![]() ![]() Many questions were budding in his mind-and as they usually are, were at once answered and multiplied by the sight of Jester Lavorre’s sharp, toothy grin. He had a brief moment of hope that the peace of his evening would be restored when the van passed his driveway, but it soon left as it screeched to a halt and backed up into a hairpin turn to sit in the yard, leaving skid marks on the admittedly unkempt lawn. His chill evaporated even further as he spotted a dark green camper van tearing its way down the dirt road, repeatedly blaring what was apparently its custom horn. He sat up with a groan and shaded his eyes to search for the source of the not peaceful or sweet music. Just as he was beginning to feel ‘at peace with Exandria,’ and ‘appreciate the ebb and flow of nature,’ or whatever Caduceus was always talking about in those guided meditation classes, this happened. The chirping of birds of the day was giving way to the calming harmonies of the night which in turn melted into the sweet melody of… La Cucaracha?įjord sighed. His tense muscles were just starting to unwind and his mind calmed as he listened to the sounds all around him. She was an elf who’d purred the name, “ Avantika,” in his ear when she’d slipped her number into his back pocket and she was not at all subtle about copping a feel when she did.Īfter all that and the traffic jam on his way home, Fjord just wanted to sit back and relax. He’d even been strong-armed into helping a particularly forceful customer, which never happened on the ship. It was his off-season job, for when he wasn’t out on the water, but it wasn’t any easier than maintaining a ship. He’d been doing backbreaking work at the flea market all day, hauling fish and running packages from booth to booth. ![]() Fjord had just settled into nap on the hammock outside his and Beau’s ranch-style house. Clouds covered the sky in a fluffy, light grey blanket, the kind of day where you just knew it was going to rain and you didn’t have to go out in it.
