Shorn
I look absolutely ridiculous. All of my clothes feel...strange. Worst of all, mum laughed at me when I went to visit after that horrible ordeal. My own mother laughed at me. She apologized after, but I know she didn't mean to laugh like that. I hope.
Every time I look in the mirror, I don't like the way I look now. I look so very young. It's such a radical change, I suppose I should I have done it gradually instead of one fell swoop like I did...
In better news, Celes is spending her first of possibly many nights here. We put her to bed about two hours ago, after a few chapters of Alice in Wonderland, which she had never heard before, and a lullaby or two. Green, it turns out, is her favourite colour, and while she spends the day with Aeris tomorrow, doing "girl" things, Father and I are in charge of painting her room. The agent from the orphanage seemed very happy with us, so hopefully this week goes well. We let Celes help in the kitchen with dinner--whatever she wanted was the menu for tonight, and she loved it. I haven't made French Toast in ages, but I suppose I will tomorrow, it's what she asked for.
I really hope the adoption goes through.
The reunion went well, even though it was rather drab. Balthier's grand entrance and exit were expected, but quite a welcome change. It's rather refreshing to know that I'm still the best ballroom dancer, although I have a wonderful partner now to help me with that.
