So many tidings to deliver upon this day. There are troubles, great news, and smaller details to provide, and I am excited to document them.
I have spoken at great length with Sairona over the past two weeks, keeping up-to-date on this budding friendship and the intricacies of our communication. She is remarkably distant lately! I think she always was, but in a way that provided a smokescreen of sarcasm and bravado. Now she is like a riverbed without water: dry, barren, without life nor the ability to give others life. I know what the cause of this is, but I shall not disturb her with my prodding. I am sure she is like me, and she handles her problems on her own. I have not confided in someone in quite sometime; I imagine her reality is similar. Perhaps, then, I am a good influence? I do not know.
I met this halfling, Wisterhya, the other day. She had some companions, a Kelynn and some other woman of which her name does not cross me at the moment. Though I amused myself greatly with the argument I sparked with Kelynn, I was interrupted by the social heroism of this halfling who thought I was bullying the poor woman. Of course I would do no such thing, I was merely challenging her rights as a seller and consolidating my social influence against her in public, as we merchants must do to proliferate a persona for our goods. It is also good fun to jest and get into verbal battle with another sometimes, just for the sake of the expulsion of negative thoughts.
Then I had the great pleasure of meeting this dwarf, Balnirar, who is very quiet towards me, but I respect him nonetheless. Not every person in this world has something to say at all times, and I hope he is happy and content with the state of affairs in his realm of things. Some day we shall speak great length, I am sure, but it is not this day. Until then!
The dreams have plagued my sleep again. I cannot seem to figure out how to restore myself to slumber, or even to a state where they cease to appear. Perhaps I must go on an adventure somewhere and occupy my mind with thoughts of new lands and new peoples; otherwise I have no solutions. Perhaps I shall drink? No, that is not acceptable. Only a fool drinks to forget. It is easier to remember and understand, and place it in the context of life!
I must figure out what they mean, and attack the source directly.
