Captain Morgan Ashford
Feb 5
Love was in the air even before this festival started. Love kept our army strong and united as we marched on the Aspect of Death. And as soon as the Cataclysm was averted, it blossomed all around me like a field welcoming Spring,
Tonight we were told of another couple tying the knot sometime soon. Xodius and Faila. I am never too keen on them taking such step now, and I believe they know that. But I decided long ago to no longer try to dissuade them. It's their lives. They are happy, I am happy. They promised to let us know once they choose a date and place, and I will be glad to be there, if they allow me to witness the moment their paths become one.
Then there's the new lives soon to arrive. I did not ask Abi about her pregnancy when I saw her at the Mug, even though I wanted to. After all, she appears to wish to keep it under wraps for as long as she can. I got the feeling she was reluctant to tell me, even. Which did strike me as odd. But I will respect her wish for privacy.
Savvy and I have advanced greatly on our own plans. Our wedding party is complete. Our getaway is chosen as well. Now if only we could choose a location. I shall scout some more soon.
This is our first Love is in the Air festival together, and she mentioned this is her favorite holiday. So it shall be a festival to remember, and we will celebrate it accordingly. Two weeks. Now there's a challenge I will relish. I can always sleep later.
We started the celebration as we stumbled upon a location that was perfect for our honeymoon. It was fittingly broken in. Later on we took a boat ride. While the company was unmatched, it did seem woefully short and small to me, but I reckon that is due to me being accustomed to my large ship and my long travels.
Savvy was tired, so we secured a room in a hostal she was familiar with. I tucked her in and since I did not feel too tired I anwered Jarrick's summons to share a pint or two. I was mildly surprised to see Sarah with him. Sarah's love had seemed to be blossoming of late, slow though it might had been... only in a different direction. But I decided not to ask questions.
I still owe Sarah a chat. I will track her down today. I wonder what she wishes to discuss with me. I also want to ask her about Arianna. My thoughts have hardly strayed too far from her ever since I learned of her current circumstances. I feel compelled to help in any way I can. It is a bloody pity. She did not deserve such treatment. No woman does. And I expected far more from that wan her so called husband. I am deeply disappointed. I hope to never see him again. My impulse to punch him would be hard to restrain.
All my worries are melting away as I gaze at Savvy's peaceful features. That familiar warm feeling courses through my entire being as my eyes travel along her alluring form. Should I...?
Love is in the air, after all.
