[Bryn has been extremely quiet since the trial, and has more or less kept to her room. After everything had calmed, she had forced herself to leave the training yard and back to her room, and left there only to get food and come back. Normally at a time when she was upset, she might have changed forms and gone for a run in the forest or out to the fields to take a nap, but the whole incident had made her feel even more unsafe to share secrets like that. After all, there was still a lot she didn't know about this place.
Unable to nap, and tired of looking out the window, Bryn picked up her journal and began to write.]
It's concerning alarming to realize that there are rules and consequences in Lord Deior's Keep that we were unaware of, and may still be in the dark about. I certainly didn't realize that a "trial" like that would take place would take place, and for simply disturbing the peace. Did anyone else know that was the consequence? I wonder if those in charge thought that their no-tolerance stance on fighting would be better emphasized by an example of the consequences, rather than a preventative warning?
Was this trial the way they will handle disturbances with everyone, or only those who are two-natured?
I don't like it.
Lord Deior said nothing of rules of conduct beyond keeping records, which I am doing now, I might add. I realize that it is polite to keep the peace while in the home of another, and to be respectful of other guests, but this reaction is extreme.
It isn't as if they didn't know that we're from different worlds and may have different codes of conduct. If they anticipated trouble might happen, then they could have also assumed that some of us are from worlds where that trouble simply isn't punished that way. They wouldn't have known to behave on pain of death.
[Bryn pauses in her furious scribbling with her quill, and sighs.]
What kind of place is this? What else aren't they telling us?
