We had some nice storms over the past few days. They put me at peace as much as a month of vacation did. True Lightning is assuaged as well, but it's been prickly lately. Ever since coming home and finding Luc here.

Kyle and Bernadette have married. It was nauseatingly sweet. I wish them all the happiness in the world, though. Funny, how things worked out...how Sigurd's decision has somehow brought about the best for all of us, all four. And he was worried. Hm.

Still, I feel restless. Unsettled. It isn't a desire to roam, but I can't put my finger on what it is. It might just be the Rune, trying to influence me. Thunder quiets me for only a little while, and then it's nagging at the back of my mind again. I don't understand it.

That, and I'm tired. There are rumblings about Harmonia, about runes, and such, but I'm just so tired of dealing with it. I want to live my life and not have to look over my shoulder all the time. But Sasarai let on that he knew - a month after I submitted my resignation - that I had left. Now he's here where he can keep an eye on me. None of it feels right.

I hope Sigurd doesn't mind if I sneak out and take a walk. The night air is refreshing, after the storms.

Who: trueltning_fury and zexen_knight
When: the evening, after Apple returned and before Chris and Percival left
Where: the tavern
What: Runebearers talking about current events, and runes

( Yes, this is going to get ugly. )

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.
