We didn't stay for the after-party as fairy parties usually involved dancing — lots of dancing, the kind that made your toes bloody afterward. Plus, neither Aura, Luca nor I were really in the mood for revelries.
Aura and I were bummed over the implications of the past few days. Luca was bummed because he missed it. Priorities, right?
I mean, he should at least have been pissed that someone stole his face, but no, he was more pissed that he didn't get to see it first-hand.
So, we skedaddled out of Shärleden as quickly as we could while stealing Aura away from her duties as Princess Aurana too which was a bonus in her opinion. Especially since Chris Pint was ceaseless in his attempts to flirt with her.
Besides, there were a lot of preparations to be made before the Foolhardies and I could make our transfer to Great General Garm's western army official. That meant a homecoming back to the home base for some planning and a little bit of R&R.
