Gather the meat from all the forest friends you zapped.

Katia! You missed all the major plot events!

Whaaaat?

So many interesting and exciting things happened since you left! There was death, destruction, action, adventure, romance, drama! Even just as an insignificant background character, your presence would’ve been incredibly helpful. Would’ve, because it’s all over now. Anyway, come upstairs, we’re eating ice cream.

How’d the trip to Anvil go? You made it there and back faster than I would’ve expected.

Actually, I just kinda didn’t go? I was waiting for a friend who agreed to travel with me, but I wasn’t entirely sure when he was going to show up, so I decided to-

Sigrid clarifies that she wasn’t actually curious, she was just asking to be nice. The response she was looking for was “it went well”. Sorry, you say. She says it’s fine; she’s still re-learning how to get people to respond correctly without mind control. She’ll try to make it clearer next time.

Don’t forget to float that meat over to the hot frost atronach, which is a thing we have now instead of a cold closet. What is it, venison?

Mostly, but maybe also some wings? You explain that you went hunting with a new short-range lightning spell you picked up, but the specifics of which six animals you killed are kind of ambiguous.

Stephane, look! We got the whole guildhall together!

Oh, you say, making eye contact with Stephane. Are you guys… still friends? I’m not sure where we all stand right now, after the whole thing.

I’m helping her clean up the ramifications of her actions, Stephane says.

He’s still convinced I’m a destined hero chosen by the gods to save the world from certain destruction, Sigrid says.

I think a reasonable person would have to admit that her handling of today’s numerous situations showed a competence above that of an ordinary mage, he says.

He doesn’t recognize that most of that was pure luck, Sigrid says. What ice cream flavor do you want?

Ah, rocky road if you have it?

And if anything is a sign of divine favor, it would be unnatural luck, Stephane says.

I want them to fuck, the flame atronach says.

And how about you? Your trip to Anvil and back went well, I hope?

Oh! Actually, it…

Went fine!
