Day 12


So, today was fun day. I meet new friend, Heather. She dress very much like us ferii luuvatii. That is, she doesn’t wear much of anything. For us, garment reserve for kruum and kraam. Johavarin also would wear garment, but this was not to offend the domicii he traded with, as they seem to prefer people to wear them.

Johavarin say she is to be a “squire” for Alakath. This is not a known thing to me. Johavarin say it like chelata, only not forced, and people treat squire with respect. Alakath say same thing. So it not like chelata then. We don’t have word for this. Domicii are strange.

I think Heather think I’m strange as well. I ask why is she so big, and she just laugh and say that’s how she is. She is way bigger than me, but not fatty, aside from her breasts and buttocks, and then, those look firm and fit like the rest of her. I ask what about her lets her be that way, she just say it’s her genetics? I ask her what that is, and she say it’s what what makes us what we are. I ask Johavarin tomorrow about this.

Alakath go to bed early tonight. I first thought it was just because he didn’t sleep much the previous couple of days, but Heather say he has something going on tomorrow. That something he say I need to stay out of. I ask Heather what it is, but she wouldn’t tell me. She say that I better off not knowing.

I understand they don’t want me to worry, but keeping things from me like this just make me worry anyway. Maybe I worry less this way? I do not think so, but I cannot force them to tell me, either. I guess I will worry no matter what.

Gladia and Johavarin just got back a few minutes ago. Gladia seem more sad than usual. I think the book may have said something that she doesn’t like. Or maybe she just misses her brother more for whatever reason. I go to cheer her somehow. Maybe Heather know a way...
