Ouroboros Spine sobriety test

Heph's name came up—which was no surprise, considering she seemed to know everyone—and Phox put on a big, goofy grin, likely giving away his feelings for her even to a near stranger like Ajei. Chakliux was another name he knew, though Phox wasn't quite sure what to think about the guy. He had two wives, and they all seemed to keep to themselves for the most part. Maybe he should be making more of an effort to get to know the other folks in Moontide. He could make that a priority when he got back.

When Ajei mention mediation, Phox thought bitterly that he could have used somebody like that back when Niamh had been around. It seemed as though they were either madly in love or at each other's throats. Looking back on it now, it never had been the most healthy relationship. Not that he ever wished her dead, but he did wish he had seen things for what they were at the time.

I used to know a gal who liked doing that kind of thing. Her name was—is, I guess, if she's still out there—Sequoia. She said she could see smells. Weirdest thing I'd ever heard of. It was Sequoia who had helped him grieve for his first wife, Camilla.
