"This sucks." I was sitting huddled at Val's bar, it was cold, well it was still cold as the cold had never really left I just had. It still sucked though, everyone wasn't sick or anything, but the cold remained. Lingering like a bad party guest no one has the guts to tell to go home. The magical heat relic of Vaygo's lands was smashed, Guthlu told me no one should have that power and I since I'd let him and his compatriot get tortured was not in a position to say anything differently. I felt stupid about that sitting cold in a bar while Val looked at me with his usual look of contempt.
"Yes it does Trezlan, why don't you go home and leave me be?"
"Because you are my one true love Val, I just can't bring up the courage to admit that." He scoffed and walked off and I at least got a smile out of his discomfort. The bar was fairly empty, but I couldn't fault people for staying in seeing as the cold and the last time people gathered in groups there was a huge illness explosion. Still I was a bit sad for the lack of company. Unthankfully Nidget chose to reemerge at this exact moment.
"Oh so you bother to come back to work now?" I wasn't at work, so this seemed completely unfair to say I had.
"Nidget of all days today is not the day I'm dealing with you."
"Today is the day you are dealing with me, work is piling up Trezlan and so are the bills so get your stupid ass back to the store or I swear to the gods I'll burn it down." I half considered just letting the midget do it and save me from my misery. But no I was good so I trudged home to get back to work. I tell you I can see the allure of being evil, its a lot more liberating!
