*Sitting in the tree by the lake outside Fort Hempstead, munching on apples and drinking from one of his canteens*
I haven't talked to much of anyone lately. I had a nice conversation with Miss Melissa. Miss Lavender was there earlier but left. Miss Melissa talked about having to speak to Miss Amanda about something and being interupted by someone she hasn't seen in a long time. I was naturally curious, so I asked her indirectly who it was. She said it was "Tobias" who acts as if he's dangerous but she doesn't think he has it in heart to do anything serious. I don't think that as a weakness, I also do not have the heart to even
act mean. She couldn't imagin me being mean either. She soon asked if she could ask me a personal question. I was thinking,
"Oh boy..." I was worried she would ask a really personal question. I said she could and thta I didn't have much to hide... I really do I guess. She asked if it was hard being short. *leans back agianst the tree trunk, laughing* I was happy that's all she asked. She asked if it was hard to do anything besides reaching up onto counters. That's not really a personal question since I've accepted that I'm short, and people are fine with it. I don't think I would be Tod if I wasn't short.
I said that it is sometimes with people thinking they can take advantage of you but they don't think about hidden blades or myself hiding in their shadow, fading away right in front of their eyes. Another thing I mentioned was people thinking that I'm "cute" rather than handsome. She said that's a good thing... I guess it is but it's sometimes hard to have any woman look at me seriously... it probably doesn't matter since I'd run away? I don't know, I guess cute isn't bad. She said the handsome and cute sometimes come in a package, and when it does that, then it's a good thing. When will I get that package?
I had to leave for a moment, and came back to Miss Lavender talking to Miss Melissa agian. Miss Lavender had a club out with big spikes and I asked why she used it. She said she uses it because she likes to break things... does she really like to crush skulls with it? But it turns out she prefers to use the mace on skeletons instead of stabbing... it makes a bunch of sense. Miss Melissa said she prefers to miss them all together. She said she didn't have anything that would work agianst skeletons and Miss Lavender said why not a stick? She replied that sticks are heavy or something that that sparked something in Miss Lavender to mess around with her about her not being able to carry much. I asked if Miss Melissa had bags, she replied that she did but full of clothes. Well, I couldn't use a stick much either. Miss Lavender pulled out this nice walking stick and told me to stand up. She handed it to me to try out and I looekd up to her, making she wasn't looking and I whacked her leg as hard as I could. I mean, it was a good whack, but it just glanced off her armor. She pulled it away from me and bopped me right on the head. It stung a little of course, didn't hurt
too bad. I said that I wasn't
that hardheaded and she told me to stop whining... I wasn't whining! I rubbed my head, hoping that rubbing it hard would stop the sting. Then Miss Lavender started on Miss Melissa about her clothes and then starts getting sarcastic about not stubbing her toe when Miss Melissa went to leave... I don't know why Miss Lavender was being like this, it wasn't like her really.
*rereads back on his writing and sighs as he barely catches any of the conversation but continues anyway*
I then talked to Miss Lavender about wearing dresses or even pants to show her hips somewhat and just a silk tunic... is that modest enough? I mean, you can't hide youself behind armor and not give a chance for guys to look at you when you're behind a mask. But she said she didn't need my help. Which is fine, I just wanted to be nice and give her some clothes, maybe get her to take her mask off. She took the outer shell of the mask off (yes she had shells of the mask in case one fell off?). She lead me back farther away from the pond and told me why I couldn't walk like everyone else. I told her that I'm just used to walking like that when I don't want someone to follow me and it's a habit. She just rolled her eyes and looked down on me. She sighed and took her armor off to reveal her regular clothes and begins to undo her mask even more. It came off completely it was hard to believe she'd hide her pretty eyes behind goggles. I don't know, I just have something for pretty eyes? *shrugs without thinking about it* But she had bright purple eyes... not like Keppli's but pretty anyway. She asked if I knew who she was and I said I didn't. Was she Miss Lavender like she said she was? She just rolled her eyes once more, and she said she was Tyra, Tyra Dragonheart, daughter of Shiff Dragonheart. I was surprised, really surprised! I knew he had kids but not any as old as Miss Tyra. We just talked brielfy about how Missus Valmara was faring and I asked her if Shiff told her about him and I would try to crush each other's head in a handshake. She has a strong grip, *flexes his hand* like Shiff's. I told her he'd let me try once more and I squeezed as hard as I could. I guess it's not hard enough.. she barely did anything more than a slight frown. She said she had to go and I was told not to tell anyone... so I won't. But she should try a dress on once or twice, she may look really nice.
That's all I have, sadly it doesn't have much detail. I'm glad only I can see my journal.
