I really need to remember that I have a journal for my private thoughts and a journal to speak to other people with. Unfortunately, both ended up soaked today. It isn't that I am terribly worried (drying them by the fire will help, but I really just need to get new ones), but it's still inconvenient. Parchment is expensive, and the resilient kind will make a person hemorrhage gold!
Naturally, I am loathe to ask my benefactor for help. I've survived this long, haven't I? I'll survive a little longer. But paper is so expensive. Kinase seems to be doing well, and I'm very appreciative of that, it means the world to me to have someone that can speak my "language", even though he's still learning. I really have to hand it to him for taking the time to learn it, and basically for my sake (well, maybe for his, sometimes I forget to use my books).
Recently, I've been talking more and more to Exarch Archaeduun. He's kind and sensible, so it's easy to see why he's an Exarch. I can only imagine what kind of work it takes to advance from Vindicator to Exarch. I'm not very sure I'm up to it, though, despite what I think may be his high hopes for me.
I mean, I think I am. But... sometimes I wonder. Can a person who cannot speak lead those under her? I learned just the other evening that it is, at best, arduous if not entirely impossible. I know I won't always have someone to translate my seemingly wild gestures, so I must think of another way.
Ways that do not involve creepy night elves who claim they can speak the language of my people and then do so nasally and thickly while promising to fix my condition. It's almost as bad as the people who speak [CENSORED] in Stormwind. Disgusting.
How did they learn it, anyway? How? What demon would teach them?
I see I'm starting to think in circles again, so I suppose it's time to sleep properly.
