I found out yesterday that my father has visited this place before.
I really should find a way to apologize properly to Raspberyl. I was very rude to her when she told me about it.
But that's not important right now. I've managed to finally find my room, and get myself settled in. However, even with my room in order, my thoughts are a mess. I've tried meditation, but I can't keep the concentration needed to find my center. So, being unable to meditate, I will try to find a place to train.

[Negi has found a clear space just a short walk from the castle, where he has used some magic to clear and etch out a dirt circle. Anyone on the outside of the castle, or who happens to be walking by can see him. As you notice him, he is in the middle of a longer kata and probably is not entirely aware of your presence.]
[Off to one side, sits his outer robes, and his staff. He is left in a close fitting set of chinese clothes(see below) as he works.]
