Potentials
I don't know what's wrong with me. Of course the unannounced work on the baths above us irritated me, but I've never...I can't recall wanting to strike Euram for his irritating behavior before. I almost did. It isn't him, though.
I've been unsettled since the battle. I didn't even leave the room for a week. I'm sure folks probably chalked it up to recovery, and I did have some minor injuries to get over. But I haven't felt like speaking to anyone lately. I was snappish with Queen...that wasn't right of me. I outright lost my temper with Euram. And yet...I'm not interested in amending it. I was probably more angry over being chased out of my solitude than anything else, lately I've wanted nothing more than to remain in here. I think I need to get away from this castle for a while. Forget looking for work, and just...go. Take Sigurd and go. Travel. Do something, anything. Explore.
I finally got a bite on a potential recruit. Then I find out he's Howling Voice. Wonderful. The only possible mercenary to add to the team happens to be a member of the Guild who has been and could again be sent out after my head. The universe really likes screwing with me, I swear. He seems decent, though. I will talk it over with Sigurd. But if we take him on, it would have to be after this vacation of ours.
It occurred to me yesterday that Sigurd and I have been together just over a year. I don't know if he gives a crap about anniversaries...but what do I make note of? The day I found out how he felt? The day he chose me? The day we moved in...? I don't know. (This is why I've never bothered to settle down. These things escape me.) He's the only thing I'm not irrationally irritated with. I don't know how he can be so calm and cheerful, but he is...if not for him I'd have either lost my mind or run away from the castle alone already. He's talking about going to the Islands. I want to, but...can I afford to be away that long? Hell, I don't care. As long as nothing happens to him while we're away. It vaguely feels like tempting fate, going with him to that part of the world...
I should see Kyle before we go. I'm not as worried about him this time around, but...there are a few things I need answered. There is a distance growing between us, I fear I may be losing a swordbrother somehow. It was terrifying and exhilarating watching him go up against the Queen like that. Yet...he wouldn't have had to, if only...
This is getting me nowhere.
I wonder if the doc knows any remedies for seasickness.
