Well, today I learned a useful lesson; how to butcher meat. It smelled quite bad, especially, when I punctured the guts, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I feel a lot more prepared for having a dragon now I've done that. It was Veyes that showed me how; newish candidate who I've seen around but not really spoken to before. He seems nice. I have to wonder about his history though; he had some quite noticeable scars on his back. Still, I suppose it isn't any of my business.
We went and looked at the clutch together again once we were clean; he's as enthralled by them as I am. There was another new candidate there by the crack, brought in by the same rider that brought Veyes. I have to wonder about that too; why he was away for so long, how he got hurt... Humm, again, not my business. Still, Veyes and L'thor went off together, and I took Nehren - the new candidate - down to the dorms. He's very shy yet, but I'm sure he'll gain confidence soon.
The touching will be soon.
I can hardly wait!

The Touching was indescribable. I made it. I can hardly believe it. I really can't describe it. The elation, the nervousness, the anticipation... Not long until the hatching now. I'm going to make it to that, too. I'm determined, and I'm being very, very careful...

Well, I didn't Impress. I am more disappointed than I expected to be. I mean... it is only my first standing, and I have many more chances ahead of me, but it was hard to see others fine their lifemates while I just stood there. At least I have Gilden though; she's being wonderful. I think I shall go for a swim to clear my head a bit; I can't face the idea of the feast.

b*****d!
I trusted him. Veyes. Nothing but a low little thief! And I'm no better; I drank the wine he took, so I'm a thief as well. All my life I have behaved, followed every rule, even the stupid ones and he has taken all that away from me in a moment! This night will not soon be forgotten, not by my fellow candidates and not by our superiors. This black mark will always been on my record. I have never hated anyone so much in my life as I hate Veyes. I feel sick with rage, I would love nothing more than to beat him to a pulp! I can't though. I won't violence is not the way forward. I will remember this though. I will remember this until the day I die. I may yet be dismissed from future hatchings. That b*****d, may the Thread take him, may have destroyed my whole life!
The next few days will be terrible. We're all on latrine duty; all candidates. It doesn't matter that I, that most of us, were not involved in the theft. All that matters is that we were there. We will be punished just as much as Veyes and Firyal. I'm still shaking all over, Gilden is scared and angry and confused and the worst is to come. I just hope none of them try to hurt her. I don't mind a few bruises or worse even; I was stupid enough not to guess the wine was stolen so I should be punished. Gilden is innocent, but I an see people hurting her to hurt me. I shall have to make sure she knows to keep on the alert. Might get her to sleep in my mother's quarters where she'll be safe.
DAMN HIM!
I wish I never had to see his face again. How could he? How could he? I trusted him.
