Gotta love those runaway posts! Well done, Raven! I concur with Bree. It's been too long since we've heard from Cedric. Most definitely worth the wait, though.

And, yeah, as I was pondering my next bit, I read Randel's letter again and realized that I'd probably miss them. It gave me the sads. I'd have Ch'dau write a letter but he can only read/write Kazari.

Edit: Since I haven't heard from her, as yet, I'm going to assume Reralae is occupied with other things at the moment and, as such, Ch'dau will be making his way to Calestra solo.

Aww... You guys. 

Can't wait to properly meet Siobhan. It'll be cool to see how things will go. She seems like a very interesting person. Let's hope her calling doesn't scare Cedric away.   

And I love reading what goes on with Samuel and Sara in their new life without worry or care... 

...there's a bit of a set-up, I suppose.

Ch'dau has made it to Calestra and will be spending the rest of the afternoon tending to his dealings in the market. Come sundown, he'll make his way to the Bent Copper to meet up with Garion and Evin... and possibly his first encounter with a certain swashbuckling Vidarak?

Also, I see that Rer's on... If you decide that Aranwen will be joining Ch'dau on this trip, after all, Butterfly, just let me know and I'll do a little retcon to that last post.

I missed the ride, Eol!

Sorry about that, I should have made clear what was happening before I got to writing with Sara

Addendum - Whoo, that is one heck of a dream sequence... hoping Cedric shakes off the nightmares

No worries, Butterfly! I can easily retcon Ara's coming along and will do so, soon.

The only reason I went ahead with Ch'dau going solo was because I hadn't seen you around in a couple of days and I assumed you might have been busy... Didn't want to pressure you and all that.

I'll get to editing here in just a bit.

Going by the Long Gamble, huh?

Did that bit just for you, kibibi!

I thought this was Calestra, not Tease City! Aahhh man, greatest city in the world.

Before I remembered the Aldeath's had gone back to Stone's Hollow, I was thinking of having you find him chatting with a certain cleric of Shinara, but oh well. Who knows if the Laughing Maidens are even in Calestra at the moment?

I certainly have no clue.

P.S. YOU KNOW THAT IS MY FAVORITE VILLANELLE GIF *fans self*

...we'll find out sooner or later.

Reralae has added some Aranwen(Sara) bits to the "In Calestra once more" post!

I've updated per her edits so feel free to go give it a re-read!

Very nice, very nice. Well done, well done. Nice to see blade mum feeling better

Einar's and my official first post is up! I had such fun writing it that I might just do it again lol

I'll have the Vidarak's entrance to Calestra up soon enough, hopefully later tonight. For now, enjoy my one-handed boi

Knowing that some portion of the evening will be retelling of the past in the Bent Copper, and that she is like as not to get lost in the past, Aranwen will very likely be visiting a few different locales in the evening, including the Long Gamble.

At least in the beginning; she does plan to join Ch'dau, Garion and Evin a bit later.

Addendum - whoo, that's one heck of a rough journey for Einar. Looking forward to seeing more of him. I'm very curious now...

The Long Gamble, eh? In search of some luck? Some jackpots

*Serah hiding in some nook, reading and monching an apple she stole from Esme*

Great post, CTP!!! Bravo!!!

Also - Noted re: Sara's evening plans. I'll be sure to keep those in mind given that Einar's arrival may very well dump something of a tussle in the midst of the Bent Copper... Ch'dau will certainly want to ensure that's all handled before his wife walks into it.
