The man who steals food because he is dying of hunger.

The man who commits treason in order to save the monarch's life.

The man who holds no special rank, upon whom no dependents rely, who does no great work for the world, who kills an attacker bent on his life.

The madman who, blind with illusions, kills out of fear and horror.

Current Mood: grumpy

Maybe I overdid it. In any case, after the last letter, I think things will get better. I will not give up.

But I am still feeling a bit cranky so I came down here to rest a little bit before I go back to the apartment. Because although I want to make her understand I do not want to hurt her by coming home with a tearful face or to say something selfish and upsetting because I wasn't thinking calmly. And I cannot go home to Astrolabe for this purpose because if I tell her about this incident I think she will just get angrier with Tiddia and probably get angry at me too.

And while I was lying down here and thinking about the letters I think I figured something out that I need to write down before I forget.

The reason that I cried so much when I met A'dal and the other naaru in Shattrath for the first time.

It was not because being near to the naaru makes me feel the pangs of the Light in my chest, the sorrow and suffering of the Light - that is the reason I still cry and the reason I feel so much pain near them.

But the reason that I cried so much the first time, which I did not understand very well at the moment, was, I think...

that the naaru saw my pain and looked at me and said, "we feel it, too."

and then Astrolabe came to me and felt it, too...

Well, nevermind.

It turns out Tiddia never believed in my love at all.

Astrolabe,

Now I will write down the things that happened in Silvermoon because I have calmed down. ~~But by the Light you have strange ideas of what is humorous~~

My sister went on a trip. I am not as worried as Pietro is. When Jia began to go on outings with Galenos I was very worried, but actually he is very intelligent and good with a bow and Jia is as safe traveling with him as she is traveling with any Farstrider. And Jia is not just a good mage, but she is very sensible and does not do silly things. She will stay by the roads and travel in a group and go from Horde post to Horde post. In that way she really is a lot smarter than her brother who goes to try to make friends with the Alliance every few months.

Current Mood: better

By the Light

I am glad that Tiddia does not actually hate me and says she will try to be kinder to me and maybe she does indeed accept my love. And she listened to me explain the problem with the peace of the Scourge and she hopefully heard me and it is all good but

By the Light.

By the Light.

~~If I really had to I would do it~~

But I think that Astrolabe must have misunderstood Tiddia's Common. Right?

Pietro 7 ← Seol 45 → Astrolabe 25

Current Mood: traumatized for life

I did not die. I was saved by the very kind Lady Elayia, for whom I must write harder, and the not-a-paladin Kriegus, and by Ruepert who took considerable risks for my sake, and by Tiddia.

Tiddia came to look for me. She did not go to the necromancers. She came back to the Cathedral to look for me because I was late. I am so happy that she did not go to the necromancers. I am so happy for her soul.

But I think that it is like I thought, and that Tiddia does not want anything to do with me anymore.

No matter how hard I try, what I do, as sincere as I try to be

Current Mood: depressed

Astrolabe,

I made a mistake. I was very tired while studying and I fell asleep. And now I woke up and the draenei potion has stopped working, and I am here in the basement of the Cathedral of Stormwind with my long ears and green eyes and no armor at all.

I am afraid I am going to die.

And I must make a confession to you if I am going to die.

Current Mood: guilty

Astrolabe,

I feel as if I am always holding onto Tiddia just barely and then losing her again.

At the Pig, which Tiddia used to like, we met a strange and friendly draenei paladin-not-a-paladin, which pleased you a lot. You made something like hot chocolate for us and it was very tasty. But then there were scary drunk people and we left to go to the Slaughtered Lamb, which has a very morbid name.

That was the place that things began to get bad again. After you went home.

It is very, very different.

I think I understand some things better now.

Seol 39 ← Seol 40 → Seol 41

Current Mood: fascinated

Astrolabe,

I am starting to feel excited, even though I told myself not to feel this way because it is dangerous. If something goes wrong, Tiddia can maybe say that she is not of the Forsaken and is really a returning Ebon Blade of the Alliance. But I am a blood elf and a Blood Knight and if I get caught again, it may be bad.

And yet I am excited. For at least a few hours I can walk into the Cathedral at ease. I can breathe in the old theology books and sigh as loudly as I want. And I will get to learn about things with you. I hope.

Tiddia is also acting happy and so I am happy.

I guess it was this friend whom she needed all along. No matter what I did for her, I was not able to give her the love and hope she needed to be happy again. I suppose I feel a little jealous and a little sorry for myself. But I also feel so much happiness for her, lighter and better at the same time that I feel so heavy.

Perhaps she will no longer need me after this, and I will slowly disappear from her happy story.

Jiajia 2 ← Seol 39 → Seol 40

Current Mood: melancholy

Astrolabe,

I think that the important things all ended safely. "Coria" is safe, and her friend is being very good to both of us. I do not know yet if there will be a guest in our house again soon, or if there will be one in Jj's house, or none anywhere. But things will be all right, I think.

But we are going to try to get Coria her money from when she was alive. We must go to the city, and it may be a little dangerous. But we are going to try to use a transformation potion to enter quietly. Although I do not speak your language very well, I asked for a potion of your type. I think maybe I will learn more about you that way.

Would you like to come with us? The potion does not last a very, very long time, and "vigorous activity" might break the spell, but maybe it is a chance for you.

Your husband.

Current Mood: curious

These people.

I got teased for eating three pumpkins' worth of baked pumpkin last night. I don't think it's that strange; I'm 68 after all, I'm still going to be growing for a few decades. But Ms.(?) DeVroe and Tiddia ended up getting into an argument about the symptoms of intestinal parasites (ugh! ugh!) and then I was asked if elves defecate.

What the fel kind of question is that?

And then this morning when I was going out, I couldn't escape this feeling of being watched.

Help me, Light, and preserve me against scary human females.

Current Mood: embarrassed

Astrolabe,

I think things are all right.

I am very tired and I need to take a bath.

Good night, Astrolabe.

Astrolabe 22 ← Seol 36 → Seol 37

Current Mood: relieved

Appended to the end of his previous entry.

Tiddia did not come home last night.

She did not say where she went, and I do not think she has anywhere to visit, except for the place that she mentioned. So I am going to Redridge. Except I do not remember what her friend's address is so I have to stop by home first to see that letter that she sent us.

I know you will be angry that I am running to the lands of the Alliance again, but I am very afraid. And, I think I need to ask directly.

Pietro 5 ← Seol 35 → Astrolabe 22

Current Mood: worried

Astrolabe,

I think that Tiddia maybe just hates me.

I am very tired.

Seol 33 ← Seol 34 → Pietro 5

Current Mood: sad

Astrolabe,

The things that pass for theological discussion in the Horde are really pitiful. Some paladin thinks he is very intellectual to stand up and lecture us about how we should be "united" without any solutions for enmity of undead and holy users, etcetera. The conclusion is "do not fight your allies because it is bad" and everyone applauds this profound statement.

Yuck!

I would like to see the disputationes of my mother Chihra's generation revived. A sermon which forbids disagreement is a little bit sick. Fearfully, it closes up to ideas that might nourish it. And everyone must listen, even to a thing that, to his heart, is very wrong, with no chance to protect his truth.

Your people had disputations, too, I think? Being people of the intellectual and arcane way and the holy way, like high elves were. Do they still happen? Or maybe disagreement is sealed up in the Alliance like in the Horde because people are afraid.

I promise I will write the last section soon. But I am so sleepy tonight.

Pietro 4 ← Seol 33 → Seol 34

Current Mood: disappointed

Future Astrolabe and Seol, so that we do not forget,

It went as we planned it to go. Mother did not come so that the Aldor would not suspect. Father was almost late, but it was okay at the end. I think our words and ritual satisfied him because he often cried. And it satisfied me. I feel happy, and also like some tears might come out.

We then ate the cake, which was good. It was like doughnut in the shape of a cake. And Tiddia ate the sausage, and she said she was happy. I am very happy about it. And you, Astrolabe, are very relieved because of the hard work we did to make it.

Master Arimadios came, which did not please me. He shamed our father and Tiddia with an expensive gift, and then he took Jelleneth away. But though his actions are bad his intentions are not unkind, I ~~hope~~ think. I hope he thinks more of the feelings of others before he becomes the husband of Jelleneth, though.

Abelar gave us an instruction manual and Tiddia gave us a gun, to shoot suitors of our children, and a rock, for your hooves, and some enlarging potions for you. Which was strange ~~because I thought I am the one who needs~~

And now we are supposed to cook but we are sleepy so maybe we will just Consecrate some meat and go to sleep.

Seol 31 ← Seol 32 → Astrolabe 21

Current Mood: loved

Astrolabe,

I think it is seven hours before the sun rises. I will be sorry if I wake you up because I am writing this. But I cannot sleep. I think I am a little bit sick or scared from making the sausage still. Or maybe I am just scared.

The thing that is strange? We will not marry tomorrow. We are husband and wife more than three weeks now! But I still have nerves in my stomach. I think it is that nice clothes, special food, and a ritual and recitation give me something for my worrying to be about.

But, I did not finish the verses to recite. And I still do not know if I want incense or candles. It is not important, I know. It is only a little pretty picnic, and we only need to rest and to enjoy. But I want to make it right.

But I do not have to wake you. Already, I know you will say: "It is right because it is of Seol and Astrolabe, and that is all that is important."

Good night, Astrolabe.
