Northstar Vale find your feet

He nearly lost his footing when she put half her weight on him, and he let his rear end sink down to compensate. Adjustments would be learned, just like anything else. He could do this.

-Long story,- he spoke and signed. -But the short version is that I'm here after a bit of a detour.- Despite all that he had been through, especially in the last few years, he felt relatively optimistic about things. He had made a good life for himself in Mereo, but he felt his time there had come to an end. Besides, what kind of warrior could he be while missing a leg? Or even a hunter? Perhaps those tasks were best left to those who still had all their supporting body parts, and he could focus on his stargazing a bit more.

-How are you? And Maxim? And the kids?- He still didn't have the connection with the latter that he had hoped for, but maybe he could fix that now that he was living amongst them once again and not spending his time at the sparring ring.
