::Today was the day, this was the day of his challenge to overlord Zen Rising. Though once more his mind was backtracked from the challenge. His newly wed wife had fallen gravely ill, and though the herbalist spoke it was not life threatening, he was still in a nervous panic. He paced about the room, worry upon his face. She told him she was fine, but to any who remotely know Gunthar can attest, he was a
stubborn man... and didn't believe it "Was fine" until she was her cheery self once more. Atop of that, he hadn't had heard word from the man who was to be his second in several days. It all seemed so stressful, though in truth it was still a simple matter.
His wife would be unable to attend his match this evening, and if his second didn't show he would simply duel under the honor of house Oakenshield as well as his wife, which he would be doing regardless. Still, his mind seemed to be twisting and turning about in his skull, wracking his brain full of pointless issues. After this day it would all settle down, regardless of the happenings. Perhaps he could take a few days and simply rest, gather his
thoughts... yes, that is what he would do, take his wife somewhere nice, just the two of them, and let the dust of the events settle before returning in a few days....::
