Miwa - Side Thoughts and Deal Making

A comment from Miwa she wanted added to the Journal.

I saw something on my way to finish the deal with the Mantid from earlier that reminded me of Donkey, I picked it up on the way, it's this pretty jewel in the shape of a daisy flower.. As for the deal it seems the mantid gave up her number in this game to this "Mr. Behemy", I accompanied her to meet him and to be fully paid before I handed over the creature. She already approved the deal with the Ultros parasite and gave me something that reminded me of Varrin.. A white bow and an admittedly pretty Violin.. 

Gathrin told me it could make me better understand and express my feelings by playing it. I've tried it a couple of times now and the sound is soothing. Is this why he likes them? Seems straightforward but still a steep skill climb. Music and festivities was important to all of them.. Gathrin has given me many pointers as did Gabranth once we had met. He was very patient and kind to me. 

Only a few years my senior. I felt calm around him. Seems we're both seen as monsters due to something we can't control. He spoke to me like I was an equal and let me vent some of my frustrations. It took some of the pain off my chest and the burden on my shoulders.. 

He let me and my group rest there and enjoy some time to ourselves for a little while. Ended up going back to the academy, hoping to use their library, and saw the githyanki that was in Varrins group teleport back in. 

Realizing what that meant I went back and coaxed Donkey to go back to them, he forgot his food I made for him.. I shouldn't have cared that much but it kept nagging at me. I wanted to help them but why and why did it feel good to make sure Donkey got his lunch? 

I later called him and told him my coordinates as I wasn't gonna be near Roland.. I later returned to Behemy and finished the deal before both the members of my groups realized we were being scryed on. 

The second time I called he asked me if I wanted to talk to Varrin and I...

"A broken heart, mended by magic steeped in poison. A tender love, a venom dark and sweet. Five years given to you of life shared, from a grieving mother, to a broken child. Power formed from good intentions festered and rotten. I can give you what I couldn't give her but it'll cost you who you were, a name given and a name received. When you're ready to accept. Tell me with your heart. My little spider, I will teach you how to spin this pain into a beautiful tapestry. Let me guide you through the web of lies, towards a new dawn. When you're ready... Ava.."
