I would make a terrible monk, and I am certain many were glad to see me go when I did. I never knew what I was going to do until I was doing it... Grey Warden, King, Barking Lot. But it has all gone well. This world has stones, so that part should be manageable; I would not claim it easy, but it is within its limits. The wisps... I do not know what to do about those. I know, vaguely, he's done some terrible things, but I will judge him here for what I see and understand. So it does not bother me.
We met when both of us held almost no titles, and it's easier to relax and get to know each other then. Also, when you're moving around in a camp, not at a fortress. Fewer people around.
