Yesterday
Sis told me she has ‘a possible cure’.
Explained
she got some vials from Thisdan and ‘instructions’ from the Nigthwarden. I
didn’t really feel like hearing the whole story. It had something to do with Ilphukiir,
the soon-to-be-wife of Jorendo, who went into the Emerald Dream. All for me?
“This might
mean we could return you to being a gnommette again.” Sis said. “Would it hurt?”
I asked. Of course Freckles wouldn't know...I can’t even imagine how it would
feel being gnomette again. Small, four fingers. I looked at Sis and tried
not to weep. Didn’t succeed and felt nausea coming up.
Tried to
get away from her as fast as possible, from everyone, from Jelinda Gwynned who came
by, Duckular, Talamana and everyone else. Went to the mailbox to find out that
Ryle had responded to my letter.
The last
couple of weeks it has been easy to get away from Sis, but tonight she seemed to watch me closely, as if she wanted me to stay in the office. So Freckles
came up with this idea of a gift for Kalistra O'Brandin about which I can’t write yet. Also, she asked me to sort out the
photos of the Eastvale Tournament
and the Watchmans Ball.
I did so. but
it was confusing, Ryle was everywhere. Of course the photos of the Eastvale
Tournament made me think of the fish I bought for him. The merchant wrapped it
in an old issue of The Voice, it
reported on the Tournament. When Ryle and I met, I was so nervous that I
started reading the Voice-wrapping and we talked about the Tournament. Of
course Ryle also helped organizing the Watchmans Ball. Sis gave me her notes on
the Ball, so I could write some comments with it. She wrote down the jokes
Duckular made at the Ball –in full detail. So sweet.
After the albums were
done, I cleaned out the office and found my Cute Counter, 58, it said, stupid thing. Threw it out in the
garbage.
It was in
the middle of the night when Sis came home again. She had been taking photos of
Jelinda and Thomas Kerengar. Spend the whole afternoon developing the photos. This one came out best. It shows how
pregnant she is, they look like a pretty couple. Jelinda is so kind, she
brought me some kind of grass which helps against nausea.
Now I am
happy everything is done. Hopefully I can sneak out sometime soon. I need to
think –alone.
