Blade Mettle has taken an extended leave of absense to deal with r/t restraints. The Ubar, and I do thank You Ubar, convinced Him to have it be an absence rather then having Him return His tags, so His wagon door could be left open for His return, whenever that might be.
So in Character He exited His wagon, shared drink, said He would be on a quest to seek out Certain People to put issues to rest before He can devote Himself to Camp.
Before He left I gave Him a lock of My hair, tied in a ribbon to remember Tuchuk and where He will always have a home waiting for Him.
