Not as drastic as you may assume. I earned the position while aiding the Garsalian nobles during some of their internal conflicts, one of which only ended a few months prior to my arrival here. Adventuring across the wilds was different only in what I was fighting against and who I was trying to aid.

( said out loud that sounded a lot more depressing than she ever thought it might. ) I did wish to record and witness history, after all. ( and now she was smack dab in the middle of it. )

I would suggest we try camping together, but given the unknown nature of the forest here...perhaps not.
