Poe's Journal Entry
I awoke today…my head wasn’t hurting like I thought it would on the two glasses of wine. Either everyone was asleep or had left, the ship was quiet. I packed some belongings. I need time away from the ship and Rose offered to let me stay with her in Ul’dah. I received a note as I was headed off the ship down the docks. From Davin of all people.
He told me he had gotten into a bit of a bind and could use the help of a charming female. Typical…I am not some lap dog he gets to call when he needs help. But I love Relan like he was my own father, so I went. It’s the second time I have sprung someone from jail this week. The same guard was there and rolled her eyes when she saw me. No song and dance this time. I simply paid his fines and he was released.
He swept me up and planted a kiss on my cheek. A few years ago I would have melted, but now…Regardless, he was caught lifting coin pouches off of patrons down at the bar. It’s odd, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had stayed wrapped up in the idea of him. I let him know I was doing this because poor Relan would be furious if he knew. I am sure Relan does know, but no need to include him in Davin’s foolish antics.
A glass of mead and a cigar later, Davin and I were caught up. He has been running with a crew, nothing big but it keeps his belly full and a place to sleep at night. He joked of enjoying a new wench every night. Pig…what did I see in him years ago? But his new line of work could be helpful. He mentioned his crew might need some help soon enough. I told him I would consider it.
My priorities lay with those I love and care about. I need to contact Carter, I need to know Lina is safe. And then we need to get rid of the awful voidsent and get Rose back to normal. I want to make sure Keldion is ok too. Rose said he was being odd…almost nice. I told her she should go to dinner with him last night. She seemed unsure about the timing. And S’anhu? I haven’t said anything, but I can sense he isn’t speaking all his thoughts. Sadness perhaps? I don’t know, he won’t talk to me about it. I guess he has who he needs to talk to…
