Relatively Normal

"You are not Hanlon, I swear we've had this conversation before." I'd filled Val in on the comings and goings since I'd been gone, he was of course trying to rebuild his tavern and I was not helping because it wasn't my tavern (my shop had managed to come through unscathed from the shelling because I'm a god, and my shop is apparently in the one part of town no one cares enough to blow up).

"But what if I was Val? What if I'm some kind of weird split personality guy who has some how manifested a better more competent version of myself?" This hurt to admit to.

"Would this more intelligent version of you leave me alone when I'm busy?"

"I said more competent not intelligent, its impossible to be smarter than myself." Val harumphed and went back to nailing something to nailing in more floorboards.

"Don't you have family or something you could be bothering? Nidget, Therod anyone?"

"The family I didn't kill I have no real connection to."

"I'd say that's sad Trezlan but knowing you I'm sure you're proud of that."

"I am not proud of not really knowing the rest of my family, just mildly amused, I mean I've lived hundreds of years but my lasting impact is that I run a store in a city that seems to basically survive between calamities."

"That's pretty sad Trezlan, maybe you should try an connect with a family member, you know pretend you actually give a shit about the world, maybe you'll find out you do?"

"Well it couldn't hurt to take a vacation to warmer climates!"

"Right of course because if there's one thing you need its to do less work than you already do."

"Yes, yes, this exactly, thanks Val I'm going to book a passage today!"

"Fantastic, now just forget to come back and my life would be complete." I ignored Valrym and made my way back to my store, I had to look up some old geneology maps I'd plotted out years ago and try and find a living decedent of my family. I mean sure they wouldn't really be that connected to me as a Lorentino, but no one really ever is and thats no reason to hold it against them. Much.

As it turned out as it is in all of my pursuits in life, I arrived at exactly the right time to save somone from themselves, because I'm helpful like that. And I also got to sink a pirate ship, so that's always a plus!
