#14.5 The Shovel Talk

Location: The Underdark

Mylz checks on Dibrael at the end of the day; both he and Zaz are thinking about the kiss

  • Mylz then confronts Zaz, who pretends to not know what she's talking about
  • Mylz tells him to own up to his feelings and also warns him not to hurt Dibrael

Dibrael daydreams about what it would be like if Zaz did reciprocate his feelings, because they're both dense

  • Dibrael approaches Zaz in the spirit of their goddess, who likes impulsiveness
  • Dibrael says "I like you" and Zaz says "okay"
  • Dibrael asks Zaz if he'd like to try dating, but Zaz worries he's only asking because he feels obligated
  • after some reassurance, Zaz starts crying and admits he likes Dibrael too

Zaz mistakenly calls Mylz Dibrael's mother, because she's about the right age and knows his father

  • Dibrael pulls out matching gold bracelets for him and Zaz to wear
  • Dibrael mentions that Jimjar made a bet on his and Zaz's relationship, which makes Zaz very uncomfortable

Mylz brews some healing tea for Sarith, who is busy planning out the next day's routes

  • Sarith's hair keeps getting in the way, so Mylz offers him a hair tie; its design happen to remind him of Eilistraee, and he nervously glances toward Jorlan
  • they discuss the next day's routes from what he remembers the last time he was in Neverlight Grove

TW: terminal illness

  • Mylz suggests that Sarith continue traveling with the group and search for someone who can cure his illness
    • she gives him the cold hard truth: if he tries to stay healthy, it may give him a little more time with Junior and Rumpadump
  • the implication that Sarith will die soon sends him into a panic, and he flees camp so no one can watch him cry

End TW

Skjorn plays with Themmie and tells her about his horse back home, named Lizard
