[Journal] Walking Forward
Lenalee has been traveling with us for the last few... months now, isn't it? She is beginning to smile more and more, and fear less, although she's still too polite and too worried...
I've been practicing with her, and she's improving quickly! We've been doing routines together, and the audience loves her. I like... seeing the way she smiles, when she finishes a show. I know how it feels...
It's nice traveling with a friend like this, though... ah... I guess she still thinks of me more as a master than a friend, most of the time. But the circus seems more and more distant, and Lenalee closer and more real. They've always been my family, ever since Father took me in, and they always will be, but... I don't want to be pitied and raised like this. I have to... walk forward... with my own legs.
...But not yet. Maybe not. Lenalee likes it in the circus, and it's nice for her to be around people. But she must... feel it too, right? We can't stay with the circus forever...
Ah...
But...
If we finally settle down, it has to be a town that she likes, with a big and beautiful fountain. What if she doesn't want to? ...Ah... I can wait...
Ah! I almost forgot!
I saw a strange note today. Fear...? I... ah... I think that's what it said. Maybe it's bear. A... a lost pet bear?
...And... ah...
...
...
...
Cloves?
Globes?
...Umm...
Ah... where am I supposed to find whoever sent it, anyway? I don't think he(?) even left a name...
