((OOC: Private entry))
Today felt really fantastic! I just kept remembering how much I used to hoard my patrol, but finally opening up and sharing it with people feels so rewarding! I only wish I started sooner.
I keep promising not to let bad things happen to Budehuc. I made that promise after Father died, and after this recent bandit attack... I strongly dislike myself for freezing up. Why didn't I take action!? Finally I had my chance to get revenge, even if they weren't the same bandits that killed him, but I just couldn't do it. Am I that poor of a guard? Would this not have happened if I shared sooner? What would Father do...?
Somehow I feel like he would have done what I just did, only sooner. I hope Master Thomas is pleased by it! Normally I have to get approval from him when I take on new guards, but given recent events... I think he'll understand.
Oh! We have a new visitor too! His name is Sir Riou. I think I will ask him if he wants to help walk the dogs--I find a lot of newcomers feel more comfortable about navigating the grounds when they have a dog or five to keep them company!
Miss Alanis didn't think she'd be experienced enough to help with patrolling... I wonder what counts as experience...?
