~6th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon, 1577~
(10/6/13)
Thirty-two suns have passed.
I never... How could I imagine that a person could surprise me so much? In such a small amount of time? Alice opened herself up to me one day. It was the second time I had ever brought her to the Sanctum of the Twelve. She adores it there. We ended up speaking of many things, mostly about me. Alice wanted to know so much about me. My interests, my quirks, my thoughts, my habits, my childhood. Pray do not get the wrong idea. It was not invasive in the slightest. I found it charming, much like her.
I find myself talking to her freely. No one I have ever escorted anywhere before was so curious about me, let alone actually found me worth speaking with. The fact that she knows nothing of my awful sins likely plays a large hand. However... I cannot describe it. I can be myself in a way unlike before when I am at her side. I do not feel afraid or restricted. The only anxieties I ever possess are worries of impressing the girl. Worries that are needless. Alice is rarely, if ever, displeased by anything I tell her. Me? Amazing? An odd conclusion to hear one draw about a woman such as myself.
Alice's nameday will be four suns from now. I very much want to give her a nice little present, but I am going to be busy during that time period. I am considering forging her a pair of earrings, but my goldsmithing skills are mediocre at best. I really love having her as a new friend as opposed to just being some charge I never talk to, so I want to show her my appreciation!
