I had made my way last night to the stream, most nights it is quiet and I can sit for many ahns with my feet in the water letting everything wash away, that would not be so last night. There were a few gathered about and some I do not know. New faces. I almost backed up and returned to my wagons, not sure I really was comfortable around so many. But, I was there so I continued onward and drew closer, thankfully Cana and Ba'atar where there, so I lingered for a few moments. A new young artisan is seeking her way, she has a task from Ba'atar already, that should prove interesting, she was quiet, at least for now and that she seems to have a kiss of sorrow lingering around her heart. I did not ask it was not the time nor the place. Asria was there speaking with an old man, and I can safely say old, for he looks older than even my father, who is older than dirt. At least that is what we tell him. It seems he is a year keeper seeking his way also, I caught a few of his words but did not interrupt the two, Cana mentioned he is interesting, perhaps one night our paths will cross and I will speak with him. I am curious of him.
Lei was doing something with Fonce, she had this look of determination about her, there is no doubt that young one is determined and full of life. Cana asked if I needed anything, there are things I need but they cannot give them to me. She often checks to see if I am alright and I am grateful for it and her concern means much to me. I did assure her I was alright, though I would need some help with the wagons, she offered to send a few men over. I accepted this, I am not sure if she was surprised given how I tend to be stubborn and do things on my own. But, there are some things I cannot do so the help will be needed.
I did not linger long, I found myself not comfortable, and I returned to my wagons, am I getting used to being alone so fast that now it is to hard for me to be among people. We shall see if this works it way out or if it continues, if it does not pass, then I may have to go and live in one of those secluded hidden places like an old hermit.
The men came early to help, they sure did seem a bit cautious as if afraid I was going to do something, they found one of the wagons had a wheel that needed to be repaired. Along with a few other things that would require repair, I found out later that Cana had warned them if they did not do it right they would end up in a jar, it is funny to see some still think I can turn them into lizards, that is something I do not think will ever be forgotten, I may just have to find a few and keep them about just in case I need them. Yamka joined us for a short time she has been from what she said taking care of some of the elders, the poor girl I think I shocked her by my age, she must have thought me rather young, I think that is a compliment though I am not sure. I did not stay long as I needed to take care of a few things.
Along the way I passed Ba'atar, he was watching the boys throw quiva,we spoke for a short time, I had inquired if he had seen my father, as I had not, I wanted to speak to him about the youngest sons naming,I am growing concerned now, Ba'atar has not seen him, he did offer to do it for me if my father was not able to, I thanked him for that, it was something important and to know that it would be taken care of when needed was important to me. We spoke of how the children were doing and of various things. Now one thing made me a bit uneasy, and I am not sure I am in complete agreement. Men, they tend to have strange ideas, though I am sure I have nothing to worry about, I have decided.. to use the fact that I have had a few mates and well only one former one lives.. so that could make me cursed.. yes.. I rather like that, to mate me could be a risk of your own life, definitely would make a man think before even contemplating such.. The cursed Spex. That makes me laugh, but you know what. It could keep them away from my wagons.
I think I shall rest tonight, I have over done it even for me. Perhaps the answer will come to me on how to be around people again.
