This is something you can't solve by choking it out :P Skaar showed up out of the blue with another woman in tow and he's asking her about the baby. Nah, she isn't going to be happy about that.
Bah, where's Arista out when I need advice on consoling a woman? =P
Did she get the thing with her employer sorted out?
Not yet. Hopefully, it'll be settled tomorrow.
She says she hasn't consoled many women, she's usually the cause of them needing consoling.
In that case, Skaar and her have a lot in common!
Now she wants me to redact that statement...
Which one, the employer or the consoling?
The consoling.
Heh, no work tonight?
Yeah, I'll be getting ready shortly. I'm just not sleeping right and I'm trying to make the most of it. I'll probably be dead tired by 5 am.
Ok, here's the deal. I'm not great with consoling women, but for some reason the female friends I do happen to have, even though they are out of state, keep calling me for advice.
I have one friend with commitment and relationship issues but all I could think of was pointing out that all sleeping with random guys would do is end up with her getting a nickname like Donna McNasty, which I then called her and got her more upset.
The only thing I can say is, this woman that Skaar has tracked down only knows how the previous Skaar acted. You can't just go up to someone, with another woman practically hanging off of you no less, and be like,"Oh yeah, but I've changed." It don't work. In this situation you have to kind of let her have her little moment and just hope that she can see through the past to who you are now.
However, she has the right to feel and think what she wants about the whole situation and decide for herself what she wants. The only thing Skaar can do at this point, is respect her decision.
My dinosaur of a computer is being a piece of crap.
Bummer.
He really wants to get back to the party but he's not giving up on Zahira. Worst case, Skaar tags along with Rando for a bit in hopes that she changes her mind.
Forcing the issue with her will not get you into her good graces. She might need some time to come to terms with it herself. Not saying you have to give up, but you do need to give her some space. A woman on her own can be really emotional and unpredictable, but a pregnant woman is all those things on a more extreme scale.
Heh, well we don't have a whole lot of time. Rando wants to leave in a few hours. If she's still against the idea, Skaar's going with him.
Fate is a very fickle thing, as are visions. They aren't always 100% accurate or exact.
Skaar's actions can still effect his future in ways he can't comprehend. I'm no seer, but it might be that the child he saw in his vision wasn't necessarily Zahira's. He might have seen a child, and he might have seen Zahira with child, but that doesn't mean that's the child from the vision.
Does that make sense?
Just be careful, if you push too hard you might end up pushing her away from you completely.
I better go get caught up with whats happening in the rest of the story.
Of course, whatever Skaar does is completely up to you. I just know how it feels to have people trying to push something on you that isn't necessarily wanted. As a woman I've had to put up with ALOT from other guys, and it took me a long time to figure out what I really wanted. Before I found and married henry, all my friends would describe me as "flighty" if they had to do it in one word. LOL
I was also strong willed, stubborn and independent. I will tell you though the one thing that NEVER works, is telling a woman what she "needs" to do.
It's quite the drama Skaar has going on. LOL
I wish you luck, but this now ends the advice giving portion of the evening. I wouldn't really know what else to tell ya anyways. ;-)
Heh, I appreciate it.
Does this mean that I am able to think like a pregnant woman?
Did Zahira admit that she knew she was pregnant?
It's still unconfirmed.
It just means that you are very attuned to your feminine side. It might also help that you've been married to the PMS queen for the last almost 11 years. LOL You've learned your lessons well grasshopper.
It's actually better. I saw my massage therapist today and she really helped it. I have much better range of motion now. I still can't do any heavy lifting for a while, so I still can't go to work until the Dr clears me, but at least my supervisor finally got the FMLA paperwork today. That took a great weight off of me.
Yeah, he's relaxing right now, we are watching a special on PBS about comic books and where the creators came up with the ideas for the heros. It's actually really interesting. He usually leaves about 10:30 or so.
That’s good – both the pain and the not-unemployed thing.
I’m hoping we finish up One Life to Live (Orcish Edition) soon so Skaar can go back to his day job.
Well, you were told 'no heavy lifting' so getting that weight off of your shoulders will certainly help.
Aw, but I wanted to continue to make Skaar feel powerless :P
You’re mean. =(
I suppose this would be payback for that "reasonable" comment the other day ;P
And then some. =P
Oh, you'll be alright :)
How's he gonna deal with "So while you were off chasing after your baby momma, Aurelea got torn in half."
We'll find out. Of course, we have a large time discrepancy between Skaar and the rest of the group.
Yeah, I figured. Even if his side story is done for now it'll be a while before he's synced up with the party.
That's why I'm being deliberately ambiguous in regards to what date it is in Drago's game. Geez, it's hard to keep this all together -_-
By the way, I see they are adding platypuses as familiars in the Bestiary 4. Did you have anything to do with that, Harakhty?
How ahead in the timeline is Skaar?
BTW, as a minotaur fan, I very much appreciated that whole dungeon.
I've been itching to do a labyrinth for a while and it seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Skaar is 9 days ahead of the main group, then you have to factor in voyage time. Drago is only a day or so ahead.
Well travel shouldn't be that far but yeah he's a few days ahead.

No. However, I will now be buying that book.
And I'm glad the meanness potato has been tossed to Henry!
No, you're still mean. He's also mean.
My girl Aurelea will sort all of this out for me. Right?
Okay, now you're really mean.
Ok Harakty's still mean. He's made it clear that other people's feelings and possibly well being come second to whatever his agenda is. The fact that he comes off as nice once in a blue moon makes the next time he's a jerk seem meaner than it actually is. But he's also extremely practical.
That second comment was for DM Henry. He afflicted Skaar with possibly the cruelest curse ever.
Okay, now you're really mean.
Shouldn't you be busy murdering people or paying child support? :)
I'm doing both of those things.
I'm doing both of those things.
Maybe it's time for a change. Abort the child and provide support for those whose feelings you've injured.
Like me :'(
Wow
It's a little late for that.
I crushed the last guy's windpipe.
