... Kerrigan, for a girl.



Lady Jelena speaks of dates, and times. A summer wedding, she asks me, or perhaps an autumn one? Of course she advises summer. She would want to get it done sooner the better. And prevent any more terrible ... accidents. Interruptions to her precious Routine ...

Why can she just not ... leave this to Thomas and I? It's not as though we're incapable of making the decisions on our own. I'm so tired of being treated like a child. If you must cage me, is it too much to ask to be treated like a songbird, and not a girl's dress-up doll?

I don't know what else I can say to her. Smile, and nod, and ... and wish she would stop speaking to me. It's still so difficult, to look her in the eye, and remember ...

... I oughtn't think on this anymore.

Guess who's almost 23, magic journals~~ Go on, guess~!! I'll give you three guesses, even. But the first two don't count ♥

Ugh, it's pouring outside!!

I just got home from the market and all the groceries I picked up for Mom are soaking wet. I hope nothing got ruined. I don't really want to go out in that again. My clothes are all drenched!!

I guess it's just going to get worse now since it's spring and everything but it's really really wet and it's loud, too. I hate it so much when it rains. It's all just awful.

Hm, so ~ Tell me, brother~ Have you made any plans for your birthday yet? I do hope the answer is no~

Well, it's time to get plantin again! It's harder than it looks, you know. You gotta get the soil just right, and the seeds can't be too deep or shallow, and the water, well, you can't give 'em too much water, but you can't let 'em go thirsty either. And you dunno whether your seeds are sproutin fine until summer! It's real hard work! Heh, I'm lucky to be pretty good at it.

I'm so glad Andrew is all right! Everyone seems much more relieved now. It's one less thing for us to worry about. But the guards are still here, and we don't know why, and we still don't know why Pearl's things have gone missing.

I think Fayre and Elden knew what happened to Andrew and where he was. I think that was what Elden was busy with. They must have known for a while. I wonder why they didn't tell us? It would have made us worry less, and many of us were so upset that he couldn't be found. I don't know why they would hide something like that. Aren't they supposed to be our friends? Friends don't hide things like this from each other!

At least Andrew is safe ...

Umm ... I hope you do not feel bad about the play. It's not horrible, just, with the guards ... it doesn't look like many people want to come out out their houses unless they have to. It's such a shame, because it looks like everyone has worked so hard!

HMMM Yep, it's time to get some new clothes! I don't think my old ones can be fixed anymore, I'm just getting too BIG! And they've been washed way too many times! You can really tell! The edges are getting all frayed and everything!

HMM, it's been AGES since I've tried new clothes on!

This is all such a crock of bullshit. I hate this motherfucking country.

It's easy to forget how hard it is to travel through the forest when you haven't done it for even a little while. We didn't make a city in time for the holiday, I'm afraid. It would have been ... nice, I think, to spend the Day of Mists in someplace besides the woods.

Regardless, here we are. Arwen, do you need anything? If you do, just say so. We ought to get some rest soon, though. We have been on the road so long ...
