Spent all fucking night with Thandi. She does not have a cloooooo

Fell asleep.

Making this entry as I wake. Ended up sleeping longer than usual. Solid six hours at least. Yesterday was eventful.

Firstly, Vitani. I believe she was pissed to begin with when I arrived. Awkward and moody woman. I tried to reason out that her teaching was lacking in guidance for Thandi and put her in a bad spot. Seems I wasn’t the only one to complain.

V spoke of removing Thandi from her post here. 

I do not wish for Thandi to be removed.

I spoke to Thandi at length (all night) and admittedly I rather think she would do well in Alleria as a whole. The poor thing does not have stars in her realm. No stars! How does one sleep at night without stars?

What the fuck?

After that we spoke further… She agreed to give me additional lessons while V procures an alchemist to teach me further brews. Thandi admits that V is slow on things (of course) and it will likely take some time.

And then we spoke further.

Thandi finished her new hairstyle. She baked me chocolate scones (shockingly good?). We spoke at length about evolution and magical creatures and stars and… everything. I lost track of time. 

I did not leave her room until she started stumbling over her words and we were both vetting quite tired. She has no.clock in her damned room. So many things in there and yet no.clock.

She was deliriously sleepy and yet somehow joyful. And of course S came out of his room to see her meowing at me like a cat while we were trying yet again to part. I think I said something I may come to regret.

So I believe I may have a new so-called “best” friend. Dean never was able to hold conversations like that with me before. I liked it. I think Thandi is… fun.

I will be returning for my lessons frequently. I do plan on making use of my watch now, though.

Had a chat with C today. They took me out. Ate these street crepes… Boyoman good I can’t recall the name of. Am now their personal doctor. 

Productive conversation. Trying to talk to them. Ending up talking about myself. Need to work on that. It turns out that C is more than just reasonable. I think they’re quite good, actually. Honest and straightforward. 

Worked afterwards. The system of favors is interesting. I am wondering if I can earn a proper place here to live instead of the Center.

Running strong since 2018! That’s five years of his existence. This year he’s getting a new start in a new game and getting to do things like make friends and read a shitload of books.

I bought a cake to celebrate.

E had requested reading lessons. Did not expect her to follow up.

She thanked me profusely and gave me bookmarks. They’re very artful.

Her ability to read and write basic common is about the same as Labor. It seems a common desire in the Haven is to read and write Common standard. Provided books and showed her where to get further studies.

Spoke at length about other things.

She seems a naïve girl but overall is unexpectedly sincere. Suspect she must have a similar approach to people as I. That said, she is far better at interpersonal relations. Romance between her and N¹. Can’t say unexpected in that regard.

Fascinating conversation.

Work has been going well.

Note to self: review interpersonal section of library.

post session 6

“Exam day”.

Piss off

Bullshit

T will always find a way to fuck us over without meaning to. She put our first “test” in the hands of some assholes and did not accompany us. What kind of teacher simply steps away and becomes a stupid little box to spectate upon?

If I introduced her to Mother as a teacher she would learn leagues!

The tower itself was wretched. Puzzles that tempted N² into ridiculous antics. S getting dragged about. C… well, I find C agreeable. Strange.

What is C’s angle?

Small dog woman with speech impediment at top of tower. Or was it the top? Stairs were not featured.

Celebratory “drink” with everyone after. They invited me out. S and N¹ made me tea. Brewed them well. I do miss Josiah’s brew.

It was fine.

To do: 

□ Speak to T about her teacher.

□ Find out why C is being kind.

□ E requested reading lessons

□ Work

We’re using the SCM variation of Chandi for this one.
