Wanderings and wonderings

I remember the last night I spent in the 'village'... The fire had been lighted, and Celia's soul sent to the gods, whichever ones it was she called upon. The proper songs played, sang, and danced to. Overall, a fair send off.
I left suddenly, even for a gypsy, not even saying farewell to Kalystra and her family. I feel some guilt over this, being they were the closest thing I had to a family, my own adorning pikes on the way to the castle of Vlad, the Impaler.
I had to leave, my prey was getting away. I searched for 3 years, finally coming to these lands. I fell in with a group that called themselves 'Eidolon.' Not a group that one would consider wholly trustworthy, though Mr Z only made one large mistake, but they had 2 things that intrigued me. One, was a gypsy called Lime. A talented and beautiful dancer she was, with a good deal of talent for gypsy magick as well, something becoming rare. The second was contacts. Contacts that I might be able to use to find that which I sought.

Then I met a girl. Well, there were many girls that I met, and many of them quite lovely. Yes, I took notice. But one in particular caught my attention. A beautiful French girl named Naeva, though I nicknamed her 'Belle.'
She invited me to her apartment, well, more requested that I play pack mule and carry some armor and such for her. The apartment was brick, and wholly stationary... quite hideous on the outside. But the inside was very well decorated, a nice place. She then decided that I was a good pack animal and asked me to transfer some goods from her apartment to a houseboat... Yes, a houseboat. All the comfort of 'home' and still able to be off on the sea or rivers at a moments notice, the best of both worlds. She is a beautiful girl, yet she has an innocence about her that makes her even more appealing. Yet she seems not to know that she is. She also has yet to realize what power she has, and could have, over men. Her freckles are quite adorable, and nicely spread out so as to make a nice long game of 'connect the dots.' I think that it is entirely possible that I love her... I haven't felt this way since Celia...
And I reunited with Kalystra. It was good to see her again. She had grown into a lovely woman in the 3 years that had passed. I was saddened to hear that her family had disappeared suddenly. And she had a man in tow... a moored man, who thought he knew what the life was that he promised her that he would live... but he has no clue. No one can understand other than one of us. Well, no, her father did, as much as any non-gypsy could... He was.. He IS a good man, and they will be found... *sigh*

I am putting down the quill, and closing the bottle of ink.. I will have to get more...
