I have decided I need new clothes. I can't just keep charming this tunic clean. Perhaps I should explore the 'newager' fashion at last, though under protest, you understand. What is appropriate for a man of my age?
Father, Helga, Rowena, Godric
How are you all? I apologise for my reclusive nature of late. I am afraid Helena's departure disappointed me more than I might have expected. I only hope I need not wait another four years before I see her again. |

I dread the answer, but has anyone seen Helena? She is no longer at her place of residence.
Private
What exactly am I supposed to do now? |

The events of recent days have turned my life on its side. Although perhaps that is inaccurate... in truth it seems to have swollen... intensified a thousandfold. I have always been nervous of approaching my father and perhaps I have always been in love with Helena... but if these things have ever been true of me, now they are true in every way.
For England's pastures and her forests have I high regard
For I have seen a hundred beauties which she deign to show
But never have I loved as I do now, no earthly bard
Has sung of love like mine for Helena, I mote it so.
/Private
At least there seems no shortage of mice and small frogs. I would be twice as incensed at the situation if Lilith was forced to suffer as well.
I fear my large stack of firewood will be of little aid to those in need, but it is there. |

Father,
I would like
I know you probably do not wish to hear from me, but I feel it is safer for both of us than appearing on your doorstep.
I am sorry. I know of course that I was wrong to strike you, and I let my temper get the best of me. I am truly ashamed of my behaviour. I beg you to forgive me, and I will repeat it on bended knee if you deem it necessary.
I hope you know
I am even more sorry that the mongrels who call themselves watchmen in this town took it upon themselves to imprison you for reprimanding me, as is your right. If you are still in their hands I will of course make it my endeavour to have you released.
Your son,
Samson.

Private to Helena Ravenclaw
I wrote to him. I didn't apologise for what I said, but I should never have struck him and I let him know so. I only hope he doesn't still try to disown me after this. |

I have been exploring the wonder known as the 'bookshop'. I am no great scholar, but I have been feeling my activity rather limited lately. I find it most interesting. It is not usual, where I am from, to be able to purchase a book. They are things of great value and are coveted by those who own them. And of course there are very few people with the skill to interpret them.
The handwriting in these books is very uniform and precise. I suspect some kind of spell to be behind it, for surely no scribe has such perfect lettering.
Lilith has finished shedding and has become much more agreeable, although she is not sleeping nearly enough, this winter. I have told her that she is much too dependant, but she has always been extremely strong-willed.
I believe I shall drill this afternoon. |

It seems that once again I am no longer alone in the house.
Welcome, sir. Please help yourself to firewood. And be careful where you step, my snake is shedding at the moment and she is rather irritable. |

I should like to remind all town-dwellers that there is a sizable pile of timber at the north edge of the forest for any who should like to keep their fire well-stoked this winter. |

I have no particular interest in with whom I am forced to stay, although it will be a welcome reprieve from the smell of goats. |

It occurs to me that I have not made much aquaintance here.
Helena
My father and I had a row. I know not what to do. |

I fear that were I to continue to do my task adequately, there would be a rather large excess of timber which will no doubt eventually get wet or rot. It seems a waste. I suppose I had better find something else to occupy my time. Lilith is just as restless and has taken to wandering off in the night, but I have asked her not to go after any cats or dogs, as people seem to prize them quite highly here. |

Is there anywhere around here big enough to do sword drills, perchance? I see no reason to become out of practice because I am stuck here. |

Farbeit from me to make such rude introduction, but I will say now that that vile sorceress has some nerve. Since it was clearly her intention to announce me here regardless, could she not forsooth have waited until I were not on horseback? I will admit as readily as any man that I have fallen from the saddle on rare occasion, but never has the steed vanished from beneath me as though it were never there at all. I had not thought it possible for knees and head to impact simultaneously. My helmet is dented, my ears ringing and my vision addled. So kindly forgive any confusion of writing or shaking of hand.
Thankfully, Lilith is still with me, even if the horse did not merit similar treatment, and she is well. If she had been hurt, I would have taken blade to this Skeeter creature, never mind how distateful such an act might be seen in the eyes of others. Justice must occasionally be served in spite of impropriety.
This place is strange, and smells oddly of goats. |
