“I am well. I continued to help undo the harm that had been done to the Dragon Isles. I spent a long time helping the Niffen.”

“How are they doing?”

“They are well enough, though there is still more to do.” 

“I can imagine,” Banny replied before taking another sip of his tea. “There was certainly enough trouble there to keep someone busy.”

“As it did,” the elf answered with a nod. “But they are much better off than they had been when we first met.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“And what of you? What have you been doing since last I saw you in the healer’s ward?”

Banagan blushed a little and smirked slightly as he remembered waking up after being attacked in the Drakthyr city. “I’ve been in Khaz Algar.”

“Ahh, the new islands. Have you been busy with your meddling friends?”

“The Meddlers? Yeah. I’ve been traveling with some of them lately. Helping where I can.”

“That is good to hear,” Gilleana said. She turned to watch a group of people walking down the ramp of the Mage Tower. Humans, elves, and a Pandaren talking with each other as they passed by. Banagan sat quietly, staring at the elf as she was looking at the crowd. Slowly, she turned back towards him. The paladin blushed and quickly looked back down at his pad of paper. When Banny looked back up a moment later, Gilleana didn’t appear to have noticed anything. “What are you writing? Journals of your exploits?”

“No, nothing that fancy. Just making a list of things I need to get before I head back.”

“Leaving for Khaz Algar?”

“Yes. My boat leaves in a few hours.”

“Boat? Do you not use magics to get there?”

“I could, but I enjoy the boat rides. Gives me a little solitude before diving back into things.”

“Couldn’t you do that here? Stay in your home or rent a room? Then you wouldn’t have to leave as early.”

“Sure. But like I said, I enjoy the trip. I find it calming, I guess. A nice way to calm my thoughts before jumping back into the fray.”

“I guess I had never thought about that,” the elf said with a nod of approval.

“What about you?” Banny asked. “What do you plan to do?”

“I do not know, yet. Hopefully I will find somewhere to be useful.”

“I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding someplace that needs you.”

“Thank you,” Gilleana smiled. 

The paladin and the elf looked at each other for a long moment. Banny finally looked away towards the door to the tavern. “Would you like something to drink? I can recommend the tea.”

“Again, thank you. That would be nice.”

Banagan smiled and then waved towards one of the waiters nearby. The waiter came over and listened attentively as Banny order two more cups of tea before disappearing back inside.

“Well, paladin,” Gilleana said as she sat back in her chair, “why are you in Stormwind. Is this your home?”

“No,” Banny answered, shaking his head. “I’ve spent plenty of time here, but I grew up in Darkshire.”

“I have never been there. What is it like?”

Banny smiled as he set his pencil down and leaned back. “Well…”
