Spoilers for AMoL may occur

You're surprised that everything happened over the span of two years? I can agree that it feels as if it's been a lot longer. It's a relief to know how everything plays out, even if I don't experience it personally.

Now, you've done your part finishing the series, though I would have preferred you slept those last few hours rather than fording on, but it was a gamble you took and won. I have a lot to get on with, and I don't think life is going to get any less exciting even if I'm stuck where I'm at now.

You best be getting on with what you've promised to do, spoken or not.

It rarely does. A calm, boring life is not our lot, I think. Not for those of us that call someone else's head home. Even if they eventually dump us somewhere.

[A pause]

Especially if they dump us somewhere.

I was in a game, once. Living like the Sea Folk isn’t something I want to repeat anytime soon.

Luckily they have to juggle their own lives as well as ours no matter what their plans, and even then, there is no shortage of happenings.

You’ve found yourself in a game then, I take it?

[cordelisse]

I've found myself in a few, off and on. And I've always ended up in more than my fair share of trouble. Which is, I suspect, the point. She can’t stop from throwing me into dangerous situations, and I can’t just walk away.

There’s just the one, for the moment, though. Thankfully. Although I wouldn’t be surprised to find myself at another, sometime in the future. Not when there are games with dragons, and the rebirth of a came I called home back when it was on Livejournal.

Finding trouble is easy as breathing when the muns hold the reins. I think they just like mucking about, meddling worse than Aes Sedai, and just as likely to listen to protests.

I can see the need to see something through, no matter how much you might not have wanted to start.

Are they worth the time to get into here? Most people I've talked to find themselves in a game one way or another.

[cordelisse]

It really is. I would have to agree, they do seem to enjoy mucking about. The more trouble the better, it seems.

You know, that’s a good way of putting it. Although it’s more that if there’s trouble, I’d rather stand between it and those that are unaware of the danger.

I think so. I mean, I’d rather not be yanked away from home to be a candidate for a bizarre version of The Bachelor, or live in a shadow realm based off a video game my mun happens to enjoy, but if I’m going to end up somewhere, it might as well be someplace interesting.

And it’s nice to get out of her headspace once and a while.

The Bachelor. [Now that is a mad idea, and he's heard some pretty wild things in his life. The modern world goes out of its way to make things uncomfortable for the people in it.]

So much effort for something that could have been settled in an afternoon. Courting is fine and well, and some actually like the attention, but it shouldn't have to be a spectacle.

The change of scene is always nice, I'll grant you that, and at least the trouble they do stir up have decided outcomes even if they are cryptic about it.
