So this deserves a little bit of backstory. At the last swear-in, I talked with Klarion—have you two met? He's a cute kid. Anyway, we got to talking, somehow ended up talking about Rome, and now Klarion's decided it would be a grand idea to shanghai me and Shade into a small little road trip.

We should be back before night but if I'm missing in action, you'll know why. Want a souvenir?
