It brings me little joy to write this day. I have said my farewells to my dear friend Orri and she’s gone to where I can’t even pass by for a visit. I hope she does as much good for Atarsis as she dreams of.
The knighting went well, my friend was well deserved of it. The banquet after was quite something as well, I have never experienced its like. Chathra and Koi really showed off their skills and it makes me wonder if I shouldn’t see to festivities like these occurring more often.
I’m not sad to be rid of the boy, that I have to admit. A bit of a burden’s been lifted off my shoulders and he’s now someone else’s problem. After what the boy have done to an innocent relative of the one who ordered my assassination out of nothing but biased opinion, ignoring his fellow guards’ advices, I’d have had to rid of him. I’d call it a shame he’s not gonna pay for the act if not for the fact he’s gone for good.
It’s a terrible shame that he takes with him one of the best people this town has. But Orri had made her choice and I support it, wishing her well in her future endeavours and in life. Stars help that little shit Daulton if he lets her down.
Alroc somehow feels more empty without Orvich around. Well, to me that is. It is a strange feeling. A feeling of something missing, yet the woman’s alive and hopefully well. Not that I’m able to sleep before I know she arrived to her new home safely, but I find the lack of her presence makes the town appear more grey. I have to admit I feel more saddened than I even thought I would.

It has been a few days since they left and I’m trying to handle the more formal matters. I’ve had to take the title Guard Captain again for a while and I hope that Victor will take the title soon enough. But as I told him myself; I’m not handing it over without him earning it again. He’s in the past proven how bad he can be with the role. I want to be convinced he’s a better man than back then and that I can actually trust him to carry the responsibility and burden.
Zaira’s had to be taken in as junior guard to try to make up for the holes in the guard force, but we’re nowhere near what we need to be. My guard’s too small and inexperienced. I’ll see how it goes with putting more lamps up around town, but I still think it’ll only be a matter of time before we suffer greater problems with the dusk. I worry for our youngest guards, Bishop and Zaira, but I have to have faith in them and their abilities.
Victor didn’t know it was Morath that took Nerissa by force. His reaction to the news was as expected to suddenly learn of it, I was so certain he was aware that my brother and Nerissa’s rapist is the same person. The way he looked at me wasn’t pleasant, but he at least assured me he was just shocked. It came up as I told him I wished to apologize to the woman about what was done to her by the Alroc guard but wasn’t sure she wished to see me right now. I’m not sure in what way we can compensate her, but if there’s a way I’d like to do it. It shames us all what was done to her in the name of Alroc and its laws.

I’ve bombarded poor Ezri with letters by now. Without Orvich here I find myself without anyone to turn to.
I thought of talking to Lapis, but I’m already enough of a bother to the girl. To not mention she has plenty of her own problems to deal with and I’m probably both old and boring in her eyes. To not mention a monster it appears.
I wish I could speak with my daughter. But Estelle’s no interest in sharing with her mother it seems. Maybe it’s the age, but I’m afraid she rather I leave her alone entirely. Admittedly, she’s a young woman by now. She’s about ready to leave the home and live on her own and Zaira’s not far behind her. I’ve not considered talking with Zaira till now, but same problem applies. I don’t doubt she’d be alright with talking, but she’s got so much going on for her I don’t question her staying away almost whole days.
Maybe I should try Spy after all. His illness keeps me from discussing or talking about some things, but there shouldn’t be any harm in this topic.
A last resort may as well be to head to the inn and have a chat with Chathra.
