Mm, I know no one's interested in hearing about me, but I've been getting more used to things here. I wouldn't say I've stopped sunburning just yet, but I am better with the heat. And even with the pace we've been taking making our way through the desert ( Read more... )

Well, Jaezera is laughing at my terrible handwriting now. It was her request, so I hardly think she has the right to mock me. I still can't make any sort of connection between what she says and the words she shows me. Maybe I'm just too old for

Hm, I know it's not Wednesday, but I do have a question ( Read more... )

Mm, whoever recommended the aloe, it's perfect. One of the nomads who's guiding us happens to have quite a supply of it, though I can't imagine she ever burns, her skin is so dark. She was all too happy to lend me some, once she understood what I was asking for. She speaks little Trade, it seems. Luckily enough, Gareth is fluent in Atsirian, so ( Read more... )

The hat didn't help nearly as much as I hoped it would. I'm still quite burnt, but luckily enough, I took it upon myself to purchase some burn lotion just in case of this sort of occasion. We've still quite a way to go, out here, unsurprisingly, but that's the way of it. Atsiria is far too large of a country, in my estimation ( Read more... )

Hm, very well. I could keep railing against you like a child, or I could call it quits while I'm ahead. It's quite a difficult decision to make.

On the one hand, I do enjoy doing what I can for my dear, dear former employer, but really, it's tiring. All I'm managing to do is make myself look the irrational woman who can't let ( Read more... )

I have to say that I didn't expect us to stay long in Kavan, but, well, here we still are. Apparently my employer believes we need more guards, and at this point, it's his money, I can't argue with how he spends it.

We'll need at least a couple of guides, too, he says. I imagine he didn't hire them before because none of them seem to ever leave ( Read more... )

Hardly the most glamorous job, now, is it?

Hm. I can't argue, though. The man treats me like something he's scraped off his shoe, certainly, but everyone has to start somewhere, and I think I prefer it when he's honest. At least he's not looking at me down his nose and pretending he's simply following the natural order.Hm, so. A ( Read more... )

You know, the most curious thing about birthdays is that they stop meaning anything at all once you get older. Here I stand, freshly 24, and I'm more concerned about whether my new employer is entirely trustworthy than the fact that I'm another year older ( Read more... )

For the extremely curious, I am indeed on a boat. To Salinda. Tempting as freezing my limbs off in Korin was, I decided to go for a slightly cheaper route. I don't have any sort of plans for once I arrive, but I have to say, it's refreshing to just flow with the wind, for once. Much less restrictive.
