Greetings! Gale of Waterdeep, at your service. Many of you may recall that some months back, there was rat trouble in port and aboard many of the ships, and a number of bold riftfarers were kind enough to adopt some highly-trained Warrior Cats to help combat the issue. Some of my crewmates were among them, but have unfortunately left us in recent months, and so I find myself with more cats than I know what to do with.

While I certainly have the space, I am coming and going too frequently to give all of these animals the attention they are due, and truth be told, I don't think that Tara is keen to share me for much longer. If anyone has any interest in adopting either Frostbite or Pumpkinpatch, I assure you they are both quite affectionate and will make excellent companions, in addition to earning their keep by keeping pests at bay. Frostbite is especially fond of feathered toys, while Pumpkinpatch prefers those that jingle.

[Sometime later, a second message from Gale's username will appear, only this time it's a video message with an extreme close-up of a long-haired calico. When she speaks, her voice is equal parts motherly and refined, as well as miffed.]

I would like to clarify that I do not appreciate being depicted as the jealous sort! It is only that these cats seem to think themselves terribly important, and fail to recognize that I am not one of them, but a wizard in my own right! I am a dedicated student of the Weave, and do not have time to be mothering these eager young cubs when I've my own research to attend to. Hmph.

[My, what a refined cat wizard. Joshua is entirely charmed. And this might be a good opportunity to introduce himself to Gale.]

While I'm unable to commit to caring for a cat at the moment, I genuinely hope they find loving homes soon.

It's disheartening to hear about your comrades' departures through the rifts. I hope all is well.

[Gale gladly welcomes the opportunity to get to know some of his new crewmates— he knows Joshua by name only, as he does a number of the others, but that's all about to change!]

That's very kind of you, on both accounts. Joshua, yes? Cid has mentioned you to me. I've no doubt someone will be eager to take them in, there are plenty of riftfarers out there seeking companionship.

I do appreciate the kind words. All is as well as can be! Though they will be missed, I cannot deny they each had pressing matters to attend to elsewhere. While I can't say for certain that this is what they would have wanted, I have to believe in the best possible outcome.

Yes, my name is Joshua. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Gale. I hear you have recently joined our merry little crew.

And that is a good outlook to keep close to the heart. I too think that is what I would want to believe if any of mine close to me were to return through the rifts. Still, my apologies that you had to bid them farewell at all.

If you need anything, please do ask.

Indeed I did! I am most grateful for the opportunity, and look forward to getting to know the lot of you better as we work side by side!

You're really quite kind. As I said, they will be missed, but I do know that Astarion at the very least would never let me hear the end of it if he caught me moping about their disappearances. Astarion and Xenk, at least, are from the same world. I do hope they find one another, given the opportunity.

Likewise. I am looking forward to it. If you are a fan of books and the like, Alhaitham and I are amassing quite a collection. You are welcome to it.

It's good to hear that. I'm sure your optimism will transcend the rifts as well. I wish them all the best.
