Today Mest came to apologize to me. He was apologizing for letting Thes get out of hand the other day. After some discussion, i found out that sort of thing happens semi-frequently and is the only reason they have him as the only front line fighter. Anyone else has a high chance of being killed. Usually, when they aren’t fighting Mest watches over him and can react fast enough to restrain the raging bear before he can cause any damage. According to him, it’s happened a couple times since they came to my grove, I just never noticed. This time, however, Mest was distracted at the wrong moment and things turned out bad.

It was stunning how much humility the mage was showing, he was normally uptight and had an air of ‘i know I'm better than you, but I'm too polite to tell you that’. I felt none of that this time, he was genuinely sorry. He didn’t even ask for forgiveness, just said that he will make sure to prevent this from happening again.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Around noon Par came over to brag to me, in his usual almost worshipful manner. Apparently getting attacked by a giant bearzerker the other day triggered something in many of his goblins, and a big chunk of them fell asleep to evolve.

I saw Willow And Tiddol play together today, it looked like Tiddol was teaching Willow how to make rope, while Willow watched and practiced intently. Or at least that's what they were doing when I saw them. After I asked Willow about it a bit later she said that it was something they did all the time, Tiddol loved teaching her and she loved learning. I’m just glad I accomplished that much when we were teaching her about the world, a love of learning will take you far, at least that's what Mest says from time to time. Par too recently, though only really towards his more intelligent followers.
