With the royal family back in town, the guard count seems to be up. Understandable, given that the royal family should be protected, but...
It doesn't feel safe anymore. Perhaps its simply paranoia on my part, but with all the guards around, I've been getting the feeling that some of them are sniffing a little too closely. Given my second line of work... I can't take those chances anymore. At least not for a while.
Last night,the runner came to get the family that had been hiding with me. Anima mom and dad, human son. At least, human for now. Knowing what I do about Anima transformations and the dangers of being on the run, I would not be surprised if the son turned before long. For his sake, and for the ease of his life, I hope I'm wrong and that somehow, he makes it to adulthood safely. But I know the chances.
I told the runner about my suspicions last night, and he agreed that it feels more dangerous. I asked him not to bring others to me for a while.
Tonight, the usual group is coming for supplies...I'm giving them everything in my storage. I've let it run lower than usual lately, but I've decided to clear it out, and perhaps move some of my fabrics down. If the guards sniff too closely and decide to investigate, I don't need to give them any reason to suspect, and an empty basement is almost, if not equally suspicous as a basement full of food and medicine. I'm going to have to clear out the cots in the room down there, too, and find some use for the space.
All this is only temporary, I hope, but right now...I'm not feeling confident in my ability to keep others safe. Myself and Riku will be difficult enough....
I'm going to be busy! I need to rearrange a few things in the house, and get my work room organized. It's feeling pretty cluttered, and that's making it hard for me to focus on work. Plus, fabrics are selling at good prices lately, so I feel the need to stock up. If I try to add all the extra materials into my current workspace, I won't be able to walk, much less make anything. :pp
