Dumathoin take the man! I thought when we got back to the city and were in familiar surroundings again that he'd mellow a bit and regain some focus.

But no. He's as fuddled as ever, the old tarantula, and even more short-tempered about it than in the Underdark. He needs my help, and he hates that—always has. I won't take it any more. If he hits me again, he's going to find some wyvern toxin in his porridge the next morning!

Worg shit, did I actually write those words? I'd better hide this.

I know I'm no saint, never have been, and though I've always had a sharp tongue, if you asked me I'd have told I don't have a mean bone in my body. Not really mean, anyway.

But look at the sorry sack of shit I have become. I guess being married to Baelen for so long left more of a mark than I thought. Even Baelen when his fury came on him never left me more than bruised, but now I feel broken.

And why, for the love of Dumathoin? Baelen is healed! He got his mind back in the Underdark, and he's his old self.

And I guess that's the problem. When he was addled, I could blame our problems on his befuddlement and how angry it made him—and me.

Now he's back to his old self. And his old self isn't someone I want to be around.
