Alright, let’s talk about this Halsin fella and why his blood’s supposedly white. I heard folks jabberin’ about it, and it got me thinkin’. Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two.

First off, this Halsin, he’s a druid, right? Big fella, likes the woods and all that nature stuff. From what I gather, he’s mixed up in some kinda game called “Baldur’s Gate 3”. Never played it myself, mind you. Too busy with real-life chores and such. But I hear tell he’s important.

Now, about this white blood business. See, normal folks, they got red blood. We all know that. You prick your finger, it’s red. But some folks are sayin’ Halsin’s blood is white. That just don’t sound right, does it?

I reckon it ain’t real blood, not like ours anyway. Maybe it’s some kinda magic thing. Druids, they deal with magic, don’t they? Trees talkin’, animals listenin’, all that jazz. So maybe his blood is white ’cause of his magic. Like, instead of red stuff, he’s got magic flowin’ through him. Makes a lick of sense, I guess.

• Maybe it’s tree sap, since he’s a druid. Trees got that white sap, you know.
• Or maybe it’s moonlight, all bottled up inside him. Sounds crazy, but hey, magic is crazy.
• Could be he ain’t even got blood at all! Maybe he’s just a bunch of leaves and vines held together by magic. Don’t that beat all?

I heard tell there’s talk about him bein’ a “sex slave” in the past. Poor fella. That’s gotta mess with a person, magic or no magic. Maybe that’s got somethin’ to do with it. Maybe the trauma changed him, made his insides different. I ain’t sayin’ it did, mind you, just ponderin’ out loud.

Then there’s this “shadow curse” they talk about. Sounds spooky. Maybe that curse did somethin’ to him, made his blood go all wonky. Curses are bad news, always have been. My grandma used to say, “Stay away from cursed things, child, they’ll bring you nothin’ but grief.” And she was a smart woman, my grandma.

Some folks are sayin’ it’s just a bug in the game. A “bug,” they call it. Like a little critter crawlin’ around in the computer, messin’ things up. Well, that’s just silly. If it’s a bug, squish it! But I reckon it ain’t that simple. Games these days, they’re complicated things. More complicated than my prize-winning pumpkin pie recipe, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.

So, why is Halsin’s blood white? Well, I ain’t got a straight answer for ya. Maybe it’s magic, maybe it’s a curse, maybe it’s just a game bein’ a game. But one thing’s for sure, it got folks talkin’. And that’s somethin’, ain’t it? Gets people thinkin’, wonderin’, makin’ up stories. That’s what we humans do, always have, always will.

And you know what? Maybe it don’t even matter why his blood’s white. Maybe what matters is that he’s a good fella, tryin’ to do the right thing, even if he is just a bunch of pixels on a screen. Or maybe he’s not a good fella, I don’t know. Like I said, I ain’t played the game. But from what I hear, he’s important, and that’s good enough for me.

So there you have it. My two cents on this whole white blood kerfuffle. Take it or leave it, it don’t matter none to me. I’m just an old woman, sharin’ my thoughts. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. Them eggs ain’t gonna gather themselves, you know.

And one last thing, this whole thing sounds fishy to me. White blood? Never heard of such a thing in all my born days. But then again, the world’s a strange place, full of things that don’t make a lick of sense. Just like that time ol’ Jedediah swore he saw a two-headed squirrel. Turned out it was just two squirrels sittin’ real close, but for a while there, we all believed him.
