It's all rather new to me, I'm afraid.

For the longest time I had, ah. Colleagues. Acquaintances. Associates. Mentors, as well, but often busy with their own work. But not exactly friends - apart from Tara of course. Most of my time was consumed with Mystra, with my studies, with research. Mortal relations fell by the wayside in favor of the more divine aspects.

So I'm a bit amateur at the "friends" thing.
