I decided to pack some of my things and head to the Manor this morning when I woke. I should’ve left by now, but I had to make sure Senicuss knew where I was going before I just disappeared. That man and his new ambitions are proving to be not only exciting, but taxing for us both. And the bad part? I’m not even directly involved. Suppose how his visits have grown fewer and his leisure time is no longer mine. Hopefully it will change once everything is settled, but it’s hard to tell. Regardless, it’s a place I want to be and will continue to wait.
I was on my way to the hospice to pick up a few last minute things when Laarah’s voice echoed over the family communication device. She wanted my opinion on a speech she had written for this month’s Citizens Forum. After reading it, I had to give the woman praise for her well-spoken hand. Not only did she make her point swiftly and gracefully, but she also tied into the patriotism of our People as a whole. I was highly impressed with her idea and I really think it will take off without much effort. She’s genuine and I really think she has a lot going for her in the future. However, she seems very negative toward the responsibilities of the women of our caste. In all honesty, I can’t blame her. I got extremely lucky with how things worked out for me, so I can only hope she finds the same. I truly wish she does find someone she can be with for love instead of duty. Another thing she mentioned was this charity date auction. I dislike the entire idea to be honest. The blood status of these nobles that will be buying the company of another is not checked, so how do they know who’s buying whom? I expressed this to Laarah, and she assured me that Xaldur would be going with her, so that made me feel a bit better. Even still, Laarah is special to me, and if something happened to her, there would be hell to pay.
After I left the hospice, I made my way for the stable to retrieve a rented Hawkstrider. Of course, after checking on Sadie (The Hawkstrider I rescued from death when I was younger) I made my way to the manor. Yes, I had considered just riding her, but she’s so very old. I’m scared that with one wrong stride, she might hurt herself further. Besides, her leg was broken when I rescued her, so she has a limp anyway. Now, she’s more of a pet than anything. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by Chandrelle. She’s such a lovely woman and has served my mother well. She had tea waiting, so after handing over my bags, I made my way toward the patio that overlooks the gardens.
A bit of my evening was spent drinking tea and simply admiring the grounds my mother called home.
