...Dentoria's still pretty far. I love Korin, it's been my home for fifteen years and I'll miss it. I'm still a little scared to go so far away, I won't see my family as much...I'm gonna miss them, especially Albert! And Iris and her boyfriend, if they get serious and wanna get-no, she's still too young to be thinking that far, but even so.

I'll just miss everything.

But even knowing that I still wanna go. It's not as far as Megam would've been, after all...oh, and I'll see real spring and summer weather too, we never get that up here! I didn't even think of that at first!

...well, she didn't seem nearly as angry as I feared she would be. But I don't think it will last.

Maybe I should have let Maeve tell her after all...! Or maybe asked Lord Lawrence to do it...no, I have to handle this myself! Maybe I should wait until Sir Keagan and the others come back with the Prince.

How are you feeling now?

Hm ... it's a bit odd ... I mean, I'm sure it's nothing but ...

Well, it wouldn't hurt to ask ...

[Filter: Keller]

You know, I've been meaning to ask you something ...

[Filter: Trey]

Ah ... thank you for all of your help ... I'll try applying the new strategy to my practices ... hopefully, it'll help ...

... hello, Robin ... ah ... how was Night of the Dead for ah ... for everyone ...? Was ah, was Aunt Susan all right ...?

Does anyone know any REALLY AWESOME card games that are really easy to learn? there's this Atsirian woman on the boat who's teaching me a game she called THIRTEEN! And what you have to do is that you have to get rid of ALL your cards by beating the card the person before you put down! BUT it's lots harder than that and I'm still learning the rules, which is why I'm asking for an EASY game!

Daren says that people from different places play different games, so I said that since there's people here from ALL OVER EIRE, I'd ask everyone! Then HE said that it's gonna be hard learning games from just reading the rules and you need people to SHOW you how to play the game too, but I don't think it'd be THAT hard!

Oh, everyone liked it! That makes me so glad. I hope it really cheers everyone up, for a long time, so that when things are bad, they can think of the time we had a Moon Festival party to make up for what happened during the real Moon Festival, and smile a little. And I'm very happy that everyone thought that it was such a good idea. It makes me feel useful. It's ... nice.

I wonder what Mother would have thought about one of my ideas becoming something that made people happy. I wish it didn't hurt so much to think about her.
