Lilith (lvl3)

Once again, circumstances seem to have thrown me together with this same strange group. I know them all, but not much better than anyone else in this town, and I'm not sure that I'd want to know them much better if given the chance. Still, there's something strangely reassuring about having companions that aren't members of my clergy.
It's as if I feel more a part of the rest of the town.

Varak is quiet more often than not, and that suits me fine. Too many people waste words and I don't always have the patience for it. If I were choosing my companions, I think I'd gladly choose someone like him. He's strong and not at all difficult to get along with.

Mailee is also usually agreeable, although she's given to spots of bizarre behavior. I'm not sure I entirely understand her. At one moment, I feel as though we are entirely on the same page, and in the next, she starts spouting off nonsense about not wanting to kill or harm something that's directly attacking us. In spite of her strangeness, I feel as if I can relate to her more than the others in our group. When she's not at her most bizarre, we seem to often see eye to eye.

And as for Thaelyn...

Thaelyn brings out a side in me I didn't know I had, and I don't like it. His drunken and dangerous antics make me want to forget whatever vows I've made to heal and smack him upside his thick skull with my mace until he starts to get an idea of what sense is. I've never seen such recklessness anywhere else, not even from beasts, and many a time in my travels with him I thought he was surely going to kill us all.

But both times we've traveled together, he's been fighting to save his daughter. I've never really met her, but I've seen her, and I recognize her for what she is. She's...she's one of my kind. A mistake, the visual proof of someone doing something that is widely forbidden.

And yet...the people around her don't seem to be repulsed. I know my sight can't be that keen, and they must recognize what she is as well, but they don't react with the sort of revulsion and disgust that I would except. It's almost as if they've accepted her in spite of what she is. And for that reason, stubborn, drunken recklessness or not, I'll continue to adventure alongside Thaelyn for as long as I can survive it. If it...he, or her...if it leads me to understanding how he got people to accept something so hideous, maybe someday, I won't feel the need to hide anymore.
