I'm finally feeling as if I'm getting the hang of riding the red drakes into battle. They're intelligent, encouraging and they don't stare at me as if I'm a snack. I am finding pleasure in being useful and welcome, even admired for my work and dedication to the Red Flight.
I am not so pleased, however, with how things have turned out with Gelles and Harod. I want Gelles to be happy, she is as close to me as my sister once was. But I do not think that Harod will make her happy. In fact, I think that if she and him continue as they are, she will end up unhappy as she was with Enrik.
However, I apologized to them both for interrupting their date and I've washed my hands of it. I refuse to watch her self destruct again in order to help someone. I will not witness her dying a martyr. Of course, if she does die because of that abomination; he'll find soon that while he may be a giant, he isn't invincible. He'll go down and hard.
I spoke with Tacq about what happened the other night. When bringing things up to him I always feel trepidation at first. When I bring problems to Gelles it's because I have no other choice and that's only because I'm willing to endure her disapproval of what I am for her help. With Tacq, I am finding I don't need to worry. He accepts who and what I am without question and is usually in agreement with me or is willing to readily forgive my mistakes.
I don't think I could have asked Elune for a better partner than Tacq. We aren't disgustingly in love like some of the couples I see cuddling and even making out in the cities. But we have a mutual understanding and respect that I am still marveling over. The love that I feel for Tacq is something beyond anything I've felt in the past. I think I've finally found a best friend who I can relate to on all levels.
I asked Tacq to meet me on the Aldor Rise entrance to Nagrand and to wear casual clothes. I'm going to make food for us and we're going to find an island close by and enjoy our night. No distractions, no death; just us.
