[Damiren] is actually a 15-year-old girl
I've been told several times by my instructors that I should keep a record of missions, tasks, contacts, and lessons. So this morning I picked up a blank book and here it is. And I find myself completely unable to think of a single training-related thing to write about.
Ceirin Windstriker. ((with a couple of little hearts and flower doodles around it--I DID SAY HE'S A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL RIGHT))
That--was so awkward, and ended up so wonderfully. No thanks to Asshole Zenaether Skyfire, who for some light-forsaken reason has been promoted. I'm not looking forward to officially turning my communicator back on and reporting for duty today. I hope I can avoid his notice for a while, but I have no doubt that when he does turn his attention to me, he will do everything he can to make my life miserable. And there's not a fel-blasted thing I can do about it, either--other than complain to Commander Blacksun if he gets too blatantly rough, but even so, regardless of how badly the Asshole treats me, the Commander will still think less of me if I have to complain instead of solving it myself. Hmm... well, it's not like I don't know other people in the unit who have influence and aren't completely insane. First that light-damned Doctor who got me into this in the first place, then the Commander's brother, that crazy knight from the Kodo and his dead boyfriend, now this... I'll have to be careful to cultivate Annicus and Sebrawn as allies and friends. Something tells me I'm going to need their stability to get through this training.
Too much writing about the negative, not enough about the positive. She's not a Farstrider, she works with a military unit--the same one that the Thierry girl is in, in fact, the Harbingers of War. Despite the initial awkwardness, I ended up on friendly terms with Thierry's troll boyfriend, as well, who is also in the unit. There was dancing and singing, illusions, smoke bombs, lots of alcohol, shouting, tentacles coming up out of the ground, earthquakes, drama of various kinds... and I'm so glad I went. I will have to thank Annicus later. And... well, it's probably too early she's just gotten out of a marriage, I'm sure she isn't looking for a relationship. But... I hope I see her again. All I have to do is contact the Harbingers, I know where they're headquartered, I even have an official excuse of going out to check and make sure Thierry's there and prepared for the trial, and I can just casually happen to mention... she's probably not even thinking about me, she seemed distracted and said something about having a long-term plan that I don't think she meant me to hear. Well, I'm in training, they're sending me all over the world into dangerous situations, and I'm sure the Asshole will be doing his best to get me killed. So it's not like there's any potential for any kind of stability there anyway.
So I'm sitting here under a tree in Eversong, writing in this book, putting off turning on my stupid ring and reporting in... thinking about an... amazing woman, this is my private journal so I may as well go ahead and list it all out: beautiful, passionate, strong... she's seen things and done things that I've only heard about, she rides a tiger that she stole from a city of troll gods! She's so extraordinary. And I'm just another Blood Knight in training... I'm sure she I don't know what to think. So, enough thinking for now. Back to training, traveling, and fighting. But I'll be back at the Kodo on Thursday, and if she doesn't show up there, I'll make an excuse to go out to Fray Island on Friday, and just casually ask. What am I doing ((scribbles))
