Midsummer celebrations and vacations!

Well, today the midsummer's celebration was in full swing! Wynni wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and so we decided to meet Pizzy in Stormwind - he had a bit of business to take care of in the Auction House beforehand. After running into Imble and chatting for a sec, we we found him there in the Auction House. Wynni spotted him first and gave him a huge hug. I'm so pleased with how well she likes him. I'm still a little paranoid about her becoming too attached before it's really permanent, but on the other hand, since things seem to be going well, then maybe the transition will be a little easier.

ANYWAY! So after we met Pizzy (and he offered to take Wynni cliff jumping - HOLY. CRAP.) we headed on over to the canals where all the festival stuff was set up. Wynni was TOTALLY amazed by the guys juggling torches and tossing them at the braziers. Then we found the ribbon pole, and I held Wynni on my hip while I spun and danced. She LOVED it. Pizzy tried it, but oh man, that was bad news for him. He looked SO sick. I helped him into the nearby bookshop so he could sit and recover just a bit while Wynni looked at picture books. Poor guy. I hope he doesn't get seasick as easily.

So, he caught his breath and let the world stop spinning a bit, and then Wynni asked us what a kobold was. Evidently, she had found a book on the shelves called "The Little Kobold That Could." (That could do what, I don't know. Maybe he managed to keep his candle or something.) Anyway, I told her it was a rat guy who liked candles, but Pizzy went into more detail, even so far as to imitate one. Wynni just ate it up.

Then he mentioned that sometimes there were spiders in the caves with kobolds, and Wynni FREAKED. So he taught her how to smash spiders, using his hands to imitate one. She thought that was a pretty good game. So that led to a conversation about spiders and bizarre cuisine, and before we knew it, it was time to go to school! Usually Wynni is super excited for school, but today she just wanted to stay with Mr. Pizmo. Aww. We walked her to school, and she asked like a million questions on the way. She even gave Pizzy a kiss goodbye - how sweet is that?

Pizzy and I continued on to Telaar; he wanted to chat about our upcoming trip to Northrend, since he's still paranoid about meeting my family and all. I guess maybe I didn't mention that the whole point of my trip was to be there when Noodler's wife gave birth, because he was all freaking about that. It's not like he has to BE there for that part, gosh. He wanted to know what kind of things he should do up there, what to talk about, what not to talk about, what to wear, etc. The questions seemed perfectly obvious to me, but I forget that social situations can be difficult for him sometimes.

Then he wanted to know what we'd say if they asked about, well, us. I told him I'd say "we've discussed the possibility of marriage but there are no plans in the works at this time." He seemed to like that answer. He fretted for a moment when I mentioned Noodler had met Zandramas, but then I reminded him about how Zan had, you know, LEFT. Then I told the story about how Zandramas accused Noodler of being my secret boyfriend because he didn't think he was my brother since we didn't look alike. Boy, was Pizmo's smile wide!

We made love, and afterwards he asked me to promise that I liked him as much as he loved me. Well, of COURSE that's the case! He told me he just gets worried that I'll get tired of him, and that all good things are supposed to end eventually. I wanted to tell him it doesn't have to be that way, but he had to leave before we could really get into the subject. In time, I guess. Maybe someday he'll stop being so insecure.
