Well, I'm back. It seems I ended up in the Southlands somehow, which was interesting, I suppose. It was warm, at least, and not here, and not my homeland either, which was really all I was looking for.
What I was not looking for was to accidentally get somehow involved in a bandit skirmish, play host to a human parasite even more irritating than anyone here, have my horse stolen during the night, and narrowly escape being...chained...and sold into slavery. While such events are technically a change of pace from the routine of running a shop, they are very much...less than desirable. However, I managed to recover the horse unharmed and return here, all without any injury worth mention, albeit with a few more side trips. In any case, all that is over with, and I've returned and will be working at the shop again soon...after a few days of rest, I think.
So, you see, I can and have always been able to take care of myself. And no, I most likely will not elaborate on any of that. Especially the slave traders, whom...I rather doubt survived the encounter anyway.
