Personal log entry: An unexpected visitor

[kehari]

I don't know whether to be amused or horrified. If gods watch over fools and lovers, I'm glad I'm both.

A letter arrives for Actinna

Part One of Conversation

[anonymous]

Keharit'ciatn sends, ~*tentative* Ma'am? I'm... having second thoughts. Serious second thoughts. You know what I did this morning yes

Part Two of Conversation

[anonymous]

Lysette sends, ~I cannot let you have an owner before me, Kehari.. I've promised you that, in so many ways. I can let them work with you, and all, though, if it comes to it.. If they are genuinely reasonable. If we can come to some happy end. These are all such big ifs.. But if we can all find out where we stand, rather than shuffling our feet as we have, our world will be better. Maybe even better than before, as.. I've never ruled out the future's widest range, however impossible it seems.. *a touch of happiness, its a smile

I don't want to THINK about having Sosael's Strangeknife

It's not Strange at all, actually. Sosael's knives are perfectly ordinary knives. They do not have any special powers beyond being really, really sharp; they're just an instantiation pattern she favors.

Any other significance they have is wholly in your mind - stories of power in them are lies.

Excellent. :)

...so your plans have not stood up to their optimistic billing, and your attempt at recovering them has involved the Child. Manipulation of him, no less.

...

I pray you will succeed in your efforts, for if you do not, I may need to take... drastic action to correct these errors in judgement.

*muttering to herself* I will not impede my Lady's lesson. I will not impede my Lady's lesson. I will not impede my Lady's lesson...
