It passes, as always. But I know something will happen to start it all over again. It always does. I wish I could take her away from it all, somewhere where it could be just us and I would never make her feel like that.

What are you doing tonight?~

Mom asked me to help out at the shop today, it's been very busy lately. People seem to want to spend money once it warms up a bit. Or maybe they all just found out that there summer clothes don't fit anymore~

I managed to avoid doing any sewing, thank Dragons. Aisling's much better at that sort of stuff, which means I get to stand, write down orders, take money, and generally look pretty wearing one of Mom's latest creations. Life can be so rough~

I still have time for you, of course. If you can put your books away for a moment or two~

[Filter: Private, Kilian]

Oh honey, you need to be able to relax. You don't need to help everyone all the time to make up for one broken dish.

[Filter: Hana, Kilian]

Have you seen the stars tonight? They're beautiful.

[Filter: Private, Kilian]

Not again. Every time this happens, I think maybe it's the last time. That last time she gets this way...or the last time for us.

I can't lose her. Not my Hana.

How are you feeling today?

Happy birthday to me~

[Filter: Hana, Kilian]

Whatever you have planned for today, it had better include some time for the two of us to spend alone. I have some terribly fun ideas I'd like to put into practice~

It's my birthday next week! I could be all coy about it, but apparently that's what everyone else does and I'd hate to go along with the flock~

I hope that someone plans to do something though~

[Filter: Private, Kilian]

See. It's not so bad. Not so bad at all.

[Filter: Public, Kilian]

Friends, Kilians, countrymen and women~

How are you all? I know I haven't met many of you, besides that one cranky person...and Hana of course. But I've seen you writing. So let's be friends~

So um...there's a lot of people here, aren't there? I tried to read back but honestly it was all a bit much to take in. Plus I couldn't read all that stuff in all languages that weren't Kilian or Trade.

Anyway, I guess I should introduce myself or something, that would be polite thing to do after all. I'm Nansi, I live in Tiranoe (that's in Kilia for those who don't know and didn't already figure it out). I'm 16, but not for much longer because my birthday is next month. I think that's about it? Sorry to say, I'm not really that interesting.

Oh, and my friend who you may have seen me writing to earlier was Hana. She's the same age as me, lives in the same place, and probably wouldn't have introduced herself because she is painfully shy. We're working on it.
