toldbyafoolThis is not going as well as I'd hoped!
I guess the subject is still sore, you know? I mean, the funeral was only last week ... People are still smarting. People have still been smarting since she died, none of us are really over it. I think it's going to be a good five years before we get over it ...
So maybe I should wait five years!
But it feels weird to duck out on this so early. And right after I've started making commitments, too. I've been talking with some of the directors in the area, they're all filled up on roles and it's not like they'd have something for me on such short notice, but they can give me stagehand and usher work. And I have practice with that! A bunch of them know I have practice with it ... a lot of people are surprised I came back. They said some stuff about how anytime they see the back of someone leaving Eblar, they usually vanish without a trace and never come back!
Anyway, an old friend of mine is also leaving town for a bit later this month, and he wants someone to keep an eye on it while he's gone, so I guess Ema and I happened along at just the right time. His mother's come down with ... well, I guess nobody here wants to hear that, either, but it's pretty terrible. I've known him almost as long as I've been working in Eblar, so he knows he can trust me. And it's just for a few weeks, but I don't mind keeping it in shape, and it's sure cheaper than staying in an inn.
The chapel's still lit up every night. Maybe I could try and get in touch with some people through the priests ... they might be able to make it clear that I don't mean any harm.
