noun 1. a person who travels from place to place.

[Spiderland]

Reverie was hard today, and the day before. The whole tenday hadn't been easy, and ___ was unable to stop running his hands over a triad of newly minted scars, courtesy of a rather weighty Dhaerrow raiding party.

He thought about the Marshal, his pledge to help, and then bitter failure. Buppi laying on the ground, Tower mages scurrying around. Fiore leaning up against a tree, just as scarred and beaten as he was - and it was his fault, ___ had led her right into it.

Failed another, just as he'd done in the Anauroch, just as he'd done in Tethyr, and just as he'd done now. ___ ran a hand through his hair, one grey strand twined in his fingers. That made him think about his son, and the son's son - which he still hadn't met, and likely never would.

Which just led toward another thought, the Elf now ruminating on how he was failing them too, how unlucky they were to have father who loved the road more than his children. A father who could grow old but not up, destined or maybe just cursed to be more of a child than his own children.

He slithered out from under the tree, sparing just a moment to shoot the still risen moon a deep frown of discontent and looked over to the quartet of knightly volumes.___ thought about the names within, then his own name.

Itinerant thought about what he was calling himself these days, realised how apt it all was. The connotation was something along the lines of the archetypical Gur, or just a tramp. It fit, really, ___ 'd never be a knight. He considered that talk in the Dale with Liunia, how she said she put her own desires, her own wants and feelings above the Order's.

___ ran another hand through his little shock of hair, figuring he'd just about done the same thing his whole life. He picked the texts up gingerly, as if his very touch might damage them.

He'd leave after he gave the books to Fiore, telling her to give the things to that Nahal fellow, the historian up in Soulhaven.

"Need to come up with a new name, too," ___ mused aloud, to himself. "I haven't used Peripatetic yet."
