Self Improvement and Failure
One month after visiting my father's grave, I decided to leave Budehuc and go on a self-improvement training journey! At the time, it seemed like a good idea, and I was doing very well, but once winter set in, I found myself cut-off without any communication all the way out in Caleria. You wouldn't think it gets cold there in the winter, but I guess I was wrong...I had no way to make contact and spent a good six months living off nothing but snake frog liver and fried troll dragon...*shiver* When the ice finally thawed it took forever to trek back across Mountain Path...
Not much has changed since I left though--Sir Fred's been busy improving his skills, and Lady Chris returned to Brass Castle. Sir Clive seems to be gone too...I guess he left for some training as well, but Sir Barts, Miss Yun, and Sir Rody are still here, and I'd like to visit them soon. Master Thomas said that we might have a Spring Festival, which would be a nice way for me meet some of the newer people, and I still need to congratulate Sir Hix and Lady Tengaar on their wedding! Hopefully now that I've returned I can talk to Sir Geddoe about reclaiming my night-watch post. A few new people showed up, and I feel guilty about not greeting them.
Except one.
Yesterday I met Luca. Lady Aila told me to be careful of him, but I didn't think much of it when she told me. After all, we all survived Yuber when he stayed. Unfortunately I was very, very, wrong!!!!! He is my new mortal enemy of forever-ness, and we got into a big fight about Master Thomas! How dare he question Master Thomas' authority?!?! Master Thomas got injured and I couldn't do anything to protect him! I failed as garrison commander!! I was very relieved that Sir Ted and Sir Kinnison were there to help, or else Luca Thomas would have been in worse trouble.
I did manage to slam the infirmary door in Luca's nose, and it made a funny crunching noise....so at least I was able to leave some mark of retaliation, however small it may be....
But this only gives me renewed hope to be even better at my job! I know my father would agree with me, and Luca's presence is testing my abilities!! Master Thomas told me after Sir Tuta bandaged him up that although he was appreciative of me for risking my life, he said that I'd be a better guard if I was alive, not dead. -//- I didn't think about that...But if I have to die to protect the castle, I will!!!!!
((OOC: I made a new avatar all by myself on Photoshop, because after last night's "argument", I figured it seemed weird to have Cecile yelling at Luca while the avatar was all smiles...I'm still learning Photoshop though...))
