Daily Thoughts

So much has happened in the expanse of a hand. There be a larl out eyeing the kaiila a few hands back and this hand the men spotted and killed it. It turned out being a pregnant female larl and out of the 4 cubs, 2 survived. I be overlooking the care of the tiny creatures. Be having ta make a decision about keeping them or releasing them tae the dangers of the wild where they for sure be killed with the smell of man on them. I have left instruction for the men ta build a pen large enough ta house the creatures and I been overseeing the care and rearing of them. Trenton tells me they be no creatures ta be thinking they be tamed. Perhaps nae tame but I think they can be mastered somewhat just as a tarn. Me Ubar tells me they be much more powerful than tarns. I know little of the larl and its habits but I have a feeling I be learning soon enough. Kory be already naming them - tem and tor...for they come from the forest.

ember be back at the hall and she be trying very hard at keeping herself in me good graces. She be a sweet girl. I had left her stewing in her humiliation and when I went back for her at the kennel, she be one forlorn looking little girl. Only did she get color back inta her skin when I told her ta keep me warm her first night back. I will nae tell her directly but I sorely missed her, me ember has certainly become part of me everyday affairs and molds easily. scarlet on the other hand, seems ta need a bit more of a firm hand. I released her from me couch and she seemed ta be better. Doing her chores with that distant look ta her but at least now she perks when I walk in ta the room...it be a start. She seemed ta come ta life after her discipline. But just like the animals I have broken in, I be finding that breaking point and she will submit willingly everything ta me. As I be sitting here by the firepit, I watch them both sleeping, curled up each one in their own furs and cant help but feel, even though they keep me company...alone.

Then there be Kory. I been so busy this past hand that soon I be surely challenged for the most coveted ring. Been nearly almost a hand that I won the ring back from me brother. Seems us 2 be the only ones challenging each other though and spending quite a bit of time together. Perhaps it be the winter solstice, most people tend ta spend it with their families. Well, Kory and me brothers be the only family I have as of yet and I do nae think there be anything I wouldnt do for them, Kory especially and vice versa, we be truly blood brothers and I can nae help in getting a sense of comfort in knowing he has me back.

Well I be supposing I be turning in...tarn flights come very early.
