Author's Note: Okies.Few things I gotta cover.First, I know my posting
habits are insane, and that checking for my next post will get kinda hectic
for people who actually have things to do.like work or school, for
instance.And I know that that author alert thingie doesn't work too well
sometimes.(Plus I think you have to pay for it.) So, I'll tell ya what.
Anyone who wants me to notify them when I post something new, shoot me an e-
mail at hayaitoran@yahoo.com .I'll make a mailing list up and just send you
an e-mail.
Second.This is something I hadn't realized was actually being thought of.The characters ages.I want to thank my reviewer who brought it up.*grin* So, to avoid bewilderment and people trying to figure it out, I'll just tell you. In the beginning, Jea is 27, Laguna is 22, Ambermist is 47, and Dumbugg is 30. For my baffled readers who are looking at their players' guides in confusion, Jea left home early, at 15. She was raised as a human, because her family is majorly dysfunctional. I figure most human males aren't shaving at 10 years old-except for those rare man-child cases.*cringes.* So, you see, its not quite what most people would expect. Laguna was a late bloomer. He stayed at home and didn't start adventuring until an age where most humans would have half a decade's experience under their belts.Go figure. I'll actually be going into some of the characters' childhoods in order to shed some light on all of this.
Third.I think Jun's race is a Gross Human Whore..
Hope this cleared everything up! Any other questions or comments? Review, and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge!!
Chapter Twenty Eight
Everyone was up and moving around, getting dressed, hunting for food, running errands-things like that. Jea handed Ambermist a "doggy bag" from the restaurant, deliberately using her left hand.
The thief noticed the ring and raised one eyebrow silently. Jea winked and put a finger to her lips for secrecy. Ambermist got the hint and grinned evilly at the ranger's ploy.
Shikatsu returned a few minutes later. "Hey, gang. We've been summoned." He tossed Jea a sealed letter bearing the royal crest.
Breaking the wax, the ranger skimmed the letter, then read it thoroughly. It was a letter from the King of Greyhawk (He was actually more like a Lord than anything, but.*shrug.*) He was requesting their presence that afternoon at the palace for their actions the previous day.
Jea casually handed the letter to Ambermist and went to get Laguna. The thief read it, her eyes lighting up gleefully, and proceeded to wake up Dumbugg-by kicking him in the ribs.

An hour later, they left Shik's house, heading for the palace. Jea walked along, cheerful, happy, and good-natured. Shik eyed her in confusion; he couldn't figure out what had happened to cause such a radical behavior change. Ambermist was chortling to herself and Laguna grinned silently as they watched the ranger skip about like a child-and confusing Shik all the more.
Shikatsu finally demanded, "What the hell is up with you?!"
Jea just grinned at him, waiting to see if the assassin would figure it out. He didn't. He bitched about her behavior until they were almost to the palace, growing more and more enraged.
Ambermist was developing a stitch in her side from laughing at the half drow's stupidity. Jea had made a special point of waving her left hand in front of Shikatsu's nose as much as possible.You'd think he'd have noticed the ring!
Laguna just smiled, amused at her actions. If he didn't know her like he did, he would have thought she'd lost her mind-which is obviously what Shik was thinking. Laguna knew, rather, that Jea was feeling pleased.
Finally, Jea looked directly at Shikatsu, dropping all silliness. "Boy, comrade, for someone so 'intelligent,' you sure are dense."
"What?!"
Ambermist smacked her forehead with her palm. "She's engaged, you idiot!" she blurted out, tired of the idiocy.
The assassin was utterly speechless.for once. He stared at the ranger woman in shock. Jea waved at him, making her engagement ring flash in the sunlight. Then she turned around and continued towards the palace, taking Laguna's arm in the process. When Shikatsu finally picked his jaw up off of the ground, he had to run to catch up with the group. Everyone-even Dumbugg-and especially Wolf, laughed at him the rest of the way to the palace.
