No, no, no I'm not supposed to be having them anymore!! I'm safe, I'm not with them, I'm happier than I've ever been!

...okay, calm down. I...this was the first time in a long time, right? Maybe Symeon is right, I am working too hard and the stress caused me to have those dreams. All I have to do is forget about it, right? Forget about it, go about my days as usual and it'll be like it never happened.

I wanted to thank you again for the other day. I had a wonderful time.

All the talk about

... The mutterings will fade over time. She's gone, in any case, and whatever control the woman likes to think she has, or will have, over the Atsirian crown is entirely an illusion. Whatever her followers like to think. Whatever she likes to think.

You must be glad the trial is over.

I wonder, how blind have you made yourself?

How much a fool are you? Do you think I was happy to be chained? To be caged? What arrogance led you to strike a deal that you knew would give me sunlight and air and freedom? And did you think that I would stay put in the face of all of it?

Are you such a fool? Oh, how my Lord Brother would like to know. Shall I tell him?

[the writing is somewhat uneven]

Well, guess that teaches me a lesson or two, don't it? Ugh, and they still got away, ain't that just a kick in the ass. I hope you lot that's apparently out there aren't slackin' off.

Hey, Lady Celeste. Hear you're up and about again. I'd come see you myself, but I think if I try t'get outta bed, Nessa'll have my hide.

Where are you.

It's clear she doesn't wish to face that her mother may be the key to sorting through the entire mess. Perhaps I should have been less insistent, on the matter. Perhaps I simply want to see a case where estranged parent and child reconcile, after all.

If this does not resolve itself soon, some other arrangement must be made. Her position is as insecure as it has ever been, and there is only so long even my good word will preserve her reputation from lasting harm. There is no shortage of ambition, even among priests. Especially among us, some would say. Something to consider, and soon. ... Too long of this, and I risk my own reputation, for her sake. A precarious situation, to be sure.

And then this business with that smuggler docking in Azudesce. No word, yet, but strengthen security overmuch and he will grow suspicous. And when he goes, he will take that woman with him, once again out of reach. Hm.

It would be good to put that matter to rest. I'll have to strike some balance with the guard.

Um, I hope everybody's been enjoying the celebrations ... I know it's not like normal, but it's still a holiday, so ... so!!

I hope things are going okay with everybody looking for Finlay .... I guess you probably haven't found anything yet since you would've said!! But um, please write, if you do ... I know I keep saying that, but I'm just ... !!!

I should have went. We're just here and I sure as hell aren't doing anything useful here. Again.

Maybe I should do something. Better than standing and looking stupid. The training is something, isn't it? Something. I can work with that.

He better be

Not used to hearing the sounds in the street like that again. It must be Potato Day, huh? Been a while since a real Potato day in Floran. ... Yeah. I don't know.

Maybe we should do something... potato-ey. Or just go out and ... practice again, something like that.

Ohhhhh, Mathilda, Max, the ferry's going to arrive in Papan in an hour or two! I can see land! Oh, I'm so excited I'm finally home!

So ~ Any luck so far?
