Tarnsman on Water

Well, journal here I am again, heading out to the middle of the thassa. I think the best thing about this whole trip is the excitement seen in the eyes of my children. The twins are with sondra a new nanny I acquired for them. There is just no way I was gonna bring the babies on board. Breanna along with dasha and the girls retreated down below deck as Caleb and Caden roamed every hort of the deck, and every crate and helped with the release of the moorings with the crewman.

Trenton and ayana came on board for a bit before we set sail. Remind me to never toss a cork at him, it never fares well for the En but hey, at least I can, I havent seen anyone cojole with my Ubar like I do. So let's just say, Im the pioneer of bravery and it was worth hanging upside down the side of the my own ship. Maybe I should toss more things at him so I can see where I end up next time....hmmm, I cant wait til the brothers of Lydius make him swim at the tournament. Odin I love my city!

Aspen has agreed to come along. I have longed for her to be by my side for some time now, I didnt know it at the time but since before my first break up with Callie...it seems so long ago. I remember being drawn to her when she first arrived in Lydius, even thinking that Dante was her interest. I put it out of my mind. Then when she tossed the first pouch of chocolate balls to me in the Ubars Study, I remember thinking that they were the color of her eyes and that I had a pouch full of them to remind of her. Then the contest, how if she had named a winner for the naming of the chocolate balls, my name was her choice. We shared meals, she helped me laugh when I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide away. I felt her more then. But now, I have to admit, perhaps our admiration for each other isnt as strong as I thought. I felt her put up a barrier between us last night and today she was just as distant if not more Perhaps I just need to concentrate on my children and forget all this nonsense so I will wrap this entry up and head down below deck to tuck my tired children in.
