A few days ago, several of us took a trip to Winterspring so we could all talk to Verrin regarding some individual matters when it came to our roles within the Syndicate of Secrets.
I had little to discuss with Verrin, really, since he wouldn’t talk about what was on his mind – namely why he asked me to speak with him a week or so ago. I’m guessing it has something to do with Mazikeen and their break-up. I don’t really know what I should say to him when the topic comes up, I honestly don’t. I’m not the best when it comes to relationships; that fact should be obvious by now.
What we did discuss, however, was the ‘buddy system’ that Verrin had imposed on the guild while I was, erm, ‘indisposed’. This system, he said, was made so that we can understand each others’ strengths and weaknesses when it comes to combat as well as get to know each other on an individual level. It’s a nice idea, but at the same time I don’t see it as very necessary. I don’t like imposing on other people when they don’t feel like opening up.
I was originally paired with Vistor, a warlock. I barely know him though I did attend his and Alinor’s wedding a few months back. I wouldn’t mind getting to know him, but just being near Fel magic just makes me ill. I suppose Miss Tamrin realized this, as she spoke up to Verrin on my behalf. She told him that it wouldn’t be in my best interest to be in the vicinity of such strong Fel magic, especially when I was still recovering.
Verrin seemed to understand, and decided to pair me with another ‘buddy’. I am now paired with a Druid named Basi, a former pirate. “You can talk about gardening and healing magics,” he said (well, something to that effect, at least). I’m stupefied. I’m willing to give it a try, but this new set up seems much more ridiculous, to be honest.
