Neverwinter Forest I’m here on funky business

A wild lunch post appears!

It had been long enough that for the most part Mal was just getting used to things feeling grim. He wasn't cheery necessarily still, but as he spotted her and wandered over he certainly wasn't as weighted down as he had been back a while ago, but the shadow of it still lingered not too far behind, just in case it needed to rear its head. Not really, just patrols and that sort of thing. Was hoping to run into you though -- I've missed you, you know? he said with a smile. Okay, the smile wasn't goofy or super broad, but with everything that had gone on, probably was understandable. It wasn't like he never ran into her any more, but he'd gotten used to her staying with him, and now she wasn't and Mal himself was dragged in about twenty different directions that didn't lend themselves too well to long conversations. 

And did you see Miriam is back? Okay, more like smell, but that sounded weird, the important thing here was the obvious lack of Asmoses. And that thread in general didn't seem like it was going too well in general so it was pretty fresh and heavy on his mind.
