So, I was thinking about that party we've been planning for Joseph~~

I know we really should have had it sooner, but having a party right after the Night of the Dead celebrations wouldn't have been as great, right? So, I was thinking that the party could be on Friday night. I can send out all the formal invitations if everyone who's planning on going is okay with the date~~? ♥

[Filter: Joseph, in Atsirian]

So~~

I've volunteered to help Gideon prepare this little party, since he's been so terribly busy and all, and well, I have a question for you! ♥

Are there any particular dishes that you especially enjoy eating?

This is all so exciting, isn't it? ♥

There's just so much to do and you can just feel the excitment around the palace, or maybe it's just me, but still, it's such a wonderful feeling~! Mm~~ I wonder what they'll be perparing for the Festival dinner ...~

Oh, and of course, the gift exchange~

[Filter: Westa, in Atsirian]

Hi, Westa~~

I got the earrings that you sent me! They're so pretty~ thank you! ♥

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Hm~ it's so wonderful to see that Matthew and Edalene are getting along so well. Mother would be so happy that Edalene is so interested in him. There's no reason why she wouldn't be. And now that Matthew and Edalene are spending so much time together, it's given me a lot more time with Reeve. ♥

Oh~~ and Joseph is on his way to Razen, too, isn't he? There are so many things to look forward to, lately.

Mm ... and you know who I haven't really spent much time with, recently? Reiz. I should ask him if he wants to have some tea sometime. He's so silly, but that's what makes it so fun to talk to him~ ♥

[Atsirian]

Matthew's going to be leaving any day, now. Sigh~~

He did stay a lot longer than he was supposed to, but I'm really going to miss him.

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

I'm just ... really glad I decided not to watch what happened. I know it was unprofessional of me as a council member, but I just couldn't stand there and watch someone burn alive like that. Mother's probably going to be disappointed in me for not wanting to go, too.

I can tell that people are trying not to talk about it, but you can it see how much it's been bothering some of them. Ohh, I don't know ... it's just ...

How great can this religion be, if they're going to do something so horrible to a person? No matter what he may have done ... to make him suffer like that in front of all those people. I don't know.

I just ... want to think of something positive, and happy ... like the party coming up!

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Well, I just don't know what to make of any of this. Of course, if that man killed someone, then it makes sense what his punishment should be ... but I don't like what they're going to do to him very much at all.

It just really seems like a horrible way to ... well ...

I shouldn't think about it, but I just can't -- ooh, I'll just stay away from all that. Far away from it ...

After all that's over with, the Prophet is leaving, too ... and I still haven't really made up my mind about what I think about the Goddesses at all. I mean, it's really just strange, isn't it? They just appeared and then became so popular so fast. Maybe I should talk to someone about it ... hmm~~

[Filter: Reeve]

I have a question.

Are you busy? ♥

[Filter: Private ; in Atsirian]

Ooh~~

I wonder if they actually did it or not ... that's just so weird! I didn't think she liked him that much at all. Everytime I ask him about it, he just blushes and starts changing the subject. That probably means they did do it, but I really can't just assume things, right?

I'm so curious, though. ♥

[Filter: Edalene]

So~~

How did everything go wth my brother? I've tried asking him myself, but he's just being so boring about it.

[Filter: Private; in Atsirian]

Oh, she really is just amazing!

Just her being here is making everyone act so different. Matthew's so fascinated by everything, too! But I don't really know what to think about the Goddesses and everything ... hm~~

There's just too many things to think about. I need to at least try to do my part as a councilor and get into all this political business, especially with Matthew here ... and mother says I have to start courting. But I'm sure Matthew will just tell her that I already have someone in mind~ ♥

I don't know~~ I guess we'll just have to see how things turn out, right?

[Filter: Public; in Atsirian]

Oh, it looks like today is our day for lunch or dinner together, Edalene~~

Are we still doing everything like usual even though the Prophet is here?

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Hm~~

Of course that's why you've sent Matthew all the way to Razen, mother. Sigh~~

You knew that he and I got along the best so I'd listen to him ... well, I know that I need to start courting and get married soon, but did you really need to send him all the way over here?

I'm also really trying to learn everything I can as a part of the council, just like you said. But it's so boring and I just don't understand everything like I should.

Besides~~ I'm going to marry Reeve, so you don't need to worry about a thing! ♥

[Filter: Reeve]

Reeve~~

[Atsirian]

Ooh~~

I think they just said that Matthew's arrived! I wonder how long he's going to stay. I was just about to go out riding, too ...

Hm~~ maybe I should just go anyway~

But then he'll probably be too tired from the travel to go with me ...

[Atsirian]

Hm~~

What can I do to make today extra special? ♥

Well, one thing for sure. I hope my favorite people will make some time for me~

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Hm~~

This month just flew by, didn't it? I can't believe it's already the Moon Festival. And my dinner with Edalene is in just three days. ♥

I've only been able to catch her once for tea. She really is so much busier these days, isn't she? I should probably try to pay more attention to all the politics and stuff more, too ... it's expected of me, and mother would like it. But I just really don't --

I wonder when Matthew is going to be coming ... hm~~ maybe after the Moon Festival.

[Filter: Public, in Trade]

Mm~~

These moon dumplings would go great with some jasmine tea. ♥

Which types of dumplings do you like the best?

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Hm ...~~

It was a nice surprise, at the very least. I guess I really don't write home as often as I should, do I? I wonder why mother is sending Matthew here, though.

It would be so nice to see him again, but I hope she isn't worried about me or anything.

[Filter: Public, in Atsirian]

Does anyone want to join me for some tea~~?

[Atsirian]

Reeve~~

How did you like your day late Rose Day meal? ♥

[Filter: Private, in Atsirian]

Oooh~ I wonder if anyone else noticed what Reeve is wearing today~!

Well, I think that this outfit in particular brings out all of his best features~~

[Filter: Public, in Trade]

Don't you just love sipping tea while looking at a very pleasant sight? ♥

[ Filter: Private, in Atsirian ]

... I feel really bad for her! But I can't really do anything, uhm. I wish I could.

Maybe I can help her by helping her brother when he comes here, although I guess it's going to be quite a while. ... I hate this. Corrina is dead, and Westa's entirely family is dead and I have all of mine. It doesn't seem fair.

I wonder if there's anything else I can do, just to have something to do.

I feel soooo much better now~

I really don't feel well ...

[ Filter: Private, in Atsirian ]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii don't know what to say.

Everything is so serious and has been since everyone left, augh. And Edalene isn't much fun anymore, not that trying to be more mature is a bad thing or anything, but she doesn't seem happy like she used to be.

I don't like it.

And the meetings are even more tedious than normal. It's all blabla, let's talk about doom and stuff and murder. I guess I should try to pay attention. Mother would like it.

But.
