I was passing by the place the kass’at stay, and smelled a new scent. I went in to check it out. New person, said she was a wolf changer. I went in to go sniff at her, and do introductions. She didn’t seem to understand me at all. I repeated it in English, and she said she recognized my name, but was confused why I wasn’t a guy. I, uh, didn’t explain that. I left, and noticed Rogue watching me from the room. She’s creepy.

Next day, in the caern, I’m watching the fire dance (and working through my thoughts on mages - more later), and Rogue comes up, and gives me a startle. After a bit, she said she thought Deer-Metis was hiding from her, and I asked her why she didn’t hunt him down in the one place he probably is - the scab. She’s afraid of her rage in the scab. I asked if this meant she had poor control, and she claimed it didn’t. That’s weird. In explaining how not-weak-willed she was, she mentioned she didn’t hit Song-Of-Vengeance after she insulted me and my sister, and our tribes. Apparently, right after I left yesterday, the Get cub was complaining someone threatened to kill him (which was probably me, but I didn’t threaten anything), and Song-of-Vengeance apparently said it was either me or my sister, because the rest of the tribes don’t do these things. Said we were too focused on our beliefs and honour.

I’m going to have to have words with my sister about this. Maybe I don’t have honour, but no one badmouths my sister like that. Her honour is impeccable.

I don’t remember my dreams at all from last night, but I didn’t sleep even remotely well. It’s probably to do more with the fact that I had all my guts rifled through before I went to sleep. I woke up needing to pee blood, which I’m very sure is not the normal way it works. I made a very bad decision by agreeing so soon. I have incredibly powerful Tuunrat, imagine what would have happened if I had arrayed many of them in working with the Mage? I remember he expressed… is it optimism? I have a hard time sharing it, now that we’ve used up what was probably the easiest way we had.

( A rought start to the day, with Deer watching )

( Learning more from Fire-Dancer; children come up. )
( Scar visits, and I meet an weirdo. )

( Getting payment for a mage from malfeas, and then realizing I forgot something )
( Running into the mage again. Maybe we can work together, or at least learn something from eachother. )

On the way back to the mountains, I had a change to clear my head, trot without thinking. I ran into a deer on the way back, but I couldn’t get it to run so I could chase it. Eventually, it went to go stand in a small pond. No fresh meat tonight, I guess. I should be adjusting the parka so it fits my current shape tonight, but instead I’m studying this drawing again. I think if I figure some more of it out, it will go a long way to understanding how world-warpers work their craft. I won’t go back to the Community hall just yet - this is a very interesting puzzle.
