gone like a wayward wind

Looking back, it was laughably ironic. Not long ago, with the (perceived) burden of fatherhood weighing down on him and the gut-wrenching news of the war, he might've said he was stuck in a rut. He buried himself in work, drugs, sex — typically very rewarding things — but ultimately, he was dissatisfied. Most of the relationships forged during this time felt superficial and shallow; he wasn't attracting as many repeat customers as he would've liked. Ravesque kept him from getting too close to Naniko... even the kids to some extent. Fortunately (?), the Powers that Be seemed awfully keen on keeping his life interesting — maybe too interesting.

When the war ended and his baby mama's suitor disappeared, a dam broke. The momentum carried him forward at a dizzying pace... and he loved every minute of it. His trip with Ulilohi reawakened him; although the intense psychedelic experience lead him to assign more meaning to their liaison than he might otherwise, the connection felt no less genuine. A follow-up visit further solidified their bond. The AniWayan greenhouse project was a go. Distance (and culture clash) might keep him from Loving her, but that didn't mean he couldn't love their time together.

In a wholly different way, the "other woman" in his life was growing on him. Lilin kept him guessing, and although her dismay over his backyard forays perplexed him at first, he now found it mostly amusing. The torrents had slowed to a merry gurgle; he was feeling too good to question anything anymore. Somehow, it seemed only natural that an old voice rose out of nowhere, rousing him from his half-baked reverie. Ezra? He stumbled to his feet, nearly knocking a bong off the table in the process.

What a sight greeted him when he stumbled outside! A broad grin spread across his face. Well, here I was thinkin' you'd forgotten about me! he called down the street with a good-natured laugh. Some entourage you've got there, he remarked, waving daftly at the young boy.

weird post ftw.
