Poe's Journal Entry
Daevien did not stir. I am not sure why he has slept so long, what is going on? I wasn’t going to wake him…and I know he didn’t ask for me…that says a lot, right? So I left the ship to make a quick delivery up to Fallgourd. Rather forward Hyur approached me and called me a ‘moonlit rose’. Perhaps those sweet lines work on other females. But…it won’t with me. I look at their actions…and actions sure say a lot, don’t they?Interesting that as I approached the inn to drop off the herbs I saw Lina. Lina?? Turns out she had been hiding to keep away from Carter. We chatted while I drank my tea. I felt bad, Lina looked lonely, bored perhaps? I want to help with the Carter situation, but I don’t think anyone thinks I would be helpful. Oddly enough, as we sat, it dawned on me Lina was wearing Ace’s shirt….This is proof I have been in the clouds. Lina….was wearing Ace’s shirt. His shirt! I thought something was going on at the masquerade and now she is in his clothing? I wanted to press her for information but held off. I know I am too curious and it isn’t my business.
I feel like I need a night to run away, a girl night where I can cry on a shoulder. Rose has been busy, she is who I would turn to. I may go speak to Ace, but…I know he has a lot on his mind and he seemed so tired when I last spoke with him. I am confused by Daevien’s actions as of late. Busy, gone…he leaves as soon as he is back. I suppose that is message enough, right? I would talk to Lina about it, but she has her own stuff going on and S’anhu…well, S’anhu has more important things to focus on.
Before I returned to the ship, I stopped by to see Relan. He simply held me in his arms as I cried…I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it. I remember him simply rubbing my back and patting my head. Told me life was never easy or simple. It’s funny how we all used to gather at the wayward point and I felt like things were good. So much has happened, it feels fractured. It’s amazing how lonely one can feel…even while in a group.
