Sailors?

Tonight arrived some new visitors in Kalris.

They seemed new to the Pantheon or maybe from the Old World.  But they knew common so maybe they have been around here before!

I am not sure what to think yet... I can say I don't have the best feeling.  Clara and Cinna were really worried. Eyas too, I think. Although Cinna was less worried about them than Sessha.

I didn't feel good about Rosa and Clara walking alone with them around though, so if I talk to them more maybe it will be during daylight.

One of them actually did give a list of names of the whole crew- though, without meeting them, I'm not sure how useful that will be.

But the weasels seemed to be with them and they were stopping critters in the middle of _{the road.. I mean... Not like Hallstone yet but.}

Well, I guess Williams story may have me a bit spooked too.

-

Oh wow, Elysia!! I had a feeling she was still around somewhere!  Glad to have an idea about what to work for that gift... Even though its.. gonna be... a lot... Urk.

I better keep an ear about what candle colors are coming out... I think Elyennes way shrine needed some more too.

But for myself I  probably save up for a camp stove first.  And really before that- more jars and plates and things 

So many tailoring projects I had also hoped to get started... Oh Silvanus, Those will be a while too.

But at least I got a nice start on the newcomer project! That's what's most important.

It's nice to keep a couple scarfs on hand in case I see any critter who needs one... Goodness, Silvanus worked on fast!!

.._{I think I may have lost all my clothes....}

I don't ever noticing them fall apart! But they were pretty old so...

Well not the best timing for all that

-

I've got to be careful though....

Poor Valens and Clara.... Sick!!!

Jyra-Tul be praised, the next I saw Valens he seemt well. The martens took care of them both. And I brought Clara some soup!

Ossien warned about a disease called RedLung

Oh no!!

I have a feeling most things should not be that color!

Although!  The red root soup was red was pretty good!

Hm. Maybe I should have brought ThAT one to Clara. Though I thought I let her tried it when she was feeling better.

Oh my stars I owe so many pancakes

And more hardtack than ever I've made in my whole life!!

Well I didn't get to work out any new recipes but maybe that's was Velyra trying to keep me focused.  And almost all the soups turned out well.  Velyra bles! 

Was I really cooking for multiple days??

Days?!

Oh and actually thGs that's not true - I did make some rice and rice flour 

And! Special Bunritos

I mean.. I don't think that's new - Windy definitely already did that before- but it was new to me!  Velyra bless... It was busy but always so nice to see everyone who comes by. Velyra bless them all!

Oh stars I know I said the wrong thing...

Today I met a few more pirates...

I wasn't too worried at first but then...!

_{Ack but then- Quarrel was talking to Azar about hiding something!!}

Why didn't I just wait in there with the wet towel?!?!

And worse than that Chisels been around and she?? Beat William up and took his soaps!!

He works too hard for her to being doing all of that!!

I feel so bad.. I ended up yelling at William a little even though he actually had a pretty good idea. I mean.. she .. likes?? To fight, anyway...?? 

_{Oh but no it feels bad if they would all gang up on her though...}

Urk.. and from what I saw, trusting any of the pirates is not such a good idea.

Poor Pack!! 

I really really tried to distract them.   Or at least change what they felt like taking. It was hard because Chisel was telling them everything anyway. Maybe she could have just slipped me her money and I would have ran off with it!  

_{Loosing coin is better than losing a necklace though, isn't it...? I mean when I got robbed and they took my ring that felt pretty bad... But they might have taken more if they beat me up. I don't know... I'm still mixing up money even still.. maybe I shouldn't carry all my fake coins everywhere... I} don't want them to take them!!

Thank Velyra  Grieren came in with that cake... At very least that distracted them from what was going on in the corner.

And I don't even feel good about leaving Rosa alone with them still. I mean. I don't. Think?? They would hurt her?? But I don't know what's going on and I'm jumpy!!!

But if there's one thing that is true, I think Chisel would actually protect Windy probably. So there's that at least.

Maybe out of all of them, it wouldnt be so bad to talk to Talbot though, I mean he... NO WAIT HE WAS LITERALLY THE ONE BOTHERONG PACK WHAT AM I SAYING

aaaa

Does he know more herbs though...?? Hemlock did talk about meeting him... But if the meeting was like Packs meeting...

_{Would this Dredge know how to make sea pudding..?}

Oh I'm so jumpled up...

Mentioning Lowe... The more I think about it the more that feels like a BAD idea.  Can I even FIND the spot to show them?! Well. Maybe. I will probably show them a lot of the wrong spots first though.... Oh Morothi please just let them forget I said anything...!!

I have seen more of the pirates, again..

Really not great.... 

Again, strangely... I do not feel.. hm... Well, I am upset with them, but they have mostly been fair.  _{I don't hate them?  They've sort of been like Chisel but nicer about it. And less fleas about it.}

^{(..I don't hate Chisel, for the record!!)}

She's definitely scarier than them to me

Well when the captain chased after Slate that was pretty scary!  But Slate seemed to be.. accepting? About it. I will be on their side if they want to do something about it but- well untill then I guess I'm still playing things by ear.

The pirates have been strangely nice to me? I saw what they did at the bridge, and to Pack... But the captain got me a drink?  And Talbot was really ... In the end, the captain didn't even seem interested in the place I was going to show them. 

Poor Slate and Lacosa.... I would have never expected the otters to jump in the freezing water like that!! And now theyve gotten sick... I've heard of others getting sick too, like uhm... Sapphire and Krajok again, I think.  

I'm not sure if they got enough rocks for what they wanted or not. I just hope they don't push it too hard if they end up making them go... Again..

Or..

Well, they didn't try to rob Lowe. Huh??? I mean- Not that I WANT them to rob Lowe but HUH???

But anyway... 

Should I bring them some medicine?? Talbot acted like it was nothing serious but... Well, I had a few false alarms before my sickness got worse when I had that!!

Maybe it's... A bad idea... But I can't help but be curious about meeting Dredge still.

Otherwise! I've been cooking and looking mostly!

I met a few new folks... More mouses who don't know common.. er.. tricker name this time Zeflinia or something.  Ack... I've already forgotten the one that DID know it.

Oh and I also met Val! Yay!

Well seems we have all made it through a nother winter it seems. Thank Silvanus Thank Silvanus and Elyenne for sending Elyderwyn my way just before he left.

I have to admit I am excited about scrounging again! But it is still going to be cold a while, so I'll keep an eye out for new folks as always. But who knows... Maybe in a few months I'll be able to set my cloak aside to be dyed! Now that would be something

The pirates have come again!!

And this time...

_{Well nothing bad happened this time actually.}

In fact ...

I won at gambling!!! Pirate gambling??? With Quarrel?!?! (Morothi I don't know how that makes sense but thank you!!!)

The game we played was... Numbers Dice..!!! Er.. actually I'm not sure it had a name. It was easier for me to understand than Farkle though, I think... The trick is...! BELIEVE IN THE NUMBER YOU PICKED!!!

And Dredge was kind enough to give me a big hint... Oh Velyra bless her!! The TEXTURE!!! Of course! I knew I was forgetting

Oh! Well I can't get too excited yet... Somehow I am ending the day in the same place I woke up.. sick again! Thank Il-Tira Rosa was around to help... I guess I'll have to see her again soon!

Actually that does give me an idea...

_{I might need to comb some more beaches before that though??}

Anyway! Apparently Chisel did something to make the pirates mad. Goodness...

I mean it was probably going to happen sooner or later. They were thinking I would hide her?? Well. I mean, maybe I would if I knew a big group was about to jump her but er...

_{(Shoot.. I didn't realize my key opened that door??)}

Well and also There are few few times I have wanted to.. LOOK for Chisel??  She is more the sort of critter who finds YOU when you are uhm NOT looking for her.

Somehow I don't think she'll have that big a problem about their... "Terms"...

I haven't heard too much more about Pack’s plan.. I think Owen and Caires said they would try to help. So I hope that doesn't go too badly for them. Caires did already have that trouble with Cher...

Maybe Pack wouldnt want to crush them so much if she just sat down and played a game or numbers dice. She might even get her coin back!! Oh well. 

Song was excited to see the pirates too! Ah! I forgot I gave his present away or moved it(???) so hopefully I can get him something else nice soon. It was just crystals, I'm sure I can ask Sebastian about that. I was a little worried at first since.. well.. I know how Song is sometimes... But he seemed happy! Maybe he can play numbers dice next time too!

Oh my nose... Well.. bye!

-

When I woke up, Pack was not too happy with me, I think...

For a long time it was just me, her, and Owen... But then lots were coming in and out- sick!! Or well.. fleas.

I don't.. think I gave Pack fleas...?

Unless.. I GAVE HER all OF MY FLEAS WORHOUT REALIZING!!!

OH Jyra-Tul I haven't meant for this!!!

Thankfully, Ossien was prepared.

And William came to help as well!

I think I must be really, truly better this time....

Ah.. maybe I was too confident about the pudding. Velyra, I know I must be getting closer...! 

I probably should have took a warm bath before cooking, but since it was snowing...

Well. 

Maybe that wasn't the sign Silvanus was trying to show us. She did seem to be saying.. something.. all the while I was sick.

Thank you again, Silvanus...

Urk... We will find the white dye... Before next winter- I'll be sure if it!!!
