It hardly seemed that any time had passed at all and Aiden was summoned again to take to his business of hunting trolls. There was in part reasons for his lack of money if he didn't and then he had a job to do and it was essential to see his part done to aid in the war against the Horde. He wasn't too far from Kalimdor after his last job. Aiden wiped the last of the blood from the troll off his hands and stopped near a stream to wash himself up. Even if Zae'ju knew what he was it wasn't all that likely that he would appreciate a letter that would smell of troll blood.
Troll's had sensitive noses and he could remember that much. The troll hunter meandered into the northwestern part of Kalimdor near nightfall. Sliding into a seat at a tavern he pushed a few coins across the counter. "Some food, drink, a room, and some paper with a writing implement if you please." Seemed that the Alliance member was more than familiar with such a request. Aiden sipped on his drink while he waited for whatever it was that the tavern was serving tonight. Usually there wasn't much choice as the innkeeper's only cooked one or two pots of stew. By now it was late enough at night that Aiden suspected he would get whatever was left over from the day. A piece of paper slide toward him with a pen and ink followed immediately by the bowl of stew.
Surprisingly the food was completely edible smelling. Smirking at the thought he brought the bowl closer to himself and took a bite. Anything beside his own cooking was great sounding after a few months on the trail of some troublesome trolls. He had a new cut to show for his latest skirmish as well. With a few bites to sate his hunger for the time he dipped the quill into the pot of ink and poised his hand awkwardly over the paper.
Aiden was literate though his writing was always in poor fashion. He didn't have neat handwriting since anything he wrote was generally in a scrawled mess and it was hardly considered more than legible. 'Zae'ju, I'm here in Kalmidor next new moon again. If you get this in time try to meet me. I could be later than the new moon by two days depending on how things go. May this find you in good health. Aiden.'
Carefully folding the note he sealed it and then finished his meal and drink. The man shoved the letter into the satchel that he carried for this trip. He had his light leather armor on for the chase. He still had one more troublesome troll to find before he could go back to Kalmidor at the new moon. At least that was his goal and it was better to see a friend instead of writing. There wasn't all that much that he could write to Zae'ju. As with anytime that he was on the road he rarely got word from home and he didn't know what he could possibly say in writing that would be worth one's time to read. If they could meet it would be far better and then he would likely have more to say or at least something beyond a short note such as he wrote.

It was the new moon now and he was barely caught up with the troll. The damn creature had kept him on a chase and it had killed a few more men that Aiden had found along the way. Didn't even take the coin from their purse and so Aiden did. They were already dead and had no need for the money. So far as Aiden was concerned it was simply a benefit of being a troll hunter. If you found money on the dead you looted it and did your best to cover your own and protect their bodies from prying eyes.
The troll's head raised as Aiden crept toward camp. He was waiting as if he expected this and that put Aiden on his toes. Suddenly the creature turned around threw itself at him. An arrow was held tightly in one of it's hands as it nearly drove the arrow into Aiden's skull.
Quickly turning his head to the side Aiden narrowly saved himself and he squiggled out from underneath the creature before he pulled a dagger and began to stab the troll in rapid succession. It was enough to slow it down for a few seconds. At least long enough to put the distance needed for him to use his sword. The two of them stood facing one another and for a moment he thought that this troll looked like it could have been related to Zae'ju. Was it his brother?
