This sounds like an excuse to me. One can simply choose to not cause destruction, can't they? Now, if you're talking about something happening outside of your hands, that's different.
Just... add water? I guess if it were that easy, it wouldn't be the mess you're in. I'm not sure I necessarily believe in bad fortune. Could it be that you've been hexed?
Think of it this way. The lack of predictability breeds the path for adventure. At least you can say it's not likely to ever be a dull moment. Perhaps not what you would expect, but rarely do things go exactly as we plan them to.
Her enthusiasm is rather infectious, isn't it? Hard to practice any sort of restraint when she's encouraging you to drink your entire body weight in cheap booze, and wholeheartedly believes you can do it!
...I'm conscious, aren't I? I suppose I should take that as a win, in this instance.
A shame all that liquor wasn't enough to well and truly pickle the tadpole swimming around in my skull, though.
Then there is nothing new under your Lord's sun. Were they so disagreeable? Or just not what you would have liked? I can tell you, being the third is not an easy place to be. Emotionally or mathematically.
I wouldn't say it's one particular story, but a consistent string of experiences, one which conspire to make what you describe feel rather plain. Much more of parenthood than you may guess is comprised of cleaning up some foul mess.
I must say that I did not expect that you would be interested in hearing such things. About my child, that is.

2. I just got invited to go home with a married couple...
3. Never underestimate the healing power of vomiting and a bath.
4. I woke up this morning in the inn, I didn't realize it was physically possible to Mage Hand a person to the wall...
5. It's a combination of amazing lack of coordination, bad luck, and sheer determination to cause destruction wherever we go.

…it was Mage Hand AND Hold Person.

Now, if I could inquire as to why you did this.
no subject
In that case, consider the reason preventing you from doing something you’d probably regret.

Were it in my hands, the destruction would be as a controlled burning rather than a wildfire.

Thank you, for holding my hair back, by the way. Challenging Karlach to a drinking contest certainly wasn't one of my brighter moments, I'll admit.

I hope the morning finds you better, unlikely as that might be.

But as well, "are we dead" is not so high a bar to aspire to, Lady.
Particularly where my want to minimize casualties is concerned.

I'll be worm food before you keel over under the strain of your nobility. But don't fret, I may be a Dark Priest but I won't sacrifice the peasantry.
Well, unless you're on board. I could minimize the death toll by sacrificing one of these yokels.

I am not such a fool that I tie our hands from any and all hostilities. But we must at least make an effort to minimize our impact and casualties.
