1 Hippofilius seemed uncertain about returning home. As much of a pull as he must feel towards this place, it would seem his shame is stronger. If it were not for the fact that we had to be here for Braz, I do wonder if he would have had us avoid visiting altogether.
2 With beautiful beaches and colourful fauna, this island seems rather pleasant… if you ignore the gigantic feral scorpions! Oh, I shouldn’t be so flippant though - some of the scorpions we faced may have been former flock mates of Hippofilius. It is awful to think that is the fate that awaits any centaur that doesn’t want to swear themselves to an Aresian on this island…
3 I shouldn’t have been listening, but I heard Hippofillius ask after a woman. I am not sure I heard correctly, but his father - or, I suppose, step-father? - seemed to imply she was with the Lotus Witch. I hope that is a better situation than it sounds…
