Redtail Rise [m] bolero

keeping this vague!

After his time away was done, Ashlar slipped back into the Rise with a somewhat chagrined demeanor.  Once he had some distance, he realized the complications he had introduced by being so swept up with Chacal.  And yet the bard still glowed with the memory of everything that had taken place.  He felt light and conflicted at the same time.  What came next?

If they noticed he was gone, they would ask, and Ashlar knew he would not lie.  He did not feel any shame for how he felt about her but he was ashamed that it distracted him from his promise here.  He had to see his promise to Avicus through.  But that did not mean he couldn't think of the siren, and visit the cliffs as soon (and often) as he was able.
