What an odd woman. [ink blot] Â Kind, of course, and much her own, maybe not odd at all for one of the surface, but.. [spot] That she might find ease in nervous times by my presence? Â It's-[streak, spot] well, it is flattering~ Â But very strange, I [another few small spots, like a pen was tapped here]
She is not doing what I am doing, is she? Â It didn't seem like it, but I don't know if it is supposed to seem like it... [blot] Or be obvious. Â Well, we have only spoken twice. Â And from what I understand, it is not meant to be obvious, yet all the more convincing if it is true. Â Per[spot] Perhaps it is true?
[another blot]
Which would be exciting, if true! Â I would be making progress, somewhere I am doing something right, or as 'right' as it can be to their ends, and [small spot] How exciting~
But even so, it may get me into trouble. Â Trouble is fine alone, how else will one find what is otherwise hardly found? Â But I still am unsure if I want this trouble, since it sounds likely to be caught. Â Especially by how she's tending. Â [spot]
I should actually write what is occurring~
I met Ellemeare again, when I was attempting to experiment. Â It seems I hadn't missed our other, pre-mentioned meeting, and that she has had other matters to see to. Â Which of course, is expected, one having a life to live and all~ Â Though she'd managed to get herself in a place with leery outcomes by her good, yet unspoken, intentions. Â It seems she has a friend, a servant and a Gr Wildwood, whom was separated from his family. Â Apparently this caused him duress, and his attempts at reaching them by word or otherwise have been futile. Â Ellemeare had apparently taken him in and given him the job of 'servant' until he could push himself to more solid ground, and it sounds as though they grew close thereon after. Â But she, unbeknownst to him, attempted to contact his family herself, in hopes that she may get a reply and.. surprise him with it? Â Tell him good news? Â I am unsure, exactly, but she meant it for his sake.
[blot] By my own thoughts, I find this hardly an intelligent thing to do, contacting another's family without their knowledge; and having never met them one's self! Â Especially unwise in such a situation, but, so her feet have settled in this clay. Â
Even more unfortunate for her, is the reply she received was one she took as threatening, that they claimed he was not their relative, and if he were, then his actions marked him as bringing them shame. Â They also requested that she send him to them. Â Which she is vehemently opposing. Â Beyond that, they are from Ishgard. Â Which.. [blot] Though I seek knowledge in all places, that is a place I know I would rather avoid. Â
She asked for my advice about this, about what she should do. Â She thought she may teach him of Aetherical studies, to defend himself, and that I felt was wise~ Â I had offered then (though I'd not all the information yet, which is likely my fault) to assist in the teaching of bringing forth one's own Aether, should he accept such a thing. Â I made clear that he be aware that I am a duskwight, should he hold any issue with it; I would rather be dismissed prior to undergoing wildwood scrutiny.
 I offered also that she learn more of his family, perhaps by asking him.  ... Though at first, she didn't tell me that he was unaware of this situation, and I only later found out of the family's Ishgardian heritage.  It was then she said that she hadn't told him any of it, didn't want to worry him about it, and [blot] well, I could not see the logic in that.  Yes, perhaps she were attempting to spare his feelings of woe, but such seems to be a folly in this regard.  She is concerned about his well-being and freedom, that he might be attacked, and speculates self-defense an apt solution.  But to not inform him that he is in danger, and by his own family, no less?  How terribly unwise!  He, beyond all others, would know the situation at hand best, their strengths, their weaknesses, their tendencies and the likely hood of what may come to pass.  By the hells, if anyone ever did such a thing to me, I would be furious!  And I said so! Â
Though really it is [blot] her and his mess. Â I do not think I would have offered any assistance, considering the lack of thought given to this matter, nevermind involvement may completely bring to problem what I have been sent above for. Â Though perhaps she saw it, how [spot] illogical it was to hide, and told him. Â Regardless, she seemed.. comforted somehow by my advice, and that is when she said what I had started with here. Â Which, by the way I gave it, seems quite strange. Â ...It seems smiles really do put others at ease. [blot]
I cannot help but be curious to how those stones will tumble, but I also find I am quite content being far to the unknown side of things. Â
