Maybe the spirits decided I'd had enough time playing around in that sort of mindset. [Just. Gesturing to himself being stuck in bed now.] I can't say I want to end up like this again. Nor do I want to throw pity parties.
If I can't spend some time regretting my mistakes, I will just repeat them. So let this old man be sour for a day, and you can judge me freely afterwards.
We didn't have the energy for it. Ithaqua was the only one who could fly himself back to the portal - Robin had to carry the moon rock in dragon form, so the rest of us just hitched a ride with him, yourself included.

[He will keep harassing you old man, the only escape is when they're done with this place and able to leave (allegedly).]
You didn't miss much afterwards, by the way.
no subject
Mm, and here I was worried we weren't going to get back to that question.
I remember Tatara and G'raha arriving, but nothing after that... Did anyone go to check the City of Ice for damages?
