It has been some time. I’ve had to keep my writing to when I needed to in my work, it’s been painful to move my right arm very much. Lapis worried me for some time, but she’s also recovering. She’s of course taking good care of me.
A new arrival calling herself one of Sulena’s knights arrived. Her name’s Adreanna and to put her to proper test, and to hopefully not worry my family or citizens too much now that I can’t defend myself till I’m better, I hired her as my own personal guard for the time being. A bit contrary to what I thought, people have seemed more concerned that I did hire her than over if I’d not. I guess they do not see my full intent with this, not even my grandchildren it seems, but I stand by the decision. After all, in the end I’m getting exactly what I wanted out of it. I’m able to work, I get a good chance to evaluate her first hand, and I’m kept safe. Lapis got a bit on edge with it though, thinking I’m replacing Orvich. A statement that’s an insult in itself to both Orvich and I, but I guess Lapis meant no harm. Orvich can’t be replaced like she’s some broken cutlery. Adreanna may remind me of my dear friend, but that’s all.
Then there was Chathra’s last outburst. I’m not going to elaborate on that fucking shit too much, but I don’t enjoy being called a Xitian slaver and a liar by someone I’ve supposedly known for about a decade. I’ll stick to eating elsewhere.
I’ve also tried to talk to Hara more closely, but I’m not so sure that’s made much difference. I’m trying my best, she deserves that as much as the rest of the new arrivals we get, but it still appears to me like she rather rid of me. The woman seem to think that one’s not listening to her unless one agrees and she’ll stop at nothing to make you agree. Which I’m finding very strange. I need to find a good way to approach her. So far she’s confusing.
What I’ve found strange but heartwarming have been the response from the rest of the town, when Hara questions why they let me lead they actually say a little bit more than ‘rather her than any of the others around here’, haha. It's something I've rarely gotten to hear.
Another friendly gesture was that Orosvor noticed my lack of real shirt, it got ruined by the dark walker, and gave me a bear pelt. A very kind gesture.
I should get myself some rest.
