The young elf leaned his head back against the cushions, watching the violet-skinned girl dry her hair. With those fragile wrists and tiny fingers, her small body curving forward, the delicate shapes of her spine and shoulderblades showing through the thin cloth of her undershirt, she was roughly scrubbing her head and horns without a hint of elegance or grace. She lowered the cloth and tossed her wet hair, sneezed, and smeared her nose against her arm; then she blinked as the boy began to laugh at her.

He restrained his chuckling and shook his head, a characteristic awkward smile twisting his lips, and waved apologetically at the glaring girl. "You are cute," he said, truthfully.

Every day I am happy that Astrolabe is near to me to help me and to teach me patiently.

Some days ago Astrolabe returned from Darnassus. She met various people in that city, but she did not manage to find a master warrior to train her. She did not want to go to Stormwind or the Exodar, and though I said she could go to Ironforge, she said that she was tired and tired of the distance from me, so she came home.

Our father told me that perhaps she should not wander everywhere looking for a teacher who knows of the Light but will not mistake her for a paladin when her husband is here in Shattrath and serves the Shattered Sun with the Light and a sword. He discussed it with our mother and with Astrolabe and they both agreed, they want me to be her teacher before any other man or woman.

Astrolabe,

Last night was very strange. Our mother and I were both tired so we did not cook but went to eat at the World's End. But our mother did not sit with me and drank at the bar. I was confused. Did she want me to drink with her, or was she thinking alone? I was confused so I did not join her.

Then Jelleneth came in and she was very drunk. After I Cleansed her she explained her problem, that there are two men who want to be her husband and she does not know which one to marry. And I was a little angry to hear about it, Astrolabe.

Current Mood: annoyed

I have been thinking for a long time, and now I am quite sure: I was too harsh with the boy.

Astrolabe is off to Azeroth to look for someone to train her in arms. She promised me that she would not stray out of the capital cities of the Alliance so I am at least not worried about her trying to make friends with strange blood elves. But she refused to go to the Exodar, and I am a little nervous about her mingling with the foreign nations. I think that with his money I may be able to afford at least a short break from work to accompany her.

I need a cloak. A really big cloak. Although, I wonder if they will really treat me better as a hideous old hunchback than a Broken?

Current Mood: gloomy

Lately I have been thinking about souls. I have also been thinking that I shouldn't be thinking about souls because I still have not finished thinking about the Light for the first draft of my essay. There is only one section left for me to write. Maybe that is why I do not want to write it. I am afraid -- actually, not afraid, more embarrassed, as I feel myself blushing even just writing this -- I am embarrassed to firmly state, "this is indeed what I believe the Light is," I guess because the firmness of my belief does not actually exist and really I am very ignorant and extremely confused.

But I ought to finish it so that I can begin to translate it. I am very worried about Astrolabe, I have never seen her have a sad mood that lasted this long. If we become busy writing and translating, maybe she will become enthusiastic and laugh with excitement again. I cannot give my body for her consumption to please her, but I can give my words for her critique and please her?

Then I will show it to Helaah. Abelar told me that he and Helaah used to write each other letters about the Light and ethics before their marriage. I would really like her to criticize and help me.

But I'm a little bit extremely terrified.

I guess I better get to work.

Seol,

I did not learn a thing today.

Terokkar is pretty and dangerful. Mother of I is cold, but loves very much and does hard things to make child of she happy. Father of I is flake-ful and kind. Paladins are bad. Tiddia is not bad, inside. I am not a pretty woman who wears a dress. I felt windy and weird. Astrolabe is to wear pants, I think.

Seol is a pretty man of I love all of he. I love you. I am at the side of you. I stay and follow and we are married.

Everything is old. I did not learn a thing today.

Current Mood: sleepy

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.

Dear Helaah,

Can you recall the happiest day of your life? Was it when we first met in the spring so long ago, separated by so many flasks and reagents that served as a catalyst for our love? Was it when you took my hand into your own and we walked those fateful steps before proclaiming ourselves as man and wife before the Light and all of Draenor?

Or was it when you first saw a baby girl staring at you from the safe refuge of your arms, far too fearless to even cry as she had emerged into a world unlike any she had experienced? I remember Astro's serene gurgle as her chubby hands stretched out to your face, seeming to reassure you as if she said, "Do not be afraid -- I love you."

Because wranet often has these really interesting threads addressing themes, but I am too much of a coward to post my own character ramblings in public there, I think I am going to start a little recurring feature on this blog, a "daily ramble upon a theme," if you will. We'll start with one that comes from wranet, gender and sexuality.

Oh, gender. ( Read more... )

Dear Astrolabe,

... I find that the beginning of this letter escapes me. I have crafted several drafts and taken many walks to consolidate my thoughts, but I am unable to find the words that would appropriately console both of us in this difficult time. Forgive me for my thoughtless pen and inelegant mind. I am afraid that since I last saw you, I have been a shadow of my former self, unable to even eat or sleep properly. Since you were a child I have seen you everyday, a great comfort for one with such a weak emotional constitution, and for you to be gone so suddenly is...

Vindicator Aesom,

I write to you on behalf of my daughter, who is being trained in the ways of the Light by the Aldor. I understand that the people of the Exodar are still troubled by blood elves to the north; if you have a shortage of personnel, I would be honored if you would consider my child for an apprenticeship to one of your paladins.

Astrolabe is not yet a hundred, and as her body is still weak, I am not sure how useful she would be as a soldier; however, she has a talent with the Light, and her teachers believe she has potential as a healer. I have enclosed a letter from Anchorite Nindumen regarding her training thus far.

Current Mood: guilty

The mixing bowls at the Aldor Rise inn were very big and very shiny. Astrolabe marveled at her distorted expression; tilting it this way, her forehead shrank and her mouth widened terrifyingly. She looked quite a bit like Helaah. Laughing, she lifted up the bowl and turned it around, showing Helaah the kitchen; was it the way she remembered?

Astro was sure, at least, that when her mother had been an Aldor priestess there had never been anyone here so pale and pink-skinned as that man; she captured his reflection in the bowl to show Helaah, the blurry figure of a dark-haired elf holding out a hand to her, asking smilingly, "That?"
