36 - Bought some chain.
[email protected]

And I head out to  the Braxon fort again the other
day,  for to  buy  some length  of chain.  Because
there's this  swing hanging by its  one side only,
over    on   what's    left   of    my   complex's
playground. And I see that sad old swing every day
out  the window  from my  unit, and  sometimes you
just got to fix a thing like that.

When I get there, there are these two elfs sitting
at a  picnic table  there, playing Uno.   And also
knitting.   And the  knitting they  do is  somehow
connected to what cards they are playing, which is
kind of  cool. I know  these two from  the complex
across the  street from  ours, so as  I pass  by I
wave and I  sort of mutter "hi" to  them, in their
language, which I hear them  say all the time. But
for me to say it in  their tongue, it kind of just
slipped out on accident.  I wasn't really thinking
And they  give me a  wave back without  looking up
much, but one  of the centaur guards  snorts a bit
and rolls  his eyes, and I  feel embarrassed right
away.  Better  stay in  my lane. I  go and  cut my
chain and pay at the trailer.

And then one of the  Braxon chieftains rolls up by
the curb in  some shiny Tahoe, with  his tunes and
some girls, and Bil and  the centaurs head on over
to hang out. I go and sit with the elfs for a bit,
and they  don't seem  to mind. I  know Uno,  but I
don't know anything about knitting.
