I am well now.
These past few days, I have been brushing up on my cooking skills. I found some stock of sleepshrooms I’d forgotten about, and roasted them. They’re not quite as good as K—as I would like, just yet, but it was a relief to eat hot, fresh food. As kind as her intent was, mother is a terrible cook, and cold porridge is as unappetizing as it can get. With luck, I will be able to avoid that well-intentioned blunder for a little while.
I have not yet mentioned it: I am in San d’Oria again. Though I did not – do not, still – think it was anywhere near a good idea to come here, I remembered the letter from that friar we met in Windurst. Even if it were unimportant, it was past due the time for delivery, so today, I met Friar Eperdur once again.
Je—Ah… …I mean…
The friar indeed gave me another scroll of teleportation, this one to the Crag of Mea. It will be easier than ever to return home, now.
Unfortunately, I can’t yet go back. I had only meant to deliver the letter and return home immediately, but mother wished me to get her some supplies from the weavers’ guild shop in Selbina, as it was far closer to San d’Oria than to Windurst. After her painstaking care for me, I could not very well refuse.
There were no adventurers I knew in San d’Oria. The few citizens we had met together showed no signs that anything was wrong.
Everything will be all right. I will leave early in the morning.
