I returned to Ul'dah with my job complete and a broken collarbone. The job was as I expected. I think the male who hired me wanted to get his family away from danger and it still followed. If they will be safe where they are, I am not sure, but that is not my concern. I hope them the best and that the wind blows at their back. Those who attacked me are still alive. I don't see the point in ending lives to protect lives if it is not wholly necessary. My eldest brother would call that a mistake. Father would be silent on the matter. I miss them.
My broken bone is set and mending. With it is limited work I can do until I've recovered. Or until I can hide the injury enough that no one will notice. I asked Mesa to help me since my younger sister is not present to assist with the process. I got him and Roehs a gift from the city I went to since I heard that is what friends do here. Mesa liked his gift and had one for me. Roehs I have not found yet, but I will.
If my brother was here, he would laugh at my attempts with Mesa. I fumble a good bit and my initial request for him to disarm me did not land as I hoped. I tried another way and that worked. Now there is a bit of his ash with me. My face keeps heating up when I think of it. The intention to come to this land wasn't for this, but I don't regret it. He is something special and I want to explore it. This bracelet he gifted me that he is embarrassed by is my favorite so far.
His tribe is very colorful. Many personalities and voices. But they all come together well, even if when they clash. It reminds me of when my sisters and I would brawl. All good intentions and bad approaches as mother would say. I see why Mesa calls this place his home. There is that element of family here in all aspects.
In this lull of work, I will need to find a place to find a group to work under. Freelancing is not a poor tactic, but I know the importance of having a collective mindset. I will keep my eyes open for opportunities.
