Wahahaha, I finished my room! Turns out the small room is just perfect in size for a cozy bedroom! Now I just need the rugs Zeki sells in his night market to not be so expensive...
Moving the bed out of the main room means now I actually have space for all the cooking stuff, and I am definitely subscribing to a large room when it comes to making myself a cooking space. I can have the kitchen on one end and the eating area on the other, that's fine, I just need space to work.
Speaking of space to work, Uncle B told me that he's not supposed to sell me any more garden soil, which is super not cool. I can totally handle more gardening space! But he said Auntie Del was worried about me just living on my home plot. Maybe I can talk him into one or two more later on...
Aaaahhh, I meant to get a picture of Jel, but then he turned and looked at me and I panicked. But he was so happy to see me, I don't think he noticed the Kamera.
It has been a bit since we talked, so he said he'd thought I'd forgotten about him. I could never, but I also couldn't tell him I'd never, so I just started talking about the garden, and the preserve jars, and the house, and he just... he listened. He smiled and listened, and didn't look bored at all. And then he told me how quiet and dreary it was when I wasn't there and oh my god, I just about died again.
It was probably a good thing I had to run off to Bahari Bay before sundown. If nothing else, that gave me an escape excuse, and I could blame any face redness on the fact that I practically ran the whole way. Jeez. Why is he so good at making me feel flustered? Reth and Jina are both nice too, but they don't make me feel like he does!
Bahari, at least, was profitable. I finally found some Palium! Man. That's hard to find. I also found a weird little cave near some underground geysers!
I think I was directly under the bluffs? I wonder what this place was for. Lark said they think it was some sort of temple, but I think it looks more like a power source. Like whatever that used to be, that was something to do with this Flow that everyone's always going on about.
I feel like, if I could just get all the things I need for the Fish constellation in the Night Sky Temple--or even solve Jina's new riddle--that I could maybe start figuring out what some of this other stuff is. I've found so many doors that look like they need a flow battery, like the one I put in that door next to the Phoenix Temple place. But I can't find any more batteries...
I spent the evening moving stuff around again. I think on the left of my land, I'm going to have tents for things like the sawmills and the kilns and stuff, so that when it rains they don't get wet or rusty, but also so it looks less cluttered. And then on the right, there's my garden, and this little cozy spot here!
Hm... I should plant more trees when I wake up. I have a bunch of seeds for that, and I wouldn't mine having that be a bit more tree... oh, no, I just had an Uncle B joke hit me. It would be more Poplar-ated if I planted trees.
Damnit, now I need to go smother myself with a pillow. Maybe Dad will loan me one...
Oh, and Elouisa asked me what my favorite cryptid thing was, and I said a platypus. She told me that was a human myth, but I swear it's not! I remember what the thing looks like, and I know it was a real thing.
I just... I have no idea how I know this.
I've been doing that a bit more lately. It's kind of unnerving, but I can't really talk to anyone about it. Not even other humans. Lark has their own trials to deal with.
....maybe I'll go iron hunting with Lark later tho. They complained to me that they're struggling to find some, and it'd be fun to hang around another human again. Like. On purpose.
Okay. Smother myself with a pillow letter, write to Lark now.
