[Paper diary]
My stint at the Shire Faire starts tomorrow. I hope Sibyl isn't as tired as she was this afternoon- I've let her back into the Aether for rest. It always feels strange when she's gone, but- of course- Hermes stopped by to chat, which always ends up being diverting enough that I didn't notice until just now.
He told me several entirely fallacious stories about what Athena did with a goat that was intended for a sacrifice. I'm not entirely sure he understands the meaning of the words 'shut up, you poncy git.' Which is probably a good thing, considering what I owe him.
I did some fortunetelling for free in some sort of Nexus this afternoon. Met a Thomas. I don't like Thomases. They're never... up to scratch. But we had an interesting conversation and I think I may have shown off. I'll have to be more careful in the future.
I also met
-a snake (very charming)
-an interestingly scarred man with an interest in summoning (we'll be meeting later this week)
-some sort of extremely pathetic monster
-a galactic conqueror (rather liked him)
-and a full chorus of the usual fortune-seeking types.
Rather nice way to spend a thunderstorm. Now I just need to make sure I'm prepared to spend the next week doing that and then it's off for a week.
The conversation with the Thomas brought up the idea of going to school again. Or at least taking some time off to study. I admit, the prospect of studying under that quack McIver is entertaining. I could systematically disprove everything he's written about me and go on my way. Charming thought.
I'm fond of America, though. Big countries, lots of open air. I think I may go up to Canada in April and wander around Quebec.
But that's another time.
