I knew Cherri since childhood. With Tommen, the three of us would play together whenever our parents would meet at our families Tavern. Tommen and I would always pretend we were going off on adventures and Cherri would like to pretend to be the person who needed rescuing. Or she would be the nurse or doctor that would heal us when we were injured in battle. More often she would be more interested in nursing Tommen. Haha.
I remember her once saying whenever we asked why she didn't want to play as a fellow adventurer, she said "Adventurers need a place to go to at the end of their quest, to relax and talk about their epic adventures, I want to be the one that listens to those stories and gives them that place to recover, with food and drink. Just like how my parents do now."
Tommen and I, then swore an oath that we would be the ones that would not only protect that place but would be the ones to always be there to talk about our real adventures when we grew up.
But we couldn't even do that. Tommen and I had been through so much, and even much more when Luxford and later Kristina and Vulcan would join us, but we couldn't keep that simple promise.
