A friend, hey? Rough or not, I get that. Sometimes it makes things feel a little closer to home.

I'm glad for you!

[headhunt]

i should introduce you two
you'd dig her

speaking of home
she makes seedcakes that are out of this world
a little taste of faerun right here

do you ever cook anything from home?

[activatingcombatmode]

Sure, yeah! We've got a bar night on the Seventh Heaven happening soon. Feel free to stop by, both of you.

I've never heard of seedcakes before. What are they? Some kind of grain pastry?

I can make some mean scrambled eggs but I don't think I've got much of a specialty. Just enough cooking skills not to burn a ship down.

[headhunt]

( > karlach approves )

whoa! a bar night! i'm there!
any special reason?

or are you guys just cool like that?

it's like
a sweet thick cake? with tasty seeds all throughout
sometimes they have buttery icing

[activatingcombatmode]

Great! We'll be happy to see you! It's mostly to celebrate a year on the ship. Crazy that it's been a whole year already. Time flies.

[And totally not his birthday at all or anything nope.]

Those cakes sound damn delicious too.

[headhunt]

wow has it been a year already?

that's crazy
incredible
but crazy

guess i'll bring some extra special alcohol tonight

[activatingcombatmode]

Yup, a whole year for my crew!

I'd say that's a call for more booze. Let's drink together!

[headhunt]

how's it feel?

with a year having passed and all?

( is it gonna be partially drinking to forget? because she could get on board with that too. )

[activatingcombatmode]

It feels... pretty surreal, if you ask me. Like it went by too quickly.

To be honest with you, I'm in no rush to get back home.

[headhunt]

yeah? nothing for you back where you're from?

[activatingcombatmode]

Sure there is but there's more important things for me here, now. Don't feel like leaving the love of my life behind, and all that romantic jazz.

[headhunt]

gods
really
are you serious

you found the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE HERE?
zack dude
that's so fucking awesome

[activatingcombatmode]

Haha! Yeah, I would say so! Don't feel like leaving him behind, you know?

That's the other side about staying around in this world instead.

[headhunt]

i got it
i wouldn't either if i were you

but
i hadn't thought about it until now
about the people i can't take home with me

that's kind of scary

[activatingcombatmode]

Hey, don't think it's scary or anything like that. If we leave or if other people leave or not, I think it's great that we can make these connections in the first place. It's important.

Hang onto that part, not the scary part.

[headhunt]

you're right
all the time we have with people is precious

but i've been so happy here
that it's scary to think about losing it
you know?

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah. I get it.

All the more reason to make the best of what we got now. Fight hard, love hard, live hard. Right?

[headhunt]

( smiles when she reads the message. )

hell yeah! fuck yeah! that's right!!

FIGHT HARD
LOVE HARD
LIVE HARD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[activatingcombatmode]

Oh yeah!! You got it! That's the spirit! When you go hard you go hard!

[headhunt]

what about your home though
won't you miss it?

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah I guess I would. But at the same time I don't think they need me there.

[headhunt]

what do you mean?

why wouldn't they need you? you seem like a capable guy.

[activatingcombatmode]

Thanks, yeah. I think I am. But they've got this whole story going on that doesn't really involve me, you know?

[He's trying very, very hard not to mention that he's ... uh... Kind of dead. Back home. Yeah. Trying to keep it positive!! Hoo boy.]

[headhunt]

( hmm. )

i think i get it.

( no, she's definitely misunderstood. )

for what it's worth zack
i always like having you around

[activatingcombatmode]

[She's great. He's touched, anyway. It's better if people don't get the depressing side of his story.]

Thanks, Karlach. I feel the same way. If you ever want to hang, or need my help? I'm there.
