Your mother still won't let me visit. She even yelled at me the other day when I came by. I thought it'd be different after the Festival. I was hoping my gift would make a difference. I don't understand why she doesn't like me. I've tried everything. It's only gotten worse.

I was going through my room today, and found my sword in one of my drawers. I hadn't used it in so long it so long it had dust on it, and the blade is barely even sharp anymore. I remember when I used to practice fencing for at least an hour every day, but now I can't even remember the last time I used it. I think it was in Ilserna, maybe, with Lady Tyrande. I've been so busy with my lessons, and... everything else, I hadn't even thought about it.

I used to be really good with it, or at least I think I was. My instructor always had good things to say. I should learn again. I don't think it would take me long to remember everything I learned before.

I'm sorry, I'm wasn't very much fun tonight. I hope I didn't ruin the ball for you. I guess I'm just not in a very festive mood. Thank you for the present though. I can't wait to open it when I get home!

I hate this. Dairanne always says she's busy even though I know she's just at home with her mother. It's her mother's fault too. She hates me, and every time she sees me she gives me that look. I probably won't even get to see Dairanne for the Festival, and that's not fair at all. I know she's busy, but I want to help. I can help, and it would take my mind off of everything else. I wish there were more Amtahcha games to watch. That's the only way I've gotten to see her at all, and when we're there the only thing that matters is the game and cheering everyone on. Everything is better when I'm with her, because I don't have to think about anything else. Especially not my stupid brothers and what jerks they always are.

What do you do when the girl you like has a mother who hates you?

[Atsirian]

The Amtahcha is tomorrow, can you believe it?! I am so excited and I just know the Vipers are going to win this time! My whole family is going to be there to watch it this time, and I'm hearing even more people out in the city talking about it than I did the first time too!

I hope you're coming tomorrow too, and we can cheer together again. It isn't going to be the same if you aren't there, but I understand if you're going to be busy.

Are you busy tonight? If not, do you think you could sneak out again? It's been a while since we've seen each other, and I'm free tonight if you'd like to go do something. There's a new restaurant that I've been wanting to try, and it's not very expensive, so we could pretend we're commoners like we did before. It would be really fun to do again, don't you think?

The other day was really fun! It was like we were doing something we shouldn't be, and hiding it in front of everyone. Your mother didn't find out, did she? I hope you weren't late getting home. I wouldn't want you getting in trouble because of me.

I came to your house today, but Lady Magatha said you were busy again. She didn't look happy that I came by unannounced either. I just thought I would surprise you, because we haven't gotten to see each other for a while.



... I hope I didn't get you in trouble.

I think yesterday was my best birthday ever! Dairanne took me out and we had a really fun dinner at this little place we can't normally go to, and then when we got back there was a surprise party! No one's ever thrown me a surprise party before. It wasn't a very big one, but that's okay because I wouldn't want it to be a big party anyways. It was just the perfect size, and all our friends were there, and it was really great!

I hope Karlesta is okay. I wish I could go talk to her, but it would look awful if I followed her out when I'm supposed to be with Dairanne. We're courting. I can't just leave to help Karlesta, even though she's my friend. Everyone would talk, even though it's not like that at all. There's nothing I can do. I hate feeling useless.

You shouldn't worry about it. Your party was great and no one would blame you for anything bad that happened. It's not your fault, and if anything it's just going to make people talk about it even more, right? Everyone else was having fun, and all the food was delicious, and the party is going really really well otherwise.
