The months seemed to go by so quickly when I was younger and hunting all the time. I couldn't get enough of the Mushroom Hut, and often went there with D'Ead, Zorglub, and a range of others who were will to brave the flying acid. More and more often, Gremlins would oblige us by coming along to finish off the toughest creatures quickly, so that we would not be overwhelmed. He was also very willing to go with me as part of a hunting party to the Lily Pond, and when I grew strong enough, to the nearby Wetlands as well. Though we did not always hunt together, I found I missed him when he was absent.
Though previously our hunting times overlapped by chance, we began more and more to hunt together, and to spend time talking even when not hunting. At first I was my usual teasing self, but as time went on, our friendship expanded into something more. When other demands prevented me from hunting very often, Gremlins made sure to be there when I did have time, and often accompanied my to places that were little challenge for him, because he thought they would be pleasant and fruitful for me.
One evening, after we each had fortified our nerves with beer, we talked about what we were doing and what we each wanted. Happily, it turned out that we each wanted the other. :)
