A productive day, I think. Managed to get in contact with some old friends and family I had not seen since started keeping a low profile. For distant relatives, they were surprisingly accomodating.

I've spent a great deal of time with a human girl, as of late. Goes by the name of Emmi, but her name's Emiliana. Pretty, of course (most of them are), but she's also fun. Never thought I could feel this way about a human girl. She won't understand, of course. No one ever does.

I don't get attached to people. Something I learned very young, people leave. They shuffle along because of life, death, and what-have-you, and they leave you. The key is, if you find somebody else who's company you can stand, enjoy it while you can. And don't begrudge them when they're not there, anymore.

That Emmi girl's turning into quite a bit of trouble. I volunteered to take her out in the Sharahan Hills, let her have at some of the Spittlefist. We handled ourselves nicely and she's docking ears for ol' Sarge Greyham when all of a sudden, her cousin appears with a bloody mob. I thought I'd be lynched, for sure. Luckily, they were only keeping an eye on the capricious lass and yours truly.

I don't think her family (nor their friends) likes me all that much. Guess I'll have to cross them off my High Harvestide gift list.

Long week. I don't know why I'm bothering to write...I have little to say.

Went home for a while and took some old toys out of the box. Expensive toys, back in their day. But they were fun to play with, as usual. Later, we were all looking a bit dirty, so the family took us to the bath-house to have a good scrubbing. I held the door, like a true gentleman should, and we all came away clean.

I find myself intrigued with the Blackwell family. Emmi remains my prime focus, but I'm careful. The way she looks at me...I can't tell if it's pity or endearment. Not that either matters, because she's well taken care of by the solemn Salararius Shepard. Having gotten to know her cousin and brother better, I find I like them both, in a fashion. Lysandra's respectable, but she bears watching. I sense the soul of a viper in her. Darius "holier-then-thou" Blackwell. How about a Paladin in the family? For a paladin, he's got a pretty good sense of humor.

They are an interesting family...but they are not my family. And they never will be. It's not something easily forgotten.

This new trick, Johanna? Seems she's worked her way through faster then I'd imagine possible. She's got potential, without a doubt...but she's a tad soft for my tastes. And I'm not into human girls...

(except the one.)
