A familiar face from the previous story sits rather unhappily within one of the few modest taverns still open this late summer evening. A voice at the bar catches his attention and Paul thinks maybe there's something to salvage from this day afterall.
Romyn is skeptical of the stranger buying him a drink, but the two quickly become chums over their tales of adventure and happening to have a common friend in Coven...
Paul is officially introduced in this story! A few things have probably changed since fleeing Forrest Town during the dragon incident. His attire isn't quite that of an officer and there's a notable lack of Shane, his large in stature partner. We'll find out the details as this new friendship continues.
