After long contemplation, Crickets, I believe that I know why I'm stalling so badly on getting Tristan in line with his legendary duties.

I like him.

If any of you know the legend, you know that it all ends rather badly for our boy. I like Tristan too much to see him suffering, and he's currently oblivious and perfectly happy to drift aimlessly through the countryside while I avoid sending him back to the beach to meet the Irish invasion.

I need to bite the bullet and just get this (sad, sad, sad) show on the road.

Wish me luck...
