Recently...

I find my hands reaching for comfort in the coin that formerly lounged like a cat around my neck more often than I would like to admit. And none have seemed to notice, save Dryas and Luna, and that was briefly.
I went to see Heahstan again, and that was mildly uneventful. The man needs a bath, and if I continue to think about him for more than a few moments, I feel more affectionate than I should. Which is akin to how I feel around Cylan...who...I kissed last night, and that was...
Well, it just was, and that's that. Cylan is a good kid, who has a girl who is not good for him, who he loves. And he should...concentrate on that. Or perhaps seek out Yay; they seem like they'd make a good pair. I can not and should not become so attached to Cylan that I begin to need him like I did Wren. He's a good friend, and needs to stay that way. Truly!
Though...it sounds as if I'm trying to convince myself of that, doesn't it? We'll see how it plays out.

I've decided two things, though, that you should know of:
1. I need to put my coin back on, if only for comfort and memories, Elbahn bless.
2. I am going out East with Captain Dryas, to see what I can see and help how I can. I need to write him a note....
