Taking the Elven Dagger Des quickly sliced out only the one page that she needed from the back of her new journal a sat to write a letter as fast as she could.
Dear Boy Toy,
I have very important news for you that can not wait! A man that is highly regarded among the slavers is in a VERY foul mood and looking for a fight. He is totally pissed that the scum sucking salamander dared to assess my potential and then attempted to terrorize me by speaking to me in my mind.
Please trust me when I say you do not want to tangle with this one. This particular person is looking to get involved ONLY because I now work in what he considers HIS territory to chose from. He has been known to collar Callers in the past. Do not worry though I am safe from him trying to own me.
He knows how I feel about that and would not do that to me. He has agreed to give me the protection of his name now against the scum sucking salamander and since they do know each other this apparently will get the scum sucking salamander to leave me alone and possibly even get him the fight that he is longing for with someone.
I almost got in a ring with him at the time but the rings in the Outback are not warded and dang but he was in a foul mood that night. He calmly informed me that I needed to be very sure I wanted to do that. Even though I don?t back down from a fight even I could see that it was not the time or place to be taking him on.
I did tell him that I would happily fight him another night when he wasn?t in such a nasty mood. I should clarify this. I had challenged him. He didn?t challenge me to that fight. I picked the wrong guy for certain sure that time and thankfully this here time I realized it before it was too late!
That is the update that I have for you on the scum sucking salamander situation. Do you have any news? I?m feeling rather left out since I have been mostly staying at home or working this past week. Well I have been to the Cemetery a couple of times but I?m not counting that.
I know you must be pretty shocked and horrified by all the rumors flying around town about me and although I don?t owe anyone any explanations I do care about you and I know that you do care about me and so I am gonna tell you a little bit about what is going on.
Gav and I first met about 13 years ago in the Arena the first time I worked there. It was love at first sight. Believe it or not I was kind of shy back then and didn?t say anything. Well he didn?t say anything either. Since neither of us said anything to the other we went our separate ways and ended up both of us in unhappy marriages back then.
Once you love somebody a part of your heart always loves them. Well unless you end up in a horrid divorce or something like that and that love gets twisted to hatred but that had never happened to Gav and I. We had just kept that love hidden from each other, thinking it was not returned by the other, and got involved with other people.
So now you know why it is so important to me when I see people that look like they have a chance of falling in love with each other, or that might already be having feelings for each other, to help them along in expressing those feelings to each other from the very beginning.
Gav and I missed out on so very many years of happiness and don?t get me wrong now Brian I would not trade the time, short though it was, that I had with my Beloved French Pirate, and he will always hold a special place in my heart, for anything in the entire world but wishing for what I can?t have back is only going to get me sitting around crying and drinking and missing out on my second chance at love.
Which reminds me... How are things going with you and Charlotte? I want to come to the wedding but I still don?t know when it is.
Love,
Des
