   Summary

   A Pale Elf has found himself playing caretaker to his savior whilst navigating his own centuries long trauma. All he wishes for now is a life of leisure and luxury. Accompanied by the now broken former hero, they both quest to start living and hopefully achieve the life of leisure they both deserve. If only this barbarian would stop putting on their hero pants for every godsforsaken sob story they encounter.
