Hi all,<br/><br/>So thinking of some character ties for Ailwin, I've come up with a couple ideas.<br/><br/>Bubbles - If she's building a new tavern in Riverbend, than its likely she contracted with my family. Depending on how greedy my family ends up being, it's possible that she contracted with them because nobody else would accept the job.<br/><br/>Spooky - I love your crazy/awesome  array of musical instruments. Ailwin plays the pan flute, albeit poorly. Maybe you've given him some pointers?<br/><br/>Geran - Since you're also an area native, you've heard of my family and we could easily have met. Would Geran ever have been a day laborer to make some coin? Or would that be beneath him? If he had, then it's possible he and Ailwin did some construction work together.<br/><br/>Iliana - One of Ailwin's sisters would certainly have gone out of their way to include you in her circle of friends. You might even be the reason his youngest sister decided to run away.<br/><br/>Louis - Our families would certainly know each other. I imagine as children we might have had several possibly uncomfortable encounters at the kids table while the adults talked about whatever it is adults talk about. And Louis facination with combat might make him interested in what Ailwin is learning from his teacher.<br/><br/><br/>That's what I have off the top of my head, I'm of course happy to hear suggestions from anyone else.<br/><br/><br/>
