Poe's Journal Entry
Everything has come undone…I had to tell Ryillin…the pain on his face. I swore to him I never meant to hurt him. And there was no way he would accept my apology…my comfort, no matter how many times I pleaded and told him I would have told him at the party but I didn’t want to ruin it. Then he sent me…away.The message was clear enough….and I can only accept and respect his wishes to not see me. Seems that is now the theme in my life, leave others alone. Lan-I-Mata was pushing for me to take a day or two to myself. I refused, throwing myself into my work harder. If there is any silver lining, meetings with the Touched have improved….at least they show up now.
After my visit deep into the Shroud today, Lan-I-Mata followed me back to the Sanctum. She huffed and puffed, stated she should send me on another journey to get my head on straight. Then she seemed to have a bright idea…said I needed to work through the pain and not avoid it. She took my pearls for safe keeping, packed my bag and sent me on my way. Told me to come back no sooner than five days from now…. I knew where she was sending me…I don’t feel like going there, even if it is quiet…
