She was gone this morning when I awoke, leaving behind delicate traces of herself. I told her I would not arrest her for her crimes but if she continues to leave evidence scattered so carelessly, I may have to reconsider my opinion. It is wrong of me to think of her in chains, subject to my whim; the blame would be hers if she allowed such a thing.
Should I cast her aside? Am I even still able to? This thief steals my time, she's proven to be more than a distraction and that might not please Him. I need to concentrate on other matters. It is time to begin my work with the Watch. The sooner that begins, the sooner we can reap the benefits of hard work. It is time to clean up the Lower City.
Thoughts of her remind me that I have an appointment with the Lady Ambassador this evening. After our last dance, I wonder if we will continue in circles again. I'm uncertain of her motives. Is there some real attraction to me? Or does she play with me in the hope of steering her mother away? I will have to continue this dance for reasons other than my own.
The time has also come to pay a visit to the Sheik. I am going to need to further my education and he is the one who can assist me at this time. I have much to learn and he may prove to be more than a teacher, perhaps a confidant. The Unicorn knows I need one.
