Aftermath
And here I hoped I could get in a couple of good, quiet weeks before getting into any scuffles with past adversaries. I hope the newcomers from alternate time periods haven't gotten the impression that I'm an instigator, after witnessing my battle with Yuber. I would like nothing more than peace and quiet, but somehow, the temptation was impossible to resist. I suggested that the thirst to clash swords with the demon came from the True Lightning rune, and I'm beginning to think I was right. I may have goaded him, but in the end, he drew on me first, and I chose to match his swords rather than calm the situation and withdraw. I have this sinking feeling that it may not be the last time, either.
What I have learned, aside from "don't goad Yuber" and "don't ask Nanami to use her water rune," is that I'm a little rusty. A short fight like that shouldn't have winded me as much as it did, and I shouldn't have been taken off guard and forced to use the Rune. It seems that I haven't been challenged enough by any of the wild creatures and petty criminals I've faced since the end of the war, my skills are lacking. Perhaps I ought to take up that swordsman, Belcoot, on his offer to spar. Or any of the other fighters - I've now met several from the Island Nations, and Falena, who seem like they could give me a good workout.
...and I'm vaguely tempted to challenge that pirate, Hervey, to a drinking contest. Just to see if I've still got it. I don't know. Maybe it's the teasing I got from Queen. That whole "Geddy-bear" thing is exasperating. It makes me want to recapture my vastly-squandered youth or something.
At the very least, I've come to the conclusion that I ought not to let Yuber out of my sight. I'm not entirely sure about Luc, either, but he seems to want to keep to himself, and aside from verbal sniping, isn't interested in conflict. The demon, though...I don't trust him. Whatever else I get into around the castle, either helping Thomas keep some order or sequestering myself in my room, I must keep my guard up and be wary of Yuber. He may or may not be planning something, but he has a point. There could be more to the random, diverse appearances of people here, the gathering of powers, minds, and memories, than mere coincidence. If he is right about that, then I'd best brush up on my sword technique.
