years of stealing magic items eventually earned Havi connections with certain groups \u2013 one being the local theives\u2019 guild. at one point he hired a thief to get certain item for him (he wasn’t about to go do it himself)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the thief he hired was named Meril, and she showed interest in the items Havi requested she snag. and we all know how Havi gets when people ask about his magic shit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so they hit it off fairly well! and Havi kept returning to Meril for jobs that needed to be done. as you could expert, Tanum and Meril became good friends. (Tanum tried getting Meril to put in a good word for him at the thieves\u2019 guild; but every time he mentioned it, she would burst into laughter and the conversation wouldn\u2019t go any further. he was always v salty about this)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
after a month or so, Meril asked Havi out. he was 25, yet this was his first Real Relationship \u2013 which made it not the Best one. their relationship wasn\u2019t bad<\/em> (they had a lot of fun together, really) but Havi wasn\u2019t super quick to open up \u2013 emotionally nor intimately \u2013 which caused some problems. he eventually proved too boring for Meril\u2019s exciting lifestyle, and they broke up after almost a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n the split wasn\u2019t messy, but they aren\u2019t exactly close friends anymore. they would still see each other on occasion, but Havi\u2019s jobs for Meril trickled to a halt. eventually Havi stopped his pursuit of magical items via thievery, and he started focusing more on his magic studies than acquiring cool magic things he wasn\u2019t allowed to own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
