 Egg Tour (Perilas, Liang, Lucia, and Aysel)So maybe dragons aren't as scary as I thought they were? Brother Teagan took me to the place at D-Corp where they keep the dragon eggs, and I got to see mine. It was really pretty, I wasn't really expecting that. I thought all dragons were kind of scaly and gross, and I suppose some of them are, but I my egg was just... I don't know. It was kept in this really pretty shrine, and it was yellow with green swirls. It had a little ring of horn-type things on the top, and a ring of rubies around it. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Brother Tea says it will probably hatch soon, and maybe come live with us. It will need a name then. But what?

 My little princess
Written by Ul
I don't know why, but since Liang's last visit to the teahouse she's been... Different. I can't quite put my finger on it, but she definitely seems more confident. She had a little trouble visiting her dragon egg, though Teagan now tells me she liked it, it doesn't seem to have phased her. She says the teacher told her the red things (I still have no idea what she means by that) were just spots, but that she's convinced they're rubies. It's a little unnerving, but good at the same time. She's never gone against an older person's, especially a man's, word like that before. Maybe this who shy submissive thing is just a phase? I'm beginning to think that might be the case. Some days's she's bolder than others, and some she even decides she wanted to "be one of the guys" and hang around with her brothers. Maybe she's just trying to find herself?
She's been spending a lot of time in her room, and up until a few days ago I didn't know why. The walls are no longer the plain white she seemed so intent on keeping. Now they bear a beautiful setting sun mural with an evergrowing poem painted in black. I read over what was there when I checked, but I didn't recognize where it was from. Maybe Liang wrote it herself? From what she has so far it seems to be the story of a young girl finding out she is actually the future empress, presumed dead for years by her real family. Near the end it starts on the coming of her true love, but then it drops off. Apparently she had been adding a few words a day up to that point, but there haven't been any since. Could she be worrying about whether or not she'll find true love? I hope not. It seems like something she would worry about though.
She's a beautiful girl, even though she doesn't seem to be able to see it herself and even this young I worry about her. She doesn't have many female friends, if any at all, and when she's around boys she tends toward the domestic, trying to please them. Maybe that's what she wants for her life? She's too young to be deciding things like that though. She should be out having fun and getting in trouble. But then, forcing her to be outgoing is just as bad as forcing her to be a domestic, isn't it? Even now, she cares for the other kids when they're feeling sick or upset,, and Teagan tells me she helped another D-Corp boy "paint his wishes". Maybe I should just wait and see. But it's so hard to watch your daughter grow up and see so many chances for her to get hurt and have her heart broken.

Things That Go Bump in the Night
Written by Liang
This holiday, Halloween I think it's called, has me on edge. Dee and the Relis have been watching scary movies all month, and Jack has been taking the opportunity to pop out from weird places and scare me. And since it's so near this day, Mother doesn't seem to care. She's been getting bowls and bowls of candy and sewing these funny outfits. She says they're for trick-or-treating, and that I should go, but I think I'll just stay home and help her. But then, she also told me about parties, and I think that's where Teagan is going. But I don't think he'll want to take me, he's going with his friends. Mother said the costume she made for me was Rainbow Brite, and I don't really know who that is, but it's very pretty and colorful. Jack is being something from one of the worst horror movies they were watching, Battle Royale, but he doesn't seem to like the metal collar that goes along with it. The Relis are all being members of some band, and mother's being a maid. I don't know exactly what Tea's being, but it looks sort of like it's glowing. He says he's not dressing up, he's going to a club, but that looks an awful lot like a costume to me. But then, Tea's older, surely he'd know more about that sort of stuff than me, right?
Mora got me to watch one of those movies with her, I think it was called Nightmare on Elm Street, and I haven't told Mother this, but I haven't really been able to sleep since then. Mora says it's in my head, that it's just a movie, but I don't know. Roscoe thinks it's kind of funny. He's a jerk, but I love him. I don't know. I know things like that aren't real, and I'm not dumb enough to believe them, but it still gets under my skin. For now I've been sleeping with a nightlight, and Mother is making sure no one makes fun of me for it.
