A knock sounds at your door and the fainter sound of boots stepping away from the door.

@cobblers-wife stands outside in buckskin pants and a too big shirt, a look of determination on her face.

It was difficult. Waking up, catching the sound of boots on stone, moving. Her body ached, wounds old and new reminding her of past foolishness but she rose regardless, there were few people who would come for her. Fewer still who could be knocking at her guest chambers.

Nox opens the door, her armor gone, an old sleeveless threadbare tunic and linen trousers in it's place. The dark circles under her eyes deeper, and a sickly pallor to her face even as she tried to smile at her visitor.

"Good afternoon Sierra, what brings you here?"

Dear Diary,

If I could cut myself and bleed into your pages, I would. For all that is too much to form into words; my blood whispers all understanding as I know it the moment you mingle. The breath I breathe mingling with my soul dot to connect to the words I spoke - my coinpurse would not be so empty. The candle wax drips upon their collecting dishes. It would also save on the trees. That would save the woodmen who go out, risking the ire of that which dwells inside.

I speak only to avoid focusing on recording the truth. It feels like a new me sits before you now. Which tree were you use to be? Are we reflections of the same energy?

I avoid to saying I saw a shadow. Not the "shadowmen" (for whom still avoid looking at me) but a shade. A thing beyond. A thing I know nothing of for truth outside that it seems to hunt better than a hound, to appear without prior indication, and return the speaker's voice and memories of sound to them. And they can be bit. Their insides either lie to your senses or bring you to another layer of the heavens. Princess Margaret saved my life, I owe her my loyalty. We shall discover more of this creature.

Also must make a note to proclaim to the self that will emerge from the lands of sleep to make sure that The Lady Nox Valerius' riding boots have had a final inspection and shine in the morrow.

Diary... sometimes i am reminded that I am a bad person. I need to try harder.

Pardons for interrupting, your new riding boots are almost complete but I do have a question. For the sole of the boot, were you wanting traditional leather sole or leather sole with metal nails for additional traction and durability?

- @cobblers-wife

Oh absolutely the nails! If the nails poke through the heel cap then it'll make tree climbing a bit easier. Do you think you could incorporate a false seem in the back stay or vamp for a few lockpicks?

You'd be amazed how many bandits and guards lose their keys.

I really respect you, but why do you have such a grudge against the Uchihas? Of course, they are powerful. Is your aversion to the fact that you have no control over it?

They sure are powerful when it comes to do shit. Because that’s what they do.

Thank you for your trust, fellow citizen. 

No, I don’t have any grudge against any of the citizens of Konoha, as a leader is my job to treat them all equaly with dignity and social rights, and that’s what I do. And yes I would control and suppress any threat that ever appeared on Konoha, being an Uchiha or not, it is not my fault that they usually are the ones that try to disturb the order we achieved.

So, no, I don’t have anything against the Uchihas, I even have a student that is one.
