he looked to her depressed expression. He hoped a nice kiss would lighten her spirits. EDIT: LIFE! LIFE! NOT WIFE!

Did I see Kreo?

Althior walked back into the hall after a great night of sleep. He sat down, hoping to see Alexis again before the Quest started and one of them would probably have to leave.

"Aww, , He decides to kiss her back, "You want to drop in and say hi to Finnegan at the room?"

Once they finish dinner at the restaurant down the street, major events occur. "This was nice, right?" He polishes off his plate. As he does, he slips a printed piece of parchment toward Alexis. She opens it and it reads: Writ of Round-trip Aquatic Transport; Goes wherever you do! "I bought two," He said as she looked up, "they never expire, so you can go whenever you want!" He smiled at her, "I realized with a Quest starting tomorrow, you might want to wait a while," He realized that with a Quest starting tomorrow, this would probably be their last meal together for a while. "Do you like it?"

"I don't think they'll die. I mean, they're revived after every battle they fall in with one health! Did Tesni tell you about her weird voice? I'm a bit puzzled by it,"

"I'm glad!" He said with a nice grin on his face "Oh boy, now I'm going to have to tell Finnegan I'll be home a little later than expected, I'll be right back," He left her with a kiss on the cheek. As he walked out he thought to himself. 'Oh the look she'll have!' He went to get something to trade to a local merchant. This was going to be good! He came back in with a bit of paper sticking out of his pocket, he tucked it in before Alexis could see it. He wiped away the great grin on his face as he sat back down. "Do you think the others are doing well on their quests?" In truth, he hadn't seen his friends Docken or Cronk in a while, but at the moment he didn't care.

His eyes seemed to go back from the pleading matter into a depressed matter. He knew he'd brought up home, in a way to hit on her! He was better than that. He should've known that something like that could be depressing around the holiday season. "How about we go to dinner tonight to lighten your spirit? Just you and me alone. Does that sound good?" He smiled, hoping this could help her, for she depressed him when she was unhappy.

He looked up, knowing she was lying. "What is it? What do I need to do to help you?" He was afraid he'd done something wrong, had he moved in to fast? Had he put her off edge? His eyes pleaded a bit as he looked at Alexis.

He looked up to Alexis after his normal morning stage of deep thinking. He smiled, "I'm doing well, but I had another long night of sleep," He frowned, thinking of what he thought of during the night, "How are you today Alexis?" He knew she'd been thinking about something, he needed to know what, though.

Althior sat down the following day, exhausted. He had spent the whole night thinking of his home and family. He never really had a home, but for him, Heroica was close enough. He'd had friends, he'd helped people, and what's more, he had Alexis.

"No, I haven't," He leaned in and kissed her, "I'm tired, so I'm heading to bed. See you in the morning." He smiled as he left.

"Uhm," He said, "He was asking if he could get some lessons from me for some spells! Yeah that's it, but I said I'd help him some other time. I was a bit preoccupied at the moment."

OOC: He's on a quest.

"Oh she is! I was working on my mage studies when I heard them. Don't make me put it in detail." Althior jots down a name on the pad: Haldor

"Well, she was kind, and a player if I may say so!" He laughed, "Don't ask me how many boyfriends she had! She was a kind soul, but seemed to change everything about herself when her current husband came along. His name escapes me even today." He looks to the other mage, "What are you doing over there? Staring at us? Do you want me to set that notepad on fire?" He grasps his ruby.
