Went to sing at Pi celebration as Lapis suggested. It was awkward and I was going to leave, but Anton took a sequence so I stayed to listen since we were friends once. His voice did not change as much as mine did. I tried to match him but it sounded flat until I found a counterpoint we could toy with. I took a solo section for a time until someone touched my shoulder and I realized Elim was singing next to me to take over. Huh.
Weird to see Lapis as celebrant. Where is Pizarro?
Got wagon and ordered horses. I have not told them I am leaving yet. Went exploring the north tunnels looking for a way into the palisade with no luck, so we got some bottles and tapped the barrels at the Brunel cellar to take for stock.
Lapis interested in learning island combat techniques. Went through basic drills using maces that were balanced about the same as the war clubs, no sparring as our usual exercises. I swear he remembers more of what I did there than I did. He asked about my reasoning behind my organization, and even said he was impressed by what I had done with what resources were available. But. I was such an idiot. How the hell did I miss what was really going on?
All in all, it was a very grounding day. Head much clearer. Emerson positively whinging. Did I sound like that? No wonder Junie has been giving me that look lately. How does she put up with it from Emerson, he is much worse off than me.
So obvious now!
Plank Punch is for the customers, not personal consumption! Remember this lesson!!!!
Why isn’t It Father Lapis?
Wait…what look?
It’s a very disapproving level look, where you briefly, very briefly, resemble your aunt.
In a good way.
Yes, that one.
And not in a good way.
I just wish to state I have never seen that look.
OH MY GOD!
*locks herself in her room and stands in front of the mirror making faces*
Do I have a look? *looks*
