Dear Diary,

This has never happened before. I think that… No, I’m certain that Fighter has a crush on me. She actually likes my character! 

Neither one of us is very good at feelings. She had to get drunk to confess. I’m such an idiot too, because I had no idea she felt this way. It must have started back when me and Magus were still transformed. In my head we were just letting off steam after the whole Temple fiasco, but it must have meant more to her than that. 

I know Fighter’s got this tough-chick exterior, but underneath it all I think she’s just like me: too afraid to show the way she feels. Too afraid of getting hurt. 

So what do you think, Diary? Should I go for it? I know that I’m nothing special. Just a dumb half-orc with a basic bow build. But if someone as strong as Fighter thinks that there’s something in me worth… liking… I want to prove her right. I want to take the plunge. I want to try this roleplaying thing. 

Don’t worry. I’m not about to start the whole talking-in-character bit. All my voices sound dumb, and there’s no way I’m going to subject the rest of the team to that. But maybe there’s some kind of gesture I could make. Some way I can show Fighter that I like her back. What if….

OK, I know this is crazy, but Fighter disappeared when me and Magus got un-transmuted at the hot springs. Was she upset? Did she run off crying because she wasn’t attracted to me anymore? Did she miss my big, thick orc skull ram so badly that she skipped a bunch of sessions, contemplated quitting the campaign, and only came back because she found a way to wish me back to my post-Altar of Growadawng self? 

Oh my gods. That’s definitely it, isn't it? There is literally no other explanation.  

Wish me luck, Diary! It looks like I have a new love interest and a new quest line!
