Is this home?

Day 1 of the 2nd month of the harvest and I'm back in the imperial city.I guess it feels more like home than I thought it would. It was easier to get in than I thought- thought why would they care if I was here I don't know.
Mother will already know. 
She always knows. 
Grandma would have told me to formally let her know anyways.
So I did.
Still not sure that was a good idea but it felt right. A little challenge "the prodigal returns".
LOL probably was so stupid. Ugh it was stupid why did I do that???
I know because she'd have discovered it anyways so this way I get to pretend I'm independent. Let's see how long it takes her to prove me wrong.

I've only been in town a few hours, How do I not screw this up already!

Didn't expect that!

3rd day of the 2 nd month of harvest.

I finally convinced Kati that some recon would be a good idea for tonight's job if going after that arms stash. Okay so yeah I wanted to see the area hear some blues and smell good food. I didn't realize how much I missed this place. 

Do you know hat happened instead? We walk into a local dress shop (ball for the Empress remember) okay I wanted to look at fancy dresses I will not feel guilty about that. But then I see this guy and his fiancée in the shop and who is it but that guy my mom tried to marry me to. Adamar GildanUgh why do I even remember him? I saw him like once for like 15 minutes?! I mean he totally wouldn't remember me so that's cool.

So WHY DID I RUN AWAY!

I'm so angry I just - I can't believe I did that. But what was I gonna do make small talk, yeah that wouldn't be always at all. At least Kati got to help him out. Maybe he was just as much a pawn of this whole connection thing. I know it's not his fault and listening to Gwen beret him made me feel bad. 

No I'm not going to feel bad he knows what he's getting into. Well maybe. Looks like he has to do the military service and forced marriage. Why? Did he piss off his family too? It didn't seem like his father hated him? So why do it?

And to have to marry Geva Lester Only the -ugh- most obnoxious girl from school. She always wanted to be higher rank than she was. Good luck though I don't know where she'll find the elegance.

Poor guy, he seemed nice, he probably deserves better than Geva.
