36 - Bought some chain.

joneworlds@mailbox.org

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 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.
