[As you may have figured, I've been unable to write much while moving and all. But here's a brief update. Though it's not up to date just yet.]

To my great surprise and admittedly my joy, my nephew arrived to Nightveil not long after Estelle and Spy had left. It appears I had worried him a little too much with my letters. Urath’s a good man and to see that he crossed the ocean just to check on me warms an old tired heart. For some days now, I have enjoyed his care and comfort. It’s great to be able to talk with someone without it ending in arguments or misunderstandings. I’m not used to being alone in my home and I greatly miss my daughter and husband. It’s good to have another presence around again.
He’s encouraged me to take time off work and time away from everything. After the recent revelation that Lapis had tried to help me through my grief in a less than good way, I welcomed it. I’ve rarely felt as tired as I felt after I learnt that Lapis never meant to make me feel like I have about mourning. It is nice to now spend my days mourning as I should, when I need to, with someone to just talk to and be with for comfort.
Sadly, Urath did run into Nerissa before he found me. Judging by an angry Victor’s recent ‘visit’ the woman’s not doing well from the experience. Victor urged me to toss Urath out so that Nerissa can feel safe, but I will not do that. Yes, I do care for her well being, but for once in my life I need to allow myself to focus on myself. I need Urath here right now. Victor’s pissed of course, but I’ve given my word that Urath won’t leave my home and he’ll have to settle for that.
There was a man present while Victor and Urath met. I can not recall the man’s name at the moment, but I hope he gets greeted well by the townsfolk.

I have hurt my head. Nerissa, in her attempt to meet Urath to rid of her fears, used her abilities to slam me into a wall. I can’t write much. I still feel weak from the seizures I’ve had and keep having. Urath’s a good caretaker and Lapis is of course a brilliant doctor. I really enjoy when she stops by to check on me. I finally received word from Orvich and it’s with relief and joy I try to write a reply.

I’m much better now. While I still feel worn and tired, the seizures appear to have stopped and I’m able to go visit my granddaughter at the clinic again. Before I hit my head, Zaira and Bishop had been caught barricaded and hungover in the clinic. Lapis had of course been furious. At that time, the two insisted there was nothing going on and today they decided to kiss to tell their grandmother they’re dating. Of course, I had a word with both, but I’m rather glad that they both have someone. As long as they don’t start fucking and Zaira gets knocked up, all should be fine.
I’ve also stumbled over Lapis hugging Kane, to much more surprise I have to admit. I thought the young girl held absolutely no interest in relationships or love. I’m unsure how she’ll handle, but I’ll keep an eye out and we’ll see. At least Kane’s a good young man.
Otherwise, I’m currently taking Urath’s advice and keeping a small distance towards Lapis. Leaving her be. It’s not a pleasant thing to do for a grandmother and it does hurt a bit to keep remembering to not go to her when I feel I’d like to talk. But if it makes the girl feel better in the long run I better get used to it.

We’ve quite suddenly attended Caesar’s and Copper’s wedding in Auria. I found it a golden opportunity for Urath to meet more of my family, and his I suppose, so he came with. My granddaughter Ezrita is absolutely heartbreakingly adorable and my great grandson Hart isn’t any less so. I’m overjoyed to have met both. They’re the sweetest little things.
Of course, it wasn’t without most the family wishing a word with me before the wedding. They’ve been concerned. I spoke with Netha in length, which was very pleasant. She listens, my sweet daughter, and she understands so well. To not mention she makes absolutely fucking lovely strawberry muffins, how Lucas haven’t grown fat as a house yet is a mystery. I told her that I’m no longer considering to retire to Auria, at least not anytime in the near future. I just don’t have it in me any longer and Auria holds too many memories. A lot of them bad. To not mention, I wish to wait for my Spy to come back to Nightveil. Of course, she understands, and encouraged me to start the school I plan to and take students. As well as encouraged my ideas for books. She showed an interest in reading them and helping with having copies made.
I also spoke with Light. He’s still mourning his wife, but it appears his son keeps him going. However, he struggles to start anew as a lone father without a home or a carpenter shop to tend to customers in.
Caesar was far too busy for me to get much words with. The boy’s so in love with his new wife I certainly understand why. It was great to see both happy. And the Ko’Ban wedding was a lovely occasion that I’ll always remember. Though it wasn’t without a moment where I wished my sister could’ve been there to see and experience it. I visited her grave the first I did when I arrived, so that I wouldn’t have it to think about during the wedding.
The Connors here are fine. Knight’s a bit quiet, Copper’s happy and Ruby’s adorable and reminds a lot of her mother. Rook’s busy starting a new family. Though why the man’s suddenly friendly and wishes a word with me is a mystery.
There was of course an incident of one of Bishop’s old flings tossing herself onto him and Zaira’s reaction to that. I had a word with her as she seemed upset, but I do believe they’ll be fine.
It’s been a joyful and long day celebrating this wedding, and it’s left me feeling tired. It’s about time I rest.
