{Mukashi Journal} Of Bathwater and Birds
It seems I just barely missed splashing a passerby with my bathwater this morning ^.^;;; I hope he wasn't too angry. It certainly must have woken him up at least! I also observed a traveling couple having lunch beneath a tree on the edge of the clearing around noontime. They were kind enough to wave at me ^.^
I've been observing recently that there are more and more travelers passing by on the path. I wonder what they are all seeking in Axis Mundi (or perhaps other lands?). I can't help but think about where they might be going, or why I see very few of them come back this way. Have they all found what they left their homes for?
...I have tried to do nothing but smile for him, but still, my king sees such unnecessary things. In the most recent letter that I received from him, he made mention of beginning to look for something like a magic mirror for me to use. Finding something like that would be difficult however, as magic mirrors tend to be priceless heirlooms that are carefully kept within families, besides being rare. I truly hope that he does not go to any unnecessary trouble, especially since even the simplest of entertainments he sends along to me are enough to keep me busy. Why, that book about paper-folding arts from the Eastern kingdoms he gave me kept me absorbed all day once. He really is much too kind...
Speaking of letters, I really should go feed Windam and Garuda so they're strong for their flight back to Seles tomorrow.
(Ehe, such grand names for messenger birds. Something like "Windy" and "Garu" would be cuter. XD)
Ahaha! And speaking of birds! I finally decided on names for the couple of swallows that have chosen my window as the place to start their little family ^.^ The "wife" is named Little Shara and the "husband" is named Sir Rasetsu ^.^ He's such an attentive mate. This is the first time that swallows have decided to take shelter in my window, so I wonder if there are more of them this year?
When the sun sets, I believe I shall set up the telescope for star-gazing. The movements of the heavens wait for no one, after all ^.^
All for now.
